Blumat Classic Self-Watering Stakes - Prevents Overwatering and Underwatering for Healthy Growth While You are Away - Ideal for Indoor Plant Watering, 3 Pack, wo Adapter

I have been the black fingers pope of my plants. My initial problems were either over watering causing root rot or forgetting to water them. So, I bought one of those self-watering tubes to put into the plant ground thinking that would eliminate both problems. NOT! This only gave me two new problems. 1. I had no idea how much water was still in a glass-colored watering container stake. These stakes held less than a quarter cup of water which meant it required them to frequently be filled again. 2. It still did not resolve the issue of remembering when I needed to water my plants. Whereas as the BLUMAT watering stakes resolved all my issues. I no longer have any overing watering problems that cause root rot nor dry soil by forgetting to water them. The resolution came with BLUMAT’s simple watering system. Now I know all my plants get the right amount of water from my thirsty indoor peppermint to my not so thirsty aloe that only needs water every now and then. This means no more root rot. No more forgetting to water my plants. All I need to do is place a small glass beside my plants. All that is needed to do is to take the tube that runs from the stake and put it in the glass of water that you keep beside your plants. Your plants suck up the amount of water it needs from the glass using the tube from the spike. VIOLA, you have retired from your plants’ black finger pope’s position. Then relax and watch your plant flourish. There are four other things I do: 1. PUT A COFFEE TABLE COASTER under each glass to prevent water damage to wherever I place the glass of water. 2. PUT A LARGER GLASS TO ENSURE EACH PLANT gets watered properly where I have one area where I have three plants. 3. ADDED A WEEKLY REMINDER ON MY PHONE TO CHECK THE GLASSES OF WATER. It is easy to see how much water is needed since the BLUMAT’s watering system allows me to see how much water is in every glass at a glance that is aside the plants. 4. I KNOW HOW MUCH LIQUID FERTILIZER I NEED TO PUT INTO EACH GLASS according to MIRACLE GROWS’ plant growth liquid directions. Some prefer using their power. I prefer using the liquid in a pump as it makes it easier for me to determine how much to feed every plant as all it takes is to add the number of pumps, I need to push according to MIRACLE GROWS’. Best of luck using your BLUMAT watering system DOC

What a beautiful product! I just love a product with an elegant and simple design that gets the job done. No gimmicks here, this just works. I had to leave a Peace Lily for a month, and I considered putting it up for adoption. But then I discovered the Blumat watering system, and got it a day before leaving. Guess what? it's healthier and happier than it has ever been when I try and water it, and even grew 2 beautiful flowers while I was away. So now, even though I could hand water, I intend to leave it to the Blumat watering system. Definitely recommend this excellent product!

I purchased these in advance of a vacation away from our home in sunny Arizona, and I am glad I did. We were away for five nights and my plants did great. This is now my standard way to water this plant, whether or not I am home. I am glad I ordered these early so that I could fiddle with the water levels in the water source and get it just right for each plant. These work, as long as you follow instructions. Some adjustments may be needed after your initial setup. Here are the steps: 1) Soak the spikes, tubes, and lids in water for a day. Soak all of the pieces, not just the spikes. 2) Dig a hole in your soil the size of the spike using a garden tool or spoon. Do NOT use the spike itself as it is made of fired clay and is relatively fragile. 3) Put your soaked spike in the soil. 4) Put the connected tube and the end of the tube in a water container such as a vase. 5) Thoroughly water your plant. 6) To increase water flow from spikes, raise the water vessel higher by putting it on a pedestal, box, or whatever. I didn't feel like water was getting to my plants at first so I raised the water vessel higher and the result was that the water overflowed out of the planter dish. I readjusted the levels on various plants to avoid that and saw that the plant was getting watered without the added elevation. Your mileage may vary. It makes sense to set these up a few days or a week before you need it to be working. Voila! It works.

I bought these with the best of hope since I would be going away on vacation for a week and have many many plants that I love dearly. I set up the system a few days before I left on two plants I knew needed watering to see if the system would pull water into them. It worked perfectly for the plants, they actually used all the water in the container I had the water set in. I was super jazzed so I setup my other plants the day before I departed with their irrigation lines, watered them all before I left and prayed that they would be ok. Plot twist, I got stuck on vacation due to a hurricane and ended up getting back home 4 days after I was supposed to so I was sure I would walk into half dead wilted plants. To my surprise I walked into lush greenery(see pics), I only lost 1 leaf on a fiddle leaf fig which I suspect was going to drop anyways. Some of the water containers I left were dry because the lines pulled in the water needed. The system works perfectly and is easy to setup just follow instructions. For my very large plants and trees I used two plugs and a gallon water bottle as a water container, for my small plants I used flower vases and had multiple plants pulling from the vase. I hope this helps anyone on the fence on whether to buy these watering stakes.

Perfect device to keep your plants alive without over- under watering. Worked every time I left on a vacation, just make sure the water level is not above the plant pot and works like a charm. I tried other brands but Blumat is the one never failed me. Recommend

Love it! Just make sure you set it up properly. I feel some of the negative reviews are due to improper setup. It did a great job keeping the soil damp without water logging my plant. Overall my mini rosebush looks super happy after returning from a month away! So much so that I decided to leave it in after I returned. It is also pretty easy to set up. Some tips are play with the reservoir placement and buy in advance so you have time to do so if it’s for a going away trip. I originally had the water reservoir placed higher than my plant and the blumat too close to the edge of the pot, which completely flooded it. I reset it and found the sweet spot was about level with my plant with the blumat moved closer to the center of the pot. Make sure you watch a tutorial on how to set it up and adjust according to your plants needs.:)

Blumat Classic Automatic Plant Watering Stakes are AMAZING!!! I received them, followed the directions, my plants have never been happier. Here are my tips as per directions and reviews…. 1) Make sure you try them for at least 2 weeks before your planned vacation to make sure they are set up correctly. 2) make sure to lightly sand entire (pottery) surface of stakes 3) soak stakes and tops (attached to tubes) in a container for 1 hour 4) leaving both pieces in the container with water, make sure the stakes are filled with water (while you are holding it under the water) and place cap on and off several times until all the air has been released and there are no more air bubbles coming out of the end of tube. Watch carefully for this while all parts are submerged. 5) after watering your plants the “traditional” way, place stake into soil gently (without disrupting plant roots). Depending on the size of your plant, you might need additional stakes. 6) place the end of tube into container with water (depending on how long you are gone, the container should be large enough to hold a sufficient amount of water). ***after set up, you should notice water decreasing from the container. Keep in mind, if your soil was wet initially, your plant will require less water from the stakes. Once the soil is no longer wet from the “traditional” watering, you will notice your plant “drinking daily” from the stakes. If you see that one is not working, remove from soil, rinse, sand the stake again, soak, place cover on and off again several times (while your holding both pieces under water) until no bubbles come out of the tube anymore. Then place the stake in your soil and try again. The first time I used these for my plants (out of town for 5 weeks) I put all my plants into my bathroom, just in case the system did not Work properly. I wanted to make it easier for my neighbour to water everything in case it was no successful. (I had someone stop by weekly to make sure everything was ok). I also bought large buckets from Home Depot (approx. $3 each) so the plants were sure to have enough water. It worked perfectly!!!! My buckets were large enough, that my neighbour never had to add extra water. The plants “took what they needed”. When I returned home, my plants looked green and so happy. Actually better than “traditional” watering. I took them out of the bathroom and placed them all back where they belonged throughout my house. I was so happy with the results, I’ve decided to permanently “water” my plants with the stakes. Much easier and the plants love it! Last 4 pictures are plants in their permanent locations with stakes set up. I check water levels and add as necessary. Super easy!! It’s a little time consuming to set up initially, but well worth it!!! Plants will ❤️ You and you will save time in the long run!!! It’s been a month since I’ve returned and my plants are thriving and sooo happy!!! HIGHLY recommend! Read other reviews for tips!!! I have a lot of plants so I ordered 2 sets.

Son muy prácticos y funcionan muy bie

Funktioniert tatsächlich, habe es über mehrere Wochen getestet. Allerdings für meinen Anwendungsfall nicht praktikabel, da ich eine ganze Fensterbank mit vielen Pflanzen versorgt werden muss. Außerdem ist es meist nicht möglich die Teile in einen bewachsenen Blumentopf einzubringen, wenn das Wurzelwerk schon alt ist.

Geschenk. Den Blumen, die zuvor ein wirklich hartes Leben zwischen Trocken und sehr nass hatten, geht es nun gut. Sie wachsen und gedeihen, sind gesund. Wird in der Wohnung und auf dem Balkon angewendet. Sehr wertvoll waren die Blumaten, als durch Krankheit die Blumen wochenlang allein bleiben mussten. Diesmal klappte es auch mit der freundlichen Nachbarin, da es nur noch darum ging, ab und zu mal die Wasserbehälter aufzufüllen.
