The process of water release:
As the soil dries, the ceramic cone delivers water gradually into the surrounding earth; Thereby create a vacuum within the cone which draws water from the nearby container of water; Once the soil is moistened enough, the watering stake will cease flowing water.
Operation:
1. Put the earthen part of the product into the water to soak for 15 minutes.
2. Prepare a water container filled with water (a narrow bottle such as mineral water bottle).
3. Make sure the pottery pieces filled with water, because the green plastic cover tightly with the pottery pieces.
4. Insert cone piece a little bit into the soil of plant.
5. Then it will automatically bring water into the other end of the container, and then water your plants.
Tips:
1. In order to water better, please keep the bottle watering device below the high end of the green plastic cover.
2. Please note the demand of each plants and pots size, and use the appropriate watering devices.
3. If it fails to water your plants, please repeat the above operation steps.
4. After months of using, the ceramic piece parts need to be cleaned so as not to affect the effect of continue-using.
Package includes:
10 x Plant watering devices

In 2019 I purchased Blumat brand watering stakes and have used them every year to keep my plants alive while wintering in Florida. This year I had a few extra plants so I ordered these HESTYA brand stakes because they were so cheap. In trying them out a week before leaving I was not impressed. With the Blumat stakes I use a 6 gallon bucket of water for every 3 stakes. Larger plants get two stakes & smaller plants get one. I set up the 3 new plants using 3 HESTYA stakes.First: The tubing would not stay uncoiled. When shipped it is wrapped around the stake which is also how the Blumat stakes are shipped. I tried everything to get the tubing uncoiled, even soaking them in very hot water. With the little ends and brass (?) insert furrels, the tubing just floated on top of the water. I tied a 1/2" steel nut on the 3 hoses and they still wouldn't uncoil very far below the surface of the water. The new plants were small so I put one stake in each.Second: After a couple of days I checked and there was water all over and the pots were flooded. luckily, I was using the JJGoo Repotting Mats purchased on Amazon under the pots and the spilled water was contained in them.Third: When first handling the tubing of the HESTYA stakes, the brass inserts (furrels?) and the plastic ends kept falling off. The ones in my older Blumat stakes are fastened tight on the tubing.By now I had run out of time and just refilled the buckets and left the house. I'm sure when I get back, the 3 new plants will be dead. I would not reccomend the HESTYA stakes from my experience.

These are amazing! I’ve used twice when traveling for over a month and in both cases my plants were in great shape! I sometimes think they’d be better off if I used this system all the time- the soil is more consistently wet than when I water then. They’re easy to use and durable, but it’s important to pay attention to the small white weighted piece that is on the end of the tube and goes into your water source as they come/fall off easily.

It worked very well, I soaked them for few hours, everything submersed, left vases a little below the bucket with water, assured the tips of the tubes were in the bottom in the water, kept earth humid for 7 days, one small vase even overflow.I have some from Germany before, and both worked in similar way, thus these are cheaper.

In theory, this product seemed like a terrific idea, and I was happy to give it a try. However, it entirely failed to work. Perhaps the instructions are not clear enough. Or perhaps air is leaking into the tube system, thereby causing the vacuum and suction to not work. I tried to get it to work several times, and had no luck.

I purchased these last minute before a two week holiday to water my 4 tomato plants but really wasn’t expecting them to work, but they did!upside, I used two stakes per tomato plant and two very large tubs of water and set up in the dark ahead of our flight. Came home to more than half the water drained from the tubs and the tomatoes growing well, not under or over watered.Downside, firstly is the long tubes need to be weighed so sit at bottom of the water bucket, they are coiled so tightly in packaging that they just want to curl up. Second I used one on a house plant indoors and it leaked water all over floor, just overwatered. Thirdly it was fiddly to get right, but it worked out well for the tomatoes.

Fácil instalación. Importante el dejar en remojo, llenar los conos, el depósito tiene que estar a mayor altura y que el extremo esté en el fondo del depósito (a veces hay que poner un peso para que se quede ahí.

I bought these just before heading out for a month long trip. That was the first issue, getting them too late to understand how to use them properly! You can not just add them to your plants and expect them to work the first time. Here are some tips on how to get them to work better.1) As other people have mentioned, pre-soak the stakes in water.2) Stock up and save your "empty" 1 gallon milk or bottled water containers.3) MOST important . . . pre-fill the water into the COILED LINE (as well as the stake)!If you just add water to the ceramic stake and put the tube/line into your water container . . . the entire line is still full of air. It will be simply pulling in air instead of water when the terracotta spike tried to get more water. This is why people complain that they don't work when they first use them.Once you uncoil the line got to your sink and have water run INTO the line until it comes out the other end. The pressure from your sink should push its way through the tube and get all the air out if it. Now you will have the line filled with water instead of air. This made a HUGE difference on getting this to work!This would be a 5 star product but the one thing that is still slightly annoying is how the line stays curled even after you un-package it from around the stake. It just loves to curl back up making it difficult to get it to stay at the bottom of your water container. Over time though it does straighten out. Would I buy this again,? Sure, now that I know how to better use them.

So you want to pay less than $20 for three? Ten for $17 that look exactly the same seems great. Some leak air so fail in a day or so. Sealing the head and the body with Seal All fixed. After a couple tries filling under water and using a syringe to get all the air out of the tube I got them to work. But, measuring the moisture at the plant indicates that these flow less water than the more expensive ones. Plants are not dying but not thriving as are the plants with the more expensive units. Generally a waste of money. Sorry

I was a little dubious on ordering these given the mixed reviews but was running out of time to figure out an inexpensive solution for some of my needier plants while I was out of town. The initial test run did not result in the plants absorbing any water. After doing some reading online (package comes without instructions) I figured out how to make them work. The instructions are listed in the product description but I had missed that initially so I will repeat here for reference.1. Soak the ceramic ends in water for 15-20 minutes before use.2. Remove caps and fill interior of stakes with water.3. Replace caps and stick spike in soil so that the ceramic part is fully submerged.4. Place tube end in a water source that is lower than the top of the spike.Follow these steps and you won't have to worry about your plants. Before I found the instructions in the listing, I had figured out all of the other steps aside from the soaking. They did not work without pre-soaking but once I pre-soaked they worked perfectly. They provided more water than I honestly thought they could. I used these in larger pots.
