Plant Sitter

Comments about Plant Sitter:

I find that I need to figure out how to put a screen on the water holder as junk and leaves get in and cause problems.
I am going to try also to put fertiliser in it to see how that does

Comments about Plant Sitter:

The idea is good, but the spikes don't pick up enough water to keep the plants alive. The spike material is inconsistent and that could be part of the problem as some plants got more water than others. Possibly elevating the waterer will allow gravity to help, I haven't tried that yet. Over all, I would not get them again.

Went on vacation for 2 weeks, was skeptical that anything could keep my rather large planters of hibiscus alive for that long but I used the suggested amount of plant sitters for the size pot, inserted each plant sitters tubing into a gallon milk jug filled with water and when I came back the plants not only were alive but blooming! I think these plant sitters are great. . .

I purchased 3-packs of cones and used my own buckets for water. Two cones went into the large (12") planters and 1 in the 6" pots. Went on vacation for 10 days and when I came back all of my plants were alive and looked good! Since then, I have kept the cones in the plants and just keep filling the buckets of water. Some green slime seems to grow in the buckets but that does not seem to prevent the cones from working (I clean the buckets out every few weeks). Be sure to soak the cones then fill them up before you put them in the soil, and again if the water ever runs out.

Comments about Plant Sitter:

They work farily well for smaller pots. Several are required for med/large pots which makes them a bit pricy

Comments about Plant Sitter:

These are great. They keep my garden (in pots) alive when I take short trips.

Comments about Plant Sitter:

Both the water containers are still full after more than a week. I had high hopes for this product. But have had much more success with the Plant Nanny system.

Comments about Plant Sitter:

Having to be gone from home days at a time I need something easy to set up, usable without electricity, and uncomplicated. I put my water above the cones and suck the water into the tubes to insure a good flow. Kept my plants healthy and will be used frequently, even when I am home. I use two in big pots and have used with new plantings such as bare root rose bushes and seeds just getting started.

Comments about Plant Sitter:

Had to remember to refill the little cones when adding new water. Saved me from being "controlled" by my plants as to how I can come and go.

Comments about Plant Sitter:

These cones allow me to be gone for a couple weeks and I don't need to worry about my house plants. Also use them outside to keep pots watered -- extends the time between waterings (so my watering helpers love them too). I use empty milk and soda containers to hold the water.
