How to Assemble the Topsy Turvy Hummingbird

Take one flower seedling out of its container, turn it upside down, and lightly push the root ball and stem of the seedling up through the bottom of the growing bag. Put the included split sponge around the stem of the flower seedling on the inside bottom of the bag. Lock the split sponge into the locking collar of the bottom opening.

Feed the hanging hook through the plastic, cone-shaped piece at the top of the planter. Pull it taut, and hang the planter on your hanging system, stand or porch.

Put on the top rim by unhooking the bag, feeding the hook through the center of the circular, fluted rim piece, and dropping the rim over the planter. Line the rim up with each of the woven stainless steel wires. Push down the rim for a snug fit on top of the planter bag. Hang the planter back up.

The circular, spoked spider piece is used to hold apart the three wires. Put it in the center of the three wires, and lock the grooves on the spider piece, right above the permanent stops found halfway down each wire. Push the spider piece down to make sure it is snug in place, and the three wires are spread out evenly.

Scoop potting soil into the planter bag, being careful not to damage the root ball and stem of the flower seedling. It is best to start around the outside of the seedling's root ball and then evenly scoop to the middle. Continue to fill the planter with soil, leaving about 2 inches at the top.

Put the lid on by placing it in the center, on top of the soil. Pin down the lid with the soil pin by pushing the pin through the center hole of the lid.

Remove the remaining flower seedlings from their containers. Slightly break up the root balls, and plant one in each of the three spaces at the top of the planter, around the lid.
