FAQs
What size bottles are compatible?
The watering spikes are compatible with bottles that have a 25mm neck diameter. Always measure your bottles to ensure a proper fit.
How do I adjust the water flow rate?
Unscrew the tap at the base of the spike to achieve the desired flow rate. The more you unscrew, the faster the water will flow.
How long will the water last?
Water duration depends on the bottle size, the plant's water needs, and the flow rate. Monitor your plants and adjust accordingly.
Can I use these spikes with fertilizer?
Yes, you can use diluted liquid fertilizer in the water bottle. However, be mindful of any potential residue buildup and clean the spikes regularly.
How do I clean the watering spikes?
Rinse the spikes with clean water periodically. If there's any blockage, gently clean the tap and the spike openings.
How many spikes do I need?
The number of spikes needed depends on the size and water requirements of your plants. One spike per plant is a good starting point.
What if my bottles don't fit?
Ensure your bottles have a 25mm neck diameter. If your bottles are a different size, these spikes may not be compatible.
Troubleshooting
Water is not flowing.
Check the tap to ensure it's open, and make sure the air intake hole is not blocked. Check for any blockages in the spike itself. Ensure the bottle is not airtight.
Water is flowing too quickly.
Reduce the opening of the tap to slow the flow. Use a smaller bottle or a different soil type.
Water is leaking from the connection.
Tighten the connection between the spike and the bottle. Ensure the cap is properly sealed.
