Come home to soil that is still moist and plants that are still green. A bottle-fed drip spike replaces the daily watering can run, and the yellow valve sets the flow for each pot.
Hands-free plant watering with a bottle-fed drip spike that keeps soil moist while you are away
- forgetting to water plants on vacation
- overwatering or underwatering potted plants
- time-consuming daily watering
- dry soil in hot weather
Keep your plants hydrated while you're away
Come home to soil that is still moist and leaves that are still green, instead of wilted pots and a guilty feeling.
One knob sets the drip for every pot
- A valve you control
The yellow knob sets how fast water leaves the bottle. Small pots get a slow trickle, bigger beds get a steadier flow. Turn it once, check the soil after a day, and you have the right setting for that pot.
- Bottle-neck fit
The cap screws onto a standard bottle neck, so the bottle you already have becomes a reservoir. Fill it, twist it on, and the spike does the rest. Check the seal before you leave, because a loose cap leaks at the neck.
Fill, insert, and walk away in minutes
- 1Fill the bottle
Fill a clean bottle with water and screw the adapter cap onto the neck until it sits firmly.
- 2Insert the spike
Push the tapered spike into the soil about halfway between the stem and the pot edge. Keep it clear of the stem so the roots stay undisturbed.
- 3Set the valve low
Turn the yellow knob to a low setting, then check the soil after one day. Raise the flow only if the soil is still drying out.

Questions and answers
The adapter cap is made for standard bottle necks, so it threads onto the most common bottle openings. Test one spike with your bottle first. A bottle with a thread that does not match will leak at the neck, so run a quick check before you leave.
Run time depends on pot size, room temperature and how far the valve is open, so no fixed number of days applies to every setup. Fill a bottle, set the valve low, and mark the water level after 24 hours. That reading gives you a real timeline for your plants and a reliable plan for your next trip.
Yes. The spike works in any soil deep enough to hold the tip, including windowsill pots, hanging baskets, patio containers and raised beds. Bigger beds take longer to soak, so check the first day and adjust the valve from there.
The set is budget-grade plastic and feels light in the hand. Rinse each spike after a trip, store them out of direct sun, and check the valve seal before each season. A full set costs less than replacing one favorite plant after a dry week away.
Tap water works for most houseplants. If your water is hard, rinse the spike under running water after each use so mineral buildup does not narrow the drip hole. A quick rinse keeps the flow steady from trip to trip.
