Q: How do plant watering spikes work?
These water spikes use a stepped, tapered adapter that seals snugly into any plastic drink bottle up to 2 liters, letting water seep steadily through small holes into the plant's root zone.
XC488 - Adjustable-Flow Drip Spike, each
This drip spike offers a simple way to keep plants consistently watered for up to 2 weeks at a time. The adjustable flow control lets you set the release rate based on the plant’s needs.
Simply use any plastic drink bottle (up to 2 liters) to hold the water supply; the stepped, tapered adapter forms a snug seal. Water seeps steadily through small holes below the soil surface, flowing to the root zone where it is most needed.
An easy way to care for plants while you’re on vacation or ensure new transplants don’t dry out. Minimum 5 1/2" soil depth required if used in pots or planters.
Made in Italy from 70% recycled plastic.

Yes, when used with a filled 2 L bottle and set to the right flow rate, one spike will keep a plant watered for up to 2 weeks while you are away.
Push the spike into the soil to at least 5 1/2" deep, then attach a filled plastic bottle to the tapered adapter and adjust the flow control to set the release rate.
It depends on the size of plastic bottle you choose and the flow rate you set. A single 2 L bottle can keep a plant watered for up to 2 weeks, depending on the flow setting and the plant's needs.
