How to Use Plant Self Watering Spikes? Worth it?

[@nataneebarrett3180]

Thank you for this. I bought 20 of them and didn’t know how to make them work because there were no instructions so I didn’t know that the bottom of the bottle had to removed or I had to put an air hole in it.

[@honest1966]

This looks good. For large pots with numerous plants should more than one be used. I am wondering long it will last for a 2-week period.

[@moniquemonicat]

Thanks for showing the top can be cut off for easy refilling (instead of having to unscrew the bottle every time). I used your link in your description to place my order.

Glad I was able to help! Hope you like it! Thanks for the support!

[@joycezhu5849]

Thanks soooo much for showing, now I know how to set up my watering spikes for my plants.

[@Life_in_Shorts]

[@IsitWorthit1]

[@patriciaedwards22]

[@wandaalger6845]

Well explained. Now I know how to use it.

[@IsitWorthit1]

Glad I could help!

[@neilstevenson7518]

Good video. I didn’t get instructions with mine. Trying to figure out how fast to set the drip for a majesty palm as I’m going out of town for two weeks. Any suggestions?

[@IsitWorthit1]

Up to your own preference and what kind of plants you have.

[@SooSmokie]

Don't use these. They are crap. They do not work good enough to leave on vacation

[@elothmanilavandou3087]

thank you for the instructions

[@IsitWorthit1]

You are welcome !

[@kkyogish]

If the top of the bottle is cut, dust/particles may clog the drip in due course of time.

[@IsitWorthit1]

yeah :(

[@HIGHER7RUTH]

I would just make a hole That should work

[@kkyogish]

@@HIGHER7RUTH it doesn’t work. The size of the drop is proportional to the height of the water column above the drip. As water reduces the pressure of water decreases n the water stops dripping.

[@HIGHER7RUTH]

@@kkyogish i see that sucks

[@madmaxcol]

Thanks great help, good video.

[@IsitWorthit1]

Glad it helped

[@shaneomack5018]

I’m curious how it response in the outdoors. I live in Florida and it’s hot and humid all the time.

[@IsitWorthit1]

Maybe need more water? Since its hotter?

[@shaneomack5018]

Is It Worth It? I bought a similar unit and the drip had to be glued to the stem to slow the drip. Over all it did well

[@Ineedahandle75]

Hiw do you get them to start dripping. I adjust the valve but won't start dripping

[@shauntellethompson2402]

Mine won’t drip either

[@_GarethRossUK]

what is the tool used for?you dont have to cut the bottle its optional. where is tool supposed to be used? i see online text said top of bottle but doesnt that mean water escapes those holes? some say bottom of bottle i assume they mean top when kit setup so really bottom, is to release air presure problem?

[@IsitWorthit1]

yeah pretty much to make a hole to let air go thru when it goes down or else it will be stuck and the water wont come out, not the best design to be honest like you mentioned about spilling if there is hole.

[@louisferaca9290]

So basically u poke the holes on top of the bottle once it’s flipped .. 🤦‍♂️

[@judykarp1712]

I cut the top off of my bottle and all the water just ran out all over everthing and made a mess! So how does that work?

[@Tinfoiledhat]

Lmao wow use your brain. You cut the bottle while empty and just fill it 😂😂

[@92808588]

Thank you

[@djmadmike23]

what camera and setup do you have? This video looks great!

[@IsitWorthit1]

I use Canon g7x mark ii

[@ambolkar25]

Why don’t you show the bottle and how you cut and attach it!!

[@somozamaria]

Does this use 1 liter water bottles

[@IsitWorthit1]

You can use any water bottle to be honest, just gotta be able to balance with the spikes

[@estrellitaklaiber9621]

Can you use more than one spikes for bigger pots

[@ncartsyfartsycraftsandsuch]

perfect thanks

[@IsitWorthit1]

Welcome! Thanks for watching!
