It automatically waters house plants without the aid of a computer or electronic controls. The water supply is siphoned from any container by means of a thin hose and is emitted slowly through the ceramic cone. Your plants can stay in their normal locations and you can even add liquid fertilizer. It's ideal for watering your plants during vacations. When on holidays, you won't have to rely on forgetful friends or relatives to water your plants. Can also be used as a labor saver on a day-to-day basis.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Two month trial worked, we'll see about 6 months..........
We're snowbirds, splitting the year in half, and have always had to find someone to watch my wife's plants.
This year we decided to try these spikes. We put a couple plants on them for about 2 months, with good results, so decided to see if they'd make it until our return in November. We got some 18 gallon totes for water reservoirs (netting about 14 gallons). The test plants were in 10" pots with 2 spikes each and took about a gallon per month for both.
I'll try to remember to update this review on our return, but we are expecting the same satisfactory results.
Well, we had one of our friends check on things last week (mid Sept) and all of our plants are doing wonderfully. They added water to the totes. This is about 4-1/2 months after leaving them. It seems that if there is enough water, this could be an indefinite solution. We are very impressed and have recommended them to several of our friends that have similar needs.

Like it, don't love it
When they work, they're great. When they don't work, well...
First you can't use them in a clear container. Two you can't use them when your watering container is higher or on the same level as the plant. Three the cord is short and is very obvious.
IF you put the plant on a side table and the container on the floor, the cord can't reach the floor and there for can't reach the bottom of the container.
If you put the plant on the table and the water container on the table, the water will be too high and will over water your plant.
If you use a clear container it will grow algae and look gross, really, really quickly.
So dark container below the plant but not too far below the plant. Probe must be thoroughly soaked and full of water before inserting into plant. Check every couple of days to make sure that probe took (easy enough, check if probe is still full of water). Repeat process if probe didn't take.
Check regularly...
These Probes Did the Job
I purchased these probes to keep plants alive while I was away from home on a 2 1/2-week trip.
They worked perfectly on plants in 6" pots. However, a plant in a 4" pot was over-watered and died.
I am extremely pleased with the probes, and I am relieved that when I go on trips in the future I do not need to impose on a friend or family member to water my plants while I'm away.
