First of all they are not going to work if plant is really higher than your water source, also if they loose suction which is about 50/50 they will not work so monitor the water source to make sure water is actually being sucked out of it. I gave up on the concept in exchange for wicking water up with a nylon string in a reservoir through the bottom of the pla
Ideal watering system for your house plants when going on away for some time. Easy to install. I tested them on my plants, using a 1lt plastic milk bottle. It was enough to last more than three weeks. My only concern is over watering so I would not use them continuosly.
Is very useful, but u need to plug it under water to get a good seal and get the water going in the inside of the tip, also a big container of water probably is good for 3 to 4 plants.
These watering spikes are just the thing for keeping plants watered whilst away on holiday. They’re even good for using throughout summer so long as you keep the water container fairly full of water.
Very easy to use and it works wonders. I was away for 5 weeks for holidays and when I came back home, all my indoor plants are alive and well. Soil is damn but to overly wet.
When you set it up, make sure to fill in the tubes with water and no air bubbles in it. Aside from that, make sure you’ve got big buckets to dunk the other end in to ensure sufficient supply of water to the plants for the time you’re away.
Fcil instalacin. Importante el dejar en remojo, llenar los conos, el depsito tiene que estar a mayor altura y que el extremo est en el fondo del depsito (a veces hay que poner un peso para que se quede ah.
Valido sistema per mantenere vive le piante durante le assenze.
Me gusta por si me olvido de regar ese sistema me resuelve.
You need to follow the instructions carefully about getting bubble out of the system.
Quick to arrive, robust enough and work. If you have thirsty plants, eg tomatoes, you will need to parallel units up multiple units.
I bought these as I was going on a 3 week holiday and was worried about my plants.
I followed instructions but left everything soaking in a deep container filled with water for an hour. Then I shook the ceramic spikes under the water to expel any air bubbles and covered it with the lid while still submerged. Leaving the wire end under the water I just pushed the spike into the soil in the flower pot. I put two spikes into my larger flower pots. I marked the water level on the water container and noticed the next day that the water level was slowly going down. I installed the spikes into slightly moist soil as this system wouldn’t work in complete dry soil.
You do need to make sure the water within the capsule is full for the device to work- I also realise it only works for plants that consumes water fast to generate the pull of water. My indoor avocado plant used to dry out easily and needs watering every 3-4 days but now i had not watered it once since it’s fed by this device 3 months ago! It’s flourishing so well I needed to prune the leaves. I do need to top up a 5 litre mineral water bottle reservoir when level gets low but that’s it! Can’t be happier.
I read a few reviews, but I’m always taking things people say with a pinch of salt so was unsure.
I went away for a week and a half whilst it was very warm in the UK and my house plants are generally 50% in the sun during the day. These feeders worked a treat and kept my plants watered and healthy for the duration of my trip, and I can honestly say I was very surprised, and very delighted.
NOTE: I ensured there was no air in the tubes and that the plants/water spikes were elevated above the water bowl as per the instructions.
I’ve ordered several of these sets of spikes now. Both for indoor and outdoor plants. I have to redo fitting them every couple of weeks. But my plants seem much happier if I leave them in place in the summer. I still water with a hose most days, when I’m here. But having them in place means that I don’t feel as tied to my gaden.
These watering stakes work really well. I think you need to set them up quite precisely though or they may not work for you. The key is not having any air in the stake or the tube. You can do this by setting them up whilst fully submerged in water. You can then see all the air bubbles escaping from the end of the tube. There are good videos on Youtube of how to set them up as the instructions in these are a little vague. I am going to experiment with these a little more but I think they’ll work best for plants that need more rather than less watering as these stakes will be watering all the time it isn’t ideal for plants that like to dry out between waters. Very good quality products.
With an adequate water supply and set up properly these little things will keep houseplants or even greenhouse plants adequately watered with no fuss and no bother over a protracted period. We have used them to keep house plants alive and well for up to a couple of months with no problem.
Only just set up & used for first time(hence only 4 star rating) but after 1 day the plants all appear to be watered, i kept the water containers below the level of the plants so as not to over water & it has seemed to
work, so i will continue to experiment & hopefully more happy watering.
I was going away for 2 weeks and searching for a solution to keep my houseplants alive. These absolutely did the job. I submerged the entire ‘spike’ end in water to fill them, ensuring there were no air bubbles to stop the flow. When I returned all of my plants had soil that was moist to the touch and were flourishing.
Buena opcin para mantener tus plantas si no vas a poder atenderlas en una temporada
Really great product, we were on holiday for 2 weeks and this product worked really well. Our plans looked great when we got back!
They kept my plants Alive all summer long while I was away on holiday abroad. all my plants thrived so much that I ended up sticking to this system afterward too! So green & healthy and grown!
Only two considerations, if you leave for two months like I did, you need to use a whole bucket per plant for watering as on average most of my plants drink 750ml water per week. Also this is does not seem like the greatest system for small plants (7cm diameter) , as they turn out overwatered. Other than that, splendid system!
I’ve used these for years. I have nine house plants that thrive even when I’m not around to water them. Caution:. They must be primed before installing–soakthem in water until the ceramic insert is full of water. After that the laws of physics take over. Don’t let the water container go empty.
I left 5 weeks and installed 3 of these things in the pot (as the plant is quite big, 1,4m). It worked perfectly well, when I came back my plant was superb and the soil still humid. Highly recommended!
When I’m gone for multiple days it really helps with my smaller plants to make sure they are getting some water and aren’t dying of thirst when I get back. I like the big water bulbs for my larger plants but these are perfect for my smaller ones.
Mantiene perfectamente la hidratacion de las plantas en ausencia y la duracion es bastante larga.
Useful tip. As the tube that feeds the water is twisty, I drilled holes in a piece of wood and passed end of tube through , so the wood floats and open end of tube stays in the water.
Li abbiamo acquistati per la seconda volta visto che consentono di mantenere il terreno umido a lungo. Bisogna assicurarsi per di adoperarli su un terreno abbondantemente inumidito in precedenza e non secco altrimenti in meno di 10 giorni la bottiglia da 2lt di acqua gi quasi consumata. Considerare anche il tipo di pianta perch alcune tirano acqua pi velocemente (es. un piccolo pino in vaso) di altre per cui conviene adoperare contenitori pi grandi della solo bottiglia da 2lt. Per altre piante invece (piante da fiori o ornamentali) la bottiglia stata sufficiente anche fino ad un mese e mezzo senza che la piante soffrisse troppo.
L ho comprato non fiduciosa al 100%, cercavo un sistema sicuro per le piante del mio terrazzo per il periodo che andr in ferie. Ho provato questo sistema per 10 giorni per vedere se funzionava e di quanta acqua avevano bisogno le mie piante per 10 giorni…..il risultato sorprendente, le mie piante stanno meglio di quando ero io a dargli da bere e ora posso andare in ferie serena e soddisfatta.
Il costo nettamente inferiore ai loro omologhi originali (i miei sono austriaci) e fanno al 100% il loro dovere. La parte ceramica meno curata ma cmq funzionale. Occorre solo seguire le facili istruzioni (In inglese) e il gioco fatto.
I tested them a few times before leaving, and the one thing I would say, which isn’t really made clear on the instructions, is to make sure there are no air bubbles in the stake when you add the little lid on. I added the lid on whilst holding the stake underwater, and have found that this makes sure that it continues to work! Then just make sure your plant babies have enough water!!!
Finalmente al ritorno dalla vacanza ho trovato le mie piante ancora in vita grazie a loro.
excellent for watering individual plants in pots if you are likely to forget like me.
simple to use. i had some of these at least 10 years ago and my last one recently gave up after pretty much continous use.
i havent seen them about for a while, so i was really pleased with this purchase. im setting up new potting shed so my seedlings will not dry out now
These are awesome! But there’s a trick to getting them going… First, soak them at least an hour. When you do, push the hose underwater and weigh it down. A big spoon worked perfectly for me. Use a larger pot to soak them, then fill the top reservoir and put the cap on BEFORE removing them from the water.
I placed mine rather close to the plant stock. Only about 2″ away. Make sure the top of your water restore is below the top of the spikes reservoir, and you should be good to go.
They are more expensive than the plastic water spikes (see my other reviews) and they work so much better!
These worked for 20 chillies, 15 peppers and 12 tomatoes in plastic polytunnels, for a fortnight when the temperature soared into the 30s.
Works very well. I went on holiday for two week and I used this system to feed the plants. When I got back the plants were perfect.
Abbiamo messo le piante tutte vicine e utilizzato questi picchetti. al nostro ritorno le piante avevano bevuto tutto e stavano divinamente.
Pacco arrivato ben imballato e le ceramiche tutte intatte.
SUPER AMAZING
Aun no he conseguido controlar la cantidad de agua que queda en la tierra porque parece que la absorbe muy rapido
Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect due to so various reviews, but I though to give it a go as needed to find something and it was not expensive. I am glad I did, excellent product, I only tried 2 of them and it works perfectly well, I haven’t watered my plants for nearly 3 weeks now, very easy to install, just follow the instructions and watch some Youtube videos. By the way, there is no whole in it as there is no need for it, so don’t look for one or think you have a faulty product, as it works completely different. It is great value for money as you have 10 in a pack.
Remarkably enough I actually use them to water houseplants. What else?
My set arrived very quickly after ordering. Some comments here say that there were no set up instructions – I received a simple set of installation instructions with mine. Soak them for a good 20 minutes before installing. Fill the reservoir, firmly put on the cap and away you go. I use 5L mineral water bottles as a reservoir. All of my devices are fully operational. I use with all of my herb plants in pots on my very sunny large balcony. I find it best to dampen the soil before use to get the capillary action going. I weight the tubes down with old brass keys and plunge a few times – pumping motion to get the water flowing. I am very impressed with these simple devices and use to keep my outdoor plants watered all of the time – not just when away from home. I will purchase another set soon.
In a nutshell: it worked for me. Bought these before leaving on holidays for a couple of weeks and came back to find all my plants had survived. We’re actually leaving it permanently in place for some of them, as it seems to regulate watering quite well.
* Follow the instructions as shown in the pictures and it should just work.
* The amount of water reaching the soil depends on how high the water reservoir (cup, bottle, etc.) is placed in relation to the plant itself. The higher the water source is placed, the more water is delivered. Place it too low and very little or no water can reach the plant at all.
* Search for videos online to have a better understanding about how this system actually works.
Takes a bit of time to find best position. For water to flow easier make sure you straightened the cord out. Went on holiday for 3.5 weeks plants where still alive
Did as advertised can go away for a few days, and plants are fine when you get home.
works brilliantly if you follow instructions. I’d love to know how it works but it does
Dans un grand bac rempli d’eau, il faut mettre les cones en cramique 15 minutes minimum.
Je chasse l’air du tube marron en appliquant un tuyau d’arrosage lgrement ouvert sur l’orifice situ sur le bouchon vert.
Le tube marron est entirement plong dans l’eau du bac. Je vrifie qu’il n’y a plus d’air dans le cone cramique blanc.
J ‘enfonce fermement dans l’eau le bouchon vert sur le cone blanc. L’extrmit du tube marron est toujours dans l’eau. Je le place dans une bouteille d’eau remplie.
Avec un plantoir, je prpare le trou auprs des racines de la plante arroser. J’enfonce le cone presque entirement en poussant la terre auprs du cone. Je fixe un repre comme un adhsif sur la bouteille pour m’assurer du bon fonctionnement.
Une fois que l’amorage est ralis, cela fonctionne parfaitement.
