Works well and saves a lot of wate
I also bought some from Litle German supermarket chain that were cheaper – however, those seem to break easily and were much less permeable.
All I would say is don’t buy in the height of summer as they put the prices up 50%…
Easy to use, good produc
Good product, kept plants alive during summer holidays. Make sure you use the correct shaped wine bottle, I made the mistake of using a straight neck bottle for one and broke the spike
I needed a self watering for my Bonsai and I thought these looked very nice but I only checked the width and not the height so they are a bit large for my smaller indoor plants but will be perfect for my larger plants . The clay makes sure that the water just seeps into the soil without flooding i
Excellent watering system!
I bought these in a hurry, because I was going on holiday and suddenly remembered my pot plants. They worked brilliantly! Unlike the plastic alternatives, these look nice and not out of place in a large terracotta pot. Water from the wine bottle just seeps out steadily through the stake. In fact, now I’m back home I’ve carried on using them, because the plants seem to like getting a steady supply of water instead of a soaking every evening then drying out all day. I just refill the wine bottles every week and all is well. Great product!
Fantastic for the summe
I’ve ended up buying two lots of these and recommending them for all my family. They are really easy to push into the soil and any sort of bottle goes on the top. They have been a bit of a lifesaver for my plants, especially as I travel a bit and it means that I know that they will have enough water for a couple of days. I highly recommend them, especially for when the days are getting hotter.
Excellent produc
I was a bit apprehensive that these would work but they do. Only downside is how many gin bottles I have had to get through. They work equally as well with wine bottles too! I shall definitely be buying more.
Great product works well
Only certain bottles work, wine bottles are fine. Be careful, I broke one when I installed it, the necks are fragile. But great for watering plants while you’re on holiday!
Excelle
They really work and are easy to use. I bought them because we were going away for a few days. My plants were fine and now I use them so I don’t have to use the hose so much. Great product!
I bought these and the plastic drip tap spike type to compare. Clay is by far the more environmentally neutral option.
They were installed into raised beds in my polytunnel. After 2 days of warm weather each clay spike and wine bottle have lost 3 inches. The plastic ones were useless, dumping all the water within 2 hours.
They arrived well packaged in foam and small risk of breakages. For the money paid I consider them reasonable value.
Aesthetically they look quite stylish and have already raised comment and compliment.
The downside is that they are 2″ wide and 7″ long. This means they are unlikely to be suitable for plants indoors unless in very large pots. Using them with well established plants they might be difficult to push into the root system.
However their size does mean that if inserted when potting up they can be used with or without the wine bottle reservoir depending on plants requirements. Fortunately various friends have been happy to give me their empties as I don’t drink wine very often.
These are not suitable for heavy drinking plants but will supply a constant damp into the adjacent soil.
Use this for general watering on larger plants
So we have some huge palms and Monstera plants which take a fair bit to water. However, putting too much water in one go causes it to run straight through and not soak in.
This helps to slowly water the plant and allow the earth to absorb some, but not too much.
I used several in each pot, making watering so much more controlled.
I would highly recommend these.
Really helped us while we went on holidays. In spite of very sturdy packaging, one or two broke during shipping.
After a few months a couple more broke while in the ground – I assume it was due to temperature changes and moisture as I installed some in the vegetable patch in April.
Overall, it is a system that works but the individual items will not last more than a year or two.
On the upside, the broken items are a lovely addition to my orchid compost and work well at the bottom of a large pot to prevent waterlogging. So whatever breaks is easy to repurpose in many ways.
Really work but fragile
Went away during the hottest week of the year so far and these kept all my outside pots going.. three were broken when they arrived, luckily I didn’t need them.
I was looking fir something simple that would keep my patio plants at least alive while away for a fortnight and that didn’t require too Much expense or difficulty setting up.
I soaked the stakes for a couple of hours and then put them in pario tubs which had been well watered. I also added a thick layer of mulch up to neck of stake and added filled wine bottles
15 days later and it had been fairly sunny weather with only a few showers (UK June/July temperatures) and the plants looked good and the soil was damp. These included bamboo, fig plants, olive bushes and honeysuckle, and Lavender. Admittedly these plants can take heat and drier conditions but the bamboo without the stakes looked decidedly dried out
I then left them again for 6 days in our current heatwave and again the plants were fine and this time the bottles were nearly empty.
Very pleased, cam recommend if you need to leave plants while on holiday.
Plant feede
Whoever thought of this idea well done. I didn’t buy them to water the plants while I was away I brought them to stop me from overwatering the plants in general and they’re great. I don’t use the bottle method I simply use a watering can to fill them up and leave them to drain out over a period of a few days.
Work well - but fragile
One of them arrived broken in the box, despite plentiful packaging, so they’re defniitely fragile (would crack if used during a frost / left outside for eg), however they worked perfectly as described and kept my plants alive for a week.
I keep getting my wife gifts that go unused or, more often, used and then put aside. She was sceptical of these automatic plant waterers but at least tried it. We now use it for all of the outside planters and places where it is easy to forget to water. On exceptionally hot days, the plants ‘drink’ more than others. Quite funny in some ways. It feels like real-time feedback on water consumption. Very effecient use of water. AND, it finally uses those wine bottles that otherwise get thrown into the recycling bin. I would highly recommend it.
I bought this product so I could go away for 10 days and leave my large balcony pots with water.
The funnels really do work!
I’ve now replaced the various wine bottles I used the first time with colourless long necked bottles , so they’re not noticeable. Plastic ones work well too
2 of my smaller pots were a bit waterlogged when we returned. – I’d say that was my only quibble with the product.
It works but it puts out so little water…
I did a timelapse of how the water seeps out of the terracotta.
It is really fragile too. Broke one when I was shoving it into the pot. My fault as I was quite brute with it.
