Automatic Watering for Your House Plants

 

• The watering rate is set by the wicks, not by the planting medium, reservoir or hydrator

• The watering rate can be changed easily - without re-potting

• Once set up, watering your plants is simple - just refill the reservoir

• Reservoirs can be changed readily - just swap them, no fuss, no bother

• You can use a decorative reservoir daily, and a higher capacity one when away

• Watering your plants is automatic -> less water stress for your plants from lack of attention

• The reservoir is more stable than placement directly in the planting medium

• The water is spread out over a greater area by the wicks vs globes, terra cotta stakes or drippers used alone

• Hydrators can be placed anywhere within the pot & still provide more uniform watering

FAQ: How can I adjust the watering rate for my plants? Because water distribution is controlled by the wicks, the rate can be changed to accommodate the needs of the plant(s) by changing the number (or size) of the wicks. If water comes out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot, try removing one wick at a time. You can test this by pulling up a wick from the planting medium (easily done since the wicks are near the top surface of the soil), rinsing it off and stuffing it into the hydrator where it will no longer be in contact with the potting soil. If the watering rate is now more appropriate, you can remove that wick completely by untying it or cutting it off at the retainer or just leaving it in the hydrator.

If, on the other hand, the plant is not getting enough water, you can add a wick or substitute a larger wick. Polyester or acrylic yarn makes good wick material because they do not decay in the soil and come in a variety of thicknesses.
