XC475 - Plant Waterers, pr.
Using no power source, these European-made plant waterers automatically keep a potted plant’s soil at the optimum moisture level.
Just fill the 4" cone with water and push it into the soil, then place the 32" supply hose in a container of water. Water seeps slowly through the porous ceramic cone, wicking into the soil as it dries and creating a vacuum that draws more water through the supply hose as the plant needs it.
An effective way to keep indoor plants properly watered, it is a simple solution for taking care of houseplants while you're on vacation. Supplied as a pair that can be used to water two separate pots or one large planter.
Soak the ceramic cone in water for 15 minutes, fill it completely, replace the cap, then push it fully into the soil and submerge the hose's other end in a container of water, and the automatic plant waterer is ready to go.
A plant typically draws 8 to 32 fl oz of water a week depending on its size and the season, so make sure the receptacle holds enough for however long you'll be away.
Not entirely, an occasional top watering once a month is recommended to keep the whole system working properly.
Yes, adding a little liquid fertilizer to the water supply lets the same wicking action feed the plant along with watering it.
Once a year, soak the hose and cone, with the cap removed, in hot water for 5 minutes, then scrub the inside of the cone with a small brush and the outside with sandpaper.
A non-transparent receptacle keeps light out and helps prevent algae from building up in the water supply.
