Works as it should. Used this in a concrete pour combined with brick that was designed to water internally and come out the flashing at the bottom, but we could not incorporate the flashing. So I used tubes on the inside of the poor to match up with the brick and I wrapped the tubes With this wicking material and let the wick hang out the bottom where flashing would’ve normally been placed. It works perfectly. Now during the change in seasons, the concrete will work similarly to the 6 x 12 brick that the house was built with in the 1950s and the moisture can get outside. You don’t have to leave a Tail. You just cut flush and don’t mortar over the end. This would be very useful for watering plants or getting moisture out of a place that you have trouble accessing like a void in a boat. You could drill a small hole put this inside and let the wick pull the moisture out to the larger atmosphere. This could help prevent or slow rotting that happens inside voids on boats. Small boats, of course.

I would love if the customers that wrote negative reviews could see my comment. Many if not all of you were doing something wrong. In most all cases your rope dried out because your watering container was too tall. Water can only travel up the wick about seven inches. So if your water level dropped below 7 inches from where the rope touches the water and the top of the water container then it would stop wicking. The absolute best way to use wicking rope is to push it up into the plant from the bottom. Or put it in the soil while you are first initially planting to make it easier. Then place a watering tray underneath for the other end of the rope to soak in but elevate the plant so it is not sitting in the water. The plant will only drink what it needs. It really is fool proof as I personally have had great results. The instructions that come with the rope show this example at the top of their page. Good luck!!!!!!

Hands down the best wick I’ve found. I tested a piece of nylon rope from the home improvement store, another brand of wicking rope from Amazon, and this one. I took equal lengths, and placed one end of each in the same container of water with the other ends in separate cups.This one out performed them all by a wide margin. I haven’t tried them in plants yet, but I’m sure they will work out wonderfully.

Good basic way to keep plants moist. Instructions clear and through. Best used when ample space to space cording properly.

The media could not be loaded. If you’re looking at this products, it’s because, like me, you have a few plant babies, some of which are either too meaningful, too large or let’s face it, too EXPENSIVE to die! Listennnnnnn!!!! I buy a ton on Amazon and I rarely leave reviews, but hear me when I say, this simple “string” is THE TRUTH! I have TWO Thai Monsteras, an Anthirium Michelle, A Ring of Fire, an African Milk etc., ie plants that I just can’t buy again without spending $$$. Of course I also have many others (approx 30) that call me mum.I needed to travel last minute for two weeks and it was paining me to think that my babies would suffer while I’m away. I searched and searched for options and the reviews on some of these contraptions (globes, water bottle slow drip terra cotta bla bla) gave me anxiety. And then, and thennnnn friends, I saw this. This STRING! The educator in me was curious and doubtful and hopeful all at once!I bought it.And after two weeks the only thing I needed to replace was my table cloth and its plastic cover! Dead plant where?!? Dry plant where?!?It’s honestly the SIMPLEST thing! For me, I put the majority of my plants on dining table and filled up 3 large containers with water. I arranged them to my best thoughts, though when I do this again I will tweak a bit. I measured enough string to have it lay flat in the bottom of the container and be able to make a “c” in the pot, that way I could ensure the bulk of the dirt was moist. I then pre soaked each string, arranged it in the pot and left the other part in the container with water. The string functions well and retains water quickly. And for two whooooole weeks this was enough for my babies!DRY PLANT WHERE?!? DEAD PLANT WHERE?!?!For the most part, soil was moist, not wet but in the smaller plants/containers, you could tell they were watered. I did come back to one container dry but I think it’s because I designated too many plants to it as the other two still had water left. I plan to reuse, hopefully they can get more than one use. I really wish I had taken photos, but hey, take this old 40something at her word. This STRING is all you need. Well buckets of water too 🙃

This stuff is super well made. I was blown away by the quality and they threw in a nice little bonus for me.Superfast shipping can't complain

Just what I needed works great for my plants

I tried using the wicks to water my cannabis plants while I was on vacation for 4 days. I came home and my plants were droopy, they were only about a foot tall so I figured the wicks would work. Unfortunately when I felt the wicks they were dry. I had three wicks in each plant container coming out of a five gallon water bottle. I might have had it set up wrong so it could have been my fault. I think if you put the water container above the plants it might work.
