Product Description
Self Watering Probes are a simple and effective way of watering your plants while you are on vacation. Just soak them in water for a couple of minutes to prepare the tips, then insert the probes into the soil of your potted plants and place the hose ends in a water reservoir nearby. The water will be slowly emitted through the ceramic cones, automatically watering your plants without the need to set timers or worry about electronic devices being turned on while you are away.
Made in Austria.

We’re snowbirds, splitting the year in half, and have always had to find someone to watch my wife’s plants.
This year we decided to try these spikes. We put a couple plants on them for about 2 months, with good results, so decided to see if they’d make it until our return in November. We got some 18 gallon totes for water reservoirs (netting about 14 gallons). The test plants were in 10″ pots with 2 spikes each and took about a gallon per month for both.
I’ll try to remember to update this review on our return, but we are expecting the same satisfactory results.
Well, we had one of our friends check on things last week (mid Sept) and all of our plants are doing wonderfully. They added water to the totes. This is about 4-1/2 months after leaving them. It seems that if there is enough water, this could be an indefinite solution. We are very impressed and have recommended them to several of our friends that have similar needs.

I purchased these probes to keep plants alive while I was away from home on a 2 1/2-week trip.
They worked perfectly on plants in 6″ pots. However, a plant in a 4″ pot was over-watered and died.
I am extremely pleased with the probes, and I am relieved that when I go on trips in the future I do not need to impose on a friend or family member to water my plants while I’m away.

These work so well all you have to do is put them 6 inches from one another and they do everything for you, and all u need is something that holds water i just got a big tupperware and have the end going into it filled with water and a chemical fertiliazer. Very good if your going away and even if your not you never have to water your plants agian with this its saved me so much time because i always forget.

I admit it. I’m a complete retard.
I keep forgetting to water my plants and they die on me.
Not anymore, thanks to these self-watering probes.
I place a 2L juice jug next to the plant, poke a hole in the cap, drop the tube in, and stick the probe into the roots. Viola! the plant is watered for better part of 2 weeks.
It’s much easier to remember to refil the jugs once every 2 weeks instead of everyday.
thanks to these probes, my plants are green and lucious!

I tried other automatic watering systems, including electric ones. This is the only one that reliably works, and you don’t need to plug it in.
