Blumat Carrot Sensors for Automatic Watering - Set of 3

The watering cones do the job perfectly. I went away for a month, so I used them for a croton and a ficus that need watering once a week. The suitable amount of water was gone from the glass containers and the plants were watered and fine. Highly recommended. Just follow instructions on the packaging and obv water the plants before, otherwise all the water for being away will be gone too quickly. The soil must be saturated so cones replenish rather than fully water.

These are pricey but sooo good. It takes the fear out of watering plants. They've been in use for 4 months now and its hard to overstate how well they work. The plants suck up what water they need, when they need it (where probably changes as the temp. goes up and down in my living room.) A small living room tree I consistently over or under-watered has grown more in these past months than over the past several years, and it looks happy. the other plants are thriving as well.

used both indoors & out in my herbs, easy to set up, it kept them going while I was on a short break

Chilli success!Chilli plants are sensitive little things. But I’ve managed to get a bumper crop with these.No fear of over or under watering.The only comment I might make is that once your plants are in pots of 10l, these become pretty ineffectual. But for small plants they’re perfect.

Make sure to follow the detailed instructions in comments here - incl. soak in water beforehand for 20 mins, fill in while the carrots are still in water. Also make sure to test before going away

Very good idea but these are definitely not cacti specific contrary to the listing!

These work very well. I now leave them in place all the time - not just when I am away, just in case I forget to water. It means I have a bottle or jar next to my plant pots but there is less chance of me losing a precious plant. For larger plants you may need more than one. I recommend testing them before you go away for a while, so that you know if one will be enough for a pot.These are the first watering devices I have found that actually work, so I have bought more as my plant collection grows.

The 'carrots' seemed original and authentic, however they did not work as the soil around the plants remained dry and the water levels stayed constant. Perhaps I got a faulty set.
