FAQs

How long does one drip feeder last?

Each drip feeder is designed to provide a slow-release supply of nutrients for up to 15 days.

Can I use this on non-flowering houseplants?

While primarily formulated for flowering houseplants, it may provide general nutrients. However, results are best guaranteed for flowering varieties.

What if my pot is larger than 20cm in diameter?

For pots larger than 20cm in diameter, it is recommended to use an additional drip feeder per pot to ensure adequate nutrient distribution.

Do I need to water the plant separately?

Yes, this drip feeder provides nutrients only. You still need to water your plant according to its normal watering schedule.

How do I dispose of the used drip feeder?

Once the feeder is empty and no longer releasing nutrients, simply remove it from the soil and discard it according to your local waste disposal guidelines.

Are these feeders reusable?

No, the drip feeders are designed for single use. Once the nutrient supply is depleted, they should be replaced.

What does 'ready to use' mean?

It means the product requires no preparation or mixing. You can use it directly from the packaging by simply cutting the end and inserting it into the soil.

Troubleshooting

Drip feeder not releasing liquid

Ensure the end of the drip feeder was cut properly and is not blocked. Check that the feeder is inserted correctly into the soil and that the soil is not overly compacted or waterlogged, which could impede flow.

Plant shows signs of nutrient deficiency or burn

Verify that the correct number of drip feeders is being used for the pot size. For pots over 20cm, an additional feeder may be needed. If symptoms persist, the plant may have specific needs not met by the standard formula or may be sensitive to nutrients.

Drip feeder empties too quickly

Soil type and moisture levels can affect the release rate. If the soil is very porous or kept exceptionally dry, the feeder might deplete faster than the estimated 15 days. Conversely, very wet soil might slow the release.
