Works great! Here are some instructions...
I have no idea why people complain about this item. The rocks fill the tray perfectly, and it will clearly accomplish its purpose.
As for instructions, I am not a technical writer but here goes:
1. Please read all instructions prior to proceeding.
2. Using a razor knife or scissor, cut plastic wrapping and remove tray. Try to accomplish this step without cutting a hole in the plastic bag that contains the rocks. If you do happen to cut a hole in the rock bag, gravity will take over and the rocks, being heavier than air, will fall out. Depending on the surface the rocks will fall onto, they may bounce and scatter all over the place. If the surface the rocks falls onto is soft, the rocks will generally stay close to the initial place they fell. If the rocks fall onto the floor, be careful not to step on them as this can be a painful experience. If the rocks happen to fall into the tray, merely leave them as this is where they will live anyway for the foreseeable future. Any otherwise scattered rocks should be recovered and placed in the tray.
3. Assuming the rock bag is intact, utilizing the same cutting tool carefully cut a slit into the top of the rock bag. Note the rock bag is not labeled with a top or bottom so in this case the top is the side facing towards the sky.
4. Carefully pour the rocks and spread them out so that they cover the bottom of the entirety of the tray.
5. Place plant, pot and all, on top of rocks.
6. It should be noted here that the tray assembly will not, in most cases, generate its own humidity. Hence, the plant will still require watering.
I hope this helps!
