Product Information
Full details
The Fito Tomato and Chilli Drip Feeders are designed for home gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, precise feeding solution for their fruiting crops. By delivering a steady stream of nutrients directly to the root zone for up to 15 days, these feeders ensure consistent growth and improved harvest quality without the need for manual mixing. While they provide excellent convenience for busy plant owners or those going on short trips, they are intended for supplemental use and require monitoring to ensure the soil remains appropriately moist during the feeding cycle.

FAQs
Can I use this on other vegetables?
While formulated for tomatoes and chillies, the balanced nutrients are generally safe for many other potted fruiting or flowering plants.
Do I need to water the plant while the feeder is in use?
Yes, continue your normal watering routine as the feeder only provides nutrition, not sufficient hydration for the plant.
Is this safe for indoor plants?
Yes, it is perfectly safe for indoor use in pots or containers.
How do I know when the feeder is empty?
The transparent casing allows you to visually inspect the liquid level at any time.
What happens if the feeder clogs?
Remove the feeder, ensure the nozzle is clear of debris or soil particles, and re-insert it into a slightly different spot in the pot.
Troubleshooting
The liquid is not dripping into the soil.
Ensure the cap tip has been sufficiently clipped and that the soil is not too densely packed. Try slightly loosening the soil around the insertion point.
The feeder emptied too quickly.
This often occurs in very porous or dry soil. Ensure the soil is well-watered before insertion to regulate the flow rate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the feeder, first ensure the soil in your plant pot is moist. Carefully snip the tip of the applicator cap to allow for liquid flow. Invert the 32ml feeder and press the neck firmly into the soil at an angle of approximately 45 degrees, ensuring it is deep enough to remain stable. Keep the feeder away from direct contact with the stem to prevent potential root stress. These units are compatible with most standard potting mixes. For care, keep the feeders in a cool, dry place until use, and discard the empty plastic casing in your standard recycling bin according to local guidelines.
