Plant Self-Watering Stakes for Indoor Outdoor Plants (4 Count) Terracotta Plant Watering Spikes for Recycled Wine Bottles to Water Plant at Home or on Vacation - Automatic Irrigation System for Plants

The items arrived in good condition and were in good shape. The first thing I did was to place them into my outdoor flower pots, filled wine bottles with water and then placed them into my garden. A day later, I received an email from the company stating exactly what I needed to do to get the best results from the product. A statement included in this information reads, "It is recommended that the stakes be immersed in water for at least 1 to 2 hours before use. ". In this way, the pores will be treated and the water will not seep out as fast. It is also imperative that you water your plant liberally before you install the Plant Watering Stake, in order to prevent water from leaking out of it I wrote the company and asked them to include the "imperative" information BEFORE I began using the product, so other customers will not have a reduced effectiveness of the product due to lack of information. I replied by e-mail to the company.

They do an excellent job of watering your plants. A Palo Verde Tree that was grown from seed taken from the Anza Borrego Desert was suffering from an unusual mold that is not found in its natural environment. The tree, now about three years old, was doomed to die if not re-watered. It is essential to maintain relatively dry soil on the surface in order to prevent damp conditions conducive to the growth of offending mold. The decision to water the tree with the hose turned out not to be a good idea. In addition to the stakes providing water, the tree now has an underground water supply The tree is flourishing and there is no mold. The root system is flushed out, like it would be in a desert. I probably would have been able to grow the tree much larger if I had known about this a year and a half ago. It is clear from the photograph that the tree is situated on a two-story hill It is a system for watering stakes. San Diego has hot weather conditions for approximately ten days during this time. Once the water bottles have been refilled, they are returned to the store.

After a friend gave me a potted petunia in full bloom, I was thrilled when I saw this product, and I ordered it a week before going away for two weeks. To keep the plant hydrated when I was going away for 2 weeks here in New England and it was going to be hot, I placed it on the shadier side of the house with 2 bottles of water in the bottom of the plant. After thinking about it for a while, I came back to it. The water in the bottles is still there, but the soil in the pot is dry and the flowers are all I am not sure if this plant will return. Despite my disappointment, I have no choice but to move on. My box of 4 contains a lot of weight, so if I have to send it back, the postage will probably be close to what I paid. It's a bummer.

As a result of building the planter at an angle, the pots was set at an angle, so I faced continuous water spillage whenever I watered. It would be fine and good if it watered the plant below, but I doubt that would happen very often. I'm coming to the rescue with watering stakes! In a jug of water, I dropped the pots into while I saturated the potting soil and made holes. I took them out of the box (they were in styrofoam), and soaked them while I made holes in the potting soil. After I managed to shovel/work/drop them in place, I compacted the soil firmly once again around them and topped them off once more. I'm very pleased with how well they are working. Before I watered the stake twice a day, my parsley craved water twice a day. Now it is happy with just one watering a day. Moreover, the pots are of the same color as the flowers on them. Although there might be mosquito larvae present since there will be standing water, I'll need to be on the lookout. Several of the items in this category are made by a number of different manufacturers, and I was unable to find the dimensions listed in any of the listings, only the package dimensions, so I'd estimate that a 7" in diameter and a 2 inch deep hole is needed. A 5" diameter hole should be installed flush with the ground. The pots on which my plants were already planted were too small (and had already had plants in them) for me to bury them as deep as they probably should have, It is only a problem that there is only a single size. There may be other people who would like a skinnier diameter to fit smaller pots but cannot get them in one size only. It's possible to flare out at the top and use it for goblets instead of being big enough to fit a bottle Directly pouring water into them is easy because they are shaped that way. It was easy to put together and very easy to install. I will definitely use them again! I plan on building a larger planter and I will make sure I put these in there in advance.

In this case, the system is not working as expected. To modify it, you will need to change Despite these efforts, they don't make a difference. A mistake has been made in the design. A bottle of water is filled with water and placed on one of the spikes so that it pulls in more water as the water seeps out of the spike. In theory, this would be a great idea, but the problem is that the design does not account for the fact that water will expand in the bottle unless air is added. If there is no air, a vacuum will result that will not allow more water to escape. all you do is let your plants become watered for a few days and then stop. To make this work, there has to be a hole in the bottle to let in air as the water is poured The procedure is impractical (unless you have the right tools) if you use glass bottles as recommended. there is a risk of breaking the ceramic. Our first attempt at putting a glass bottle in too quickly broke one.

I'll definitely be ordering My favorite part of these is the colors. There is a plant in my house with which I use this. A peace lily grows about 2 feet tall and about 3 feet wide in my front yard. In my plant there are all four spikes. Twelve-ounce bottles were used in all cases. The event usually lasts between 7- 10 days There are 10 days left in the fall season So far, it has been a very good spring. During summer I will update if I remember to do so. I did not have any damage to any of mine. Since these are fragile items, I expect they will be difficult to ship. I hope you don't have to deal with that. There is no doubt that these are worth checking out. I have created a happier environment for myself and my plant with The process of taking a vacation has become much easier. Depending on the length of the neck, a long, skinny bottle is required. It is unfortunate that not all bottles fit. There is a good amount of cover provided by the leaves.
