I installed these same spikes in my raised tomato bed ten days ago. It’s been warm, sunny, and DRY since, and I’ve never had such lush plants, really remarkable. I only need to top them once a week. I do recommend them, keeping in mind they are a bit fragile, and should be treated with some care.

@abigailkwashi8807 Год назад

You're a very good teacher. I wish I could show you what happened to the plants in my office after a 3 week holiday😢😢😢 they were 'watered' but grossly underwatered. A Jade, a Spider Plant, an Aglaonema and a Golden Pothos. I took them home and watered them over the weekend, they have recovered. Thank God! So these terracota stakes are great! I'll be on the lookout for them at the garden centre or use your code. God bless you!!

@romanas8209 Год назад

I have been using rounded ollas with the stake for about 2 years now, for my 2 calatheas, Stromanthe Magic Star and Ctenathe Lubbersiana (all of them are living in terracotta pots) and it takes so much worries away! Only thing it takes is to check the level of water in the olla! 🌿Plants are just so so happy and lush! I will definitely continue to use them and I recommend to try this method out for the plants which prefer evenly moist soil🤗

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

Cool thanks for sharing your experience

@Greensky02 Год назад

For me personally: aesthetics are one of my top values when it comes to house plants. Having a wine bottle sticking out of your soil just doesn't mesh well with me in that regard. Still a fine method for keeping your plants healthy while you're away on a trip as you've mentioned. If only I travelled anywhere ever!

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

The bottle is option. You’d just need to cover the stake to stop evaporation

@madwhitehare3635 Год назад

I always top the soil on my pots with dried lichen and moss from the local trees, pretty pebbles or bits of driftwood from the beach and hardwood chips. I hate crusty old soil showing through.

@dellacalfee Год назад

Perhaps you can find a more artful bottle, perhaps clear with an interesting shape, or a colored glass or painted with design. Of course, once there are enough leaves, it will be mostly hidden.

@peeblekitty5780 10 месяцев назад

Could you maybe use one of those plastic/glass watering orbs inside the terracotta spike for a more aesthetic solution?

@Drinkyoghurt 3 месяца назад

I have a different type of these. I got counterfeit Blumat stakes which have a little hose attached to it. You put this hose in a bottle or bucket or whatever and they'll suck water from there into the terracotta stakes. This way I only have one source of water to worry about/monitor and I can quickly top it up. Definite game changer, but sometimes they do run dry quickly!

@hoangtran4986 Год назад

I also put these on top of my moss pole to create a self watering moss pole. I find it keep the moss perfect moist and prevent it to get too dry. I am just not sure if it would still work when the pole is too tall

@prismatica8416 Год назад

Those things are also great at fixing overwatering plants, if you stick the dowel itself in the soil without the bottle. The terracotta sucks up the moisture and allows it to more easily dry out.

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

@joyscott374 Год назад

I use I similar thing in my garden. Using proress terracotta pots sunk into soil. Haven't had to water my veg patch so far & if Rd been pretty dry here in the east. They are commonly known as olla. Pronounce oi ya. Lots on line about these. Great idea they work.

@AammaK Год назад

I bought these for vacation watering a couple weeks ago. They worked phenomenally when I was away from home. I only stuck the spikes as far as I coul by just digging an opening to the soil without hurting the roots too much. Therefore they are a bit higher than I would like, but they worked well nontheless. I might put a few permanently to the soil once I do repotiing. They were a bit more expensive in my local nursery compared to online, but I was in a rush. The only problem I have with them is that the watering is a bit localized to one spot more than the rest of the pot, but that's okay when it's mainly for vacation and some water is better than them drying out. I actually find the bottle reservoir quite pretty, especially if it's a decorative bottle of your favorite wine. You can always remove the bottle when you're home and watering regularly, because obviously you can inser a spike in a pot but only use it when you're away. A round rock works as a cover too. I really want to buy a proper Ollas, but you don't really find them where I live.

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

@Peleski 2 месяца назад

A lot of plant labels say "allow soil to dry out between waterings", so I don't really get whether these will prevent that. I suppose they're fine for ferns and jungle plants.

Good morning from NY, Mr. Richard! Fantastic tip indeed, and a great video to start my day! I received my first two bottles of API stress coat yesterday after watching your last video (1,000,000 thank you’s for that tip too!) … This morning, I was trying to figure out which of my plants needed water and stressing a bit because I couldn’t find my water meter (I miss placed it again, lol). I was stressing because I literally just beheaded another succulent yesterday due to overwatering. Oddly, its pot partner four inches over (same succulent) was just fine. I will be checking to see what sizes I can get these terra-cotta stakes in.

@Yupppi Год назад

I had a question pop up from watching this. If the water is constantly wicked to the soil for weeks and it doesn't dry out in between, does it not cause the same issues as watering too often? Is the natural moistness of soil low enough to get good oxygenation and not start rotting? I'm comparing this in my head to when I got underwatering pot with a small deeper section for wicking from the reservoir, and the soil stayed wet for weeks and I grew concerned if it's gonna start suffering in the roots for that. Does the terracotta spike resist the wicking and slow it down to not saturate the soil like say underwatering channel would?

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

The wicking slows as the soil gets wet. The soil never get waterlogged which is what kills the roots

@timdaalderop4875 Год назад

@SheffielsMadePlants I've used these for a while but now suffer from an invasion of fungus gnats. I think it's because a circle of topsoil around the terracotta is wet continuously, providing them with a nice place for their eggs and larvae. What are your thoughts on this issue? Putting white dry sand on the soil doesn't help against these gnats either, it gets wet too.

@mariemilycraig Год назад

I've been following advice I found on another channel, and I use 'neem tea' to water my houseplants, and the gnats are gone!! What you need is neem cake powder, and then put a spoonful of that in a couple of litres of water and let it steep for an hour or so until it's a nice brown colour, not too dark, not too light, and then water your plants with that! It works like a charm. It will take two or three waterings for most of the gnats to be gone, so it's not instant, but it does get rid of them. Also, neem is of course quite 'fragrant' 😅 but the odour is not really noticeable once you've watered the plants - you have to really stick your nose into the pot to smell it. It's totally worth it to not battle the pesky gnats anymore, and 1 kg of the neem will last a very long time.

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

You’ve got some invasive gnats in your area! If that’s the case then stop using them. I’ve not noticed this myself but will keep an eye out for sure. Mosquito bits, diatomaceous earth or nematodes are your best best

@kjalight Год назад

But if you have 10-20-100 plants and if many of them aren’t huge enough for a bottle of water sticking from them, there’s no point doing this to any plants because you’ll be forced to ask someone to come and water your plants anyway 🤔

Is copper in the water bad for plants? I've seen that copper pipe is a way to kill mosquito larvae so I'm thinking of adding some to my water butt.

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

I’m not sure to be honest. Too much copper is bad but not sure about small amounts

@mattt1974UK Год назад

@@SheffieldMadePlants thinking about it the majority of household tap water comes through copper pipes so it can't be deadly for plants.

Youre a cool youtuber because you often mention other channels and cite where you hear things from. Very rare to see that!

Thank you 😊. Gotta shout out where the info comes from!

Can a 16 ounce Diet Coke bottle work with this and do you top the bottles up?

@SheffieldMadePlants 3 месяца назад

The neck might not be long enough. Yep refill when it empties

@sandras940 Год назад

Most of my pots are too small. If I had a garden, I would plant ollas all over the place, I think they are so beautiful

@SheffieldMadePlants 11 месяцев назад

If I lived somewhere dry I’d do the same

What happens if you don’t use the wine bottle and just top up the terracotta spike every now and then?

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

That’s fine as long you cover the stake with something to stop evaporation

Hello, there is also blumat systems who are greater.

@lauraelle3637 Год назад

Hello from Rome!! I've been using the Blumat cones too and I'm pretty happy with them. I use them when going on vacation and my plants seem to be disappointed when I return home like "hey you back so soon?" 😊🌿

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

Think I know what you mean. Are they similar but plastic?

@kortikal1 Год назад

@@SheffieldMadePlants Hey, it's plastic and ceramic (i guess)

@lauraelle3637 Год назад

@@kortikal1yes, terracotta cones with a plastic cap and a rubber hose attached to it. You dip the other end into a water container and that's all
