Product Description
The HydroSpike is a simple, effective method for keeping your plants watered, without your constant attention. It works by automatically siphoning water from a nearby container when the surrounding soil becomes dryer than the ceramic spike. The spike replenishes the moisture at the same rate your plant draws it from the soil, thereby maintaining an optimum moisture level. Perfect for keeping plants watered while on vacation, or when you are too busy to tend your plants.

This review is from: Hydrospike Hs-300 3-pack Worry-free Automatic Watering Kit
I half expected these things not to work and out plants would be dead after returning from a holiday vacation. Surprisingly, as simple as these are they worked great. Plants kept with constant moisture. Now we leave them in all the time and just refill the vases. Someone should make a tank that can clip on the outside of the pot. Only note is that you need to fill the ceramic plug completely full with water and immerse the tubes to ensure the capillary action works to pull water into the spike.

I'll start by saying, I'm not much of a greenthumb. One of my friends gave me a little bonsai tree as a housewarming gift a year or so ago, and it has since turned a nice crisp yellow because I put the plant in a room I don't often frequent, and kept forgetting to water it. Since then, I've started using these hydrospikes to keep my plants watered without constantly having to remember when I last watered them. Works really well! I keep a cup of water hidden behind the pot, and I fill the cup maybe once every couple weeks. It definitely makes it easier to keep your plants nice and green.Every once in a while, I've managed to leave the plant unattended for too long and it sucks the entire cup dry -- at which point, it's easy to get it going again, just refill the spike with water up to the brim to get the water flowing again. All in all, I think it's a good product, works well, and seems to be cheaper than some of the equivalents. Will be buying some more if I get some more plants!

This review is from: Hydrospike Hs-300 3-pack Worry-free Automatic Watering Kit
Bought a set of these for my wife's office plants. So far they work exactly as advertised and the plants are healthy and happy. I used one in a six inch pot and two in a 12 inch and that seems adequate.For folks that are having trouble with over watering, make sure that the water jar is BELOW the bottom tip of the watering stake. (which is mentioned in the instructions but the illustration is vague) If it is level or above the water stake will draw too much water.
