vensovo 8 Pack Terracotta Watering Spikes - Automatic Self Watering Stakes, Plant Watering Devices for Wine Bottles Recycled Bottles, Clay Plant Garden Waterers for Vacation

These spikes are pretty great! Was going for a terracotta pot but found these spikes and had to give them a try.. just started growing borage(bee bush), strawberries, cherry tomatoes and holy basil in large pots and im just starting to see the growth. While the surrounding dirt looks super dry the baby plants look super green. I always had trouble with my plants at this stage they would already be yellowing because of watering issues. Not this time everything is so green and lush cant wait to see when plants are full grown. Also i dont know how, but i noticed one of my bottle setups had mosquito larvae swimming around. Was super shocked and still wondering how they got in. I actually quarantined the flower pot with that spike and leaving it alone for now to see if these critters find a way out. I dont think they will, but just in case i have the pot in a small growing tent waiting to see what happens

Two were broken, even tho they were packed well! I think they will be good in flower pots but I needed all of them 😢

Two of the items broken when I received them

these seem ok but 2 of the items were broken.

Very breakable. Not sturdy.

This terra-cotta spike works great! Did just like video said and plants look great. No more overwatering...when water disappears from wine bottle, just refill and start over!

Bought these to use on some planters while traveling. Tested it out on our indoor meyer lemon tree. Soaked the spike overnight, filled a 750ml wine bottle with water, and took about 1.5-2 weeks for the whole bottle to empty. Kept soil nice and moist in the area near the spike. Its a 5' tree so the pot is very large, probably would have been better to use 2 spikes simultaneously to keep all the soil consistently moist. Overall, happy with the purchase.

Came quickly and did the trick!
