Self Watering Wick Cord, Sonku 80 Feet Nylon String Rope for Self-Watering Planter Pot DIY Automatic Watering Device System Potted Plant Sitter Auto Drip Irrigation Waterer

OK, this cord is just amazing and works just like they say. I recently went on a trip and had to provide water for a large multi-level planter that does not have a sprinkler, but does have a shallow pond on one level. I cut the lengths of cord, put one end down deep into the pond, then strung the cord along the soil, covered the cord with leaves, and poked each end down into the soil at the base of each plant. Temperatures were in the 80s with very little humidity while I was gone. I was worried my plants would be dead when I returned. They were thriving, moist, and I think I’ll just leave the cords in place for now. Wow! I am impressed! (The cords do work better when level or below the water source. I had some of them running uphill, which worked, but less effectively.)

Item as described.

I tested 3 Cords. This cord barely wicked in 12 hours. It is the one at the bottom. The other two were nylon cords i bought at my local hardware store and they they transported fluids very well. Very poor performance for "wicking" cord. for "wicking otedc

I needed to find an easy solution for my 10-day vacation. My plants are precious, as I'm sure yours are if you are reading this review. So, I tested these out for a couple of weeks prior to leaving for vacation and then implemented them while I was gone and they worked like a charm. Not one plant was dead when I came back home. The instructions are minimal and it comes with a plastic measuring cup, however the 80 feet can be easily cut to your plant's need or liking.Please Note: Each plant is different in terms of how much water is needed, so take the time to investigate beforehand and also understand that water evaporates, esp in the sun, so factor that in (common sense stuff).Five stars for Price and performance.

I have plenty of wick, but the plastic cup which I don’t need arrived broken.

That wick works well to water soil slowly and keep it watered. Although the measuring cup that comes with it cracks me up. It has liters and ml on the side but they are off from what they should be relatively. The main product works as advertised though!

This product will ensure the nutrients get to the plants. Perfect for Hydroponic gardening. Thought we would try hydroponics as it uses less real estate to grow our garden = last year was good but this year will be better with adding a wick to each basket. Fingers crossed!

This was the best solution for keeping my bigger outdoor flower pots watered during the hot, dry summer weeks I was away. It’s too thick for smaller pots or plants that need less water. It is VERY efficient!
