Product Description

The Plant Nanny is a specially-engineered ceramic stake that waters your plant easily and beneficially. Inserted into moist soil near the root base, the Nanny will release water as the soil begins to dry, so it won't under-water or over-water your plants. A recycled wine bottle serves as the water reservoir and adds a decorative flair to the plant. The water level can be seen through the glass so that you know when it is time to refill the bottle. Each set of four is attractively label-wrapped for gift-giving.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wine Bottle Plant Nanny is great so far!, July 16, 2008

By	Adam - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my first review after years of amazon purchases, so you know I must like it ;-) I tested one on its own filled with water in a glass in the sink, and they slowly release water. Then I tested it in a large pot with a big wine bottle--worked great-- 1/3 of the bottle went into the soil within 2 days, 1/2 within 4. I added a 2nd nanny & bottle to the same plant, and it slowed the flow. These also work well with soda/beer bottles that fit for smaller plants. I've started to leave them in the plants with water all of the time so they can get proper hydration in case I miss watering a day--seems to be working out well!

When I received them, 2 of the 12 were broken--rather than go through Amazon who would have to send out a full set of 12 again and could take some time, I called the manufacturer to see if they could help. They were very friendly & sent me 2 new ones with extra foam to keep them safe from shipping issues. They told me (7/14/2008) that the new shipment going to amazon will have better packing so this will not happen in the future. I got the new set of two within 2 days (east coast)--very good service!

Great concept--recycling wine bottles, watering plants over time works well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great idea - paint the bottles, May 5, 2009

By	Boudro ClassicsRoland Boudreaux "Happy Painter" (Rayne, LA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These work great for keeping your plants watered and you can really
jazz them up, especially in plants that do not bloom. Simply paint
each wine bottle with pretty flowers using enamel paints (paint the design upside down) and place in a cold oven, turn on to 325 degrees, bake for 30 minutes and let the oven cool completely before you open it - VERY IMPORTANT. The bottles are now pretty and will add color to your green pot plants as well as water. They make really neat gifts for friends and family.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wine Bottle Plant Nanny also good with Beer Bottles, April 15, 2009

By	Trojan LRey "trojanlrey" (rancho santa margarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This is a nifty addition to container plant care. I bought a 4-pack, then went back to buy 3 more.

It really works. Got about 4-7 days out of a full load. Depends on temperature. Hotter days means more rapid depletion. I was suspicious that perhaps evaporation might have something to do with it but the bottles form a fairly tight seal so moisture really has no place to go except through Plant Nanny.

I didn't have enough empty wine bottles but had plenty of long-neck beer bottles handy. Guess what, they fit very nicely. In fact, I prefer them for my hanging containers where excess weight is a concern.

Overall, I prefer clear bottles such as white wine and/or MGD Draft, Corona, or Sol beer. The sun glint makes it look more quaint than green or brown bottles. Plus it's easier to see remaining fluid levels from a distance.

The thing the directions don't make clear is whether to stick these all the way into the soil or if it's okay to only go half way. I've done both, but the shallow containers don't have as much room.

Also learned the hard way not to try and drive these into the soil with a bottle inserted. The bottles are harder than the ceramic and the neck of the Plant Nanny will crack. Poke a whole in the soil first with a branch then insert the Nanny by itself.

Just for kicks, I thought that maybe sticking a long neck in some containers without a Plant Nanny might work as well. I figured the principle would be the same as those water globes on TV. A long neck and a water reservoir should behave the same way.

Turns out you can use bottles by themselves. But you get a much faster depletion. Usually a few hours to a day vs multiple days. But in a pinch sometimes that is enough for a slow release that doesn't rapidly drain such as when applying with a hose.

No regrets though. I still trust the containers with Plant Nanny to do the job right.

I uploaded a couple of photos with different bottle types to give you an idea of the look. Nice product.
