These water spikes really work and are very cheap. Next water your plant container until the soil is completely moist. Finally screw the cone on the bottle and insert the bottle cone end down into the soil. As the soil dries water will slowly be drawn from the bottle.

Beside above, how do you make a water spike for plants? Simply fill a used 1 or 2 liter plastic bottle with tap water, screw the spike onto the bottle and push the spike into the ground next to the plant you want to water. Water runs through small holes in the spike and flows directly to the root zone where it is most needed.

Correspondingly, how do automatic watering spikes work?

Self-watering plant spikes are teardrop-shaped glass devices that make watering while you are away simple. All you must do is fill the bulbs of the devices with water and insert the pointed end into your soil. The bulbs work on the concept of drip irrigation in that they release water as the soil dries.

How can I water my plants while on vacation for a month?

Fill up your sink or bathtub with a few inches of water and lay a towel inside to protect against scratches. Rest your potted plants in the sink and leave them while you're gone. The soil will draw water up to the roots, keeping the plant hydrated for up to one week.
