Orimerc 1/5 inch 30 feet self watering wick

Perfect wicks for potted plants. So far they are working well.

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 is nice thick wicking cord. Just be mindful that it can pull a large amount of water if you are looking to water over a long period of time. Make sure that the plant is higher so Gravity helps prevent a slow the flow rate of water. Also tie knots into the string to help with reducing water flow otherwise it will drain at approximately almost 1inch every 12 hours.

A little thicker than expected but still works great in my self water pots! Would definitely recommend to anyone making there own!

This is will be great your plants will love you for the bottom watering I will take pictures I haven't used soil I found out that using coco coir or Eco earth which is a reptile habitat substrate type but it is still good for using it as a soil it is much better and very lightweight and not heavy unlike soil is it is very dense and never fully dries out but if you do this you need to do this slowly because it will shock your plants if you have fungus Gnats which are a real bitch to get rid of but you have animals and can't use neem oil or any other chemicals this process is safer and safer for all your pets I don't care what what anyone else says it will work with all plants flowers ect you must put your plants with no soil in some type of mason jar but make sure you get all the old soil out that it is fine if you you can't is long as it is mostly gone by rinsing it off once you do this fill the mason jar just above the top of the roots it will not hut your your plants and or indoor plants you may have to put them In a big narrow pot just enough room for the roots to fit in it or the wide mouth mason jars and put the bigger plants with bigger roots and wait a couple weeks to do these transfers I know it may seem long but the longer you wait the more chances you can get the old soil out from in-between the roots and then put the eco and coco coir now they do come in bricks Evo has 4 big bricks you can get that at the pet store innthecreptike habait area you will end up using most of it you need to let the eco and coco coir dry out completely for this to work it will give your plants time to relax and to get rid of like I said the old soil and along with the containmanted soil you need to use regular water from your hose or a water bottles and wholilecyiu are waiting you can get a sqewer for kabobs and you can take one of them and get in between the roots and push that old nasty soil out use with clean water to rinse as you doing that whatever you do please do not use anything from a soft water system that takes salt it will kill your plants but you need to let your plants adjest in clear mason jars something stable for the plants so you can see what is going on and don’t be scared to add water just enough to cover the roots so you can drown the fungus gnats also clean the water daily or every couple days I know it is a process but this is egatvit will take to get rid of the fungus gnats and white flies and anything else yiu hit going on you can get your entire plant wet and just get a very soft cloth and wipe tge leave off top and underneath very well where the but the mainly where the infestation started which are the roots and then keep doing this process it can take up to a couple of weeks to even a month but I let mine take a long time I waited 2 months it took me that long because I was giving them time to spread out to get rid of the old soil the eco and coco coir make sure it is covered with a good mesh screan almost that kind of mesh for when you are cooking to keep stuff from splattering out to make sure no bugs get in it while it is drying out unless you got a room that it can go in indoors that will be fine aswell it will take awhile but these are the process we got to do to save our plants I really do need to make me a youtube channel so I can give more advice on plant care but I had the worst infestation and now they are gone no more fungus Gnats DO NOT EVER BUY SOIL FUNGUS GNATS are already in it only because its a breading ground and it is constantly wet they love Wet environments

I got these to water cyclamen from the bottom and they work perfectly. The flowerpot, which I also bought on Amazon, has holes in the bottom so that you can thread the wicks right through it and then bring them up just below the roots of the plant. You then put water in the saucer that goes beneath the pot and, voila, a continuous source of water for the plants. These 1/5 inch wicks are just right and do a great job. One tip: start with extra length on the wick so that you can easily find it inside the potting soil, and so the bottom of the wick doesn't slip through one of the holes and get lost inside the flowerpot. Then, when you have the wick perfectly positioned, snip off the excess length on either end. It makes sense to leave enough of the wick to curl around in the saucer so that it will easily be able to absorb water.

I bought this for my semi-hydro plant setups, and it worked exactly the way I needed it to. The rope wicks water consistently, is easy to cut and position, and has held up well so far. It’s a simple product but really effective if you’re doing passive watering or self-wicking systems for houseplants. I’d gladly repurchase it.

J'adore... Simple, efficace, fiable, incassable, pas besoin d'énergie, et pas cher en plus

This self-watering wick cord truly works —easy to set up but just as easy to get wrong without proper preparation. If you’re new to using self-watering wicks, I highly recommend dedicating at least three days to understanding how it works and adjusting it to suit your needs. Reading the instructions carefully is crucial. I ordered a thick cord, and as a thoughtful bonus, the package included a thinner cord, which turned out to be extremely helpful for my setup. The effectiveness of the wick largely depends on your environment and how closely you follow the instructions. In my case, living in the hot and slightly humid climate of Australia (30–36°C), I found that the wick delivered water too quickly for my small plant, which only requires 120 ml per week. To address this, I experimented with the included thinner cord. Here’s what worked for me: I tested the wicking process by transferring water between two containers rather than directly watering my plant. By gradually adding ***tight*** knots to the cord (ensuring the knots remained above water), I managed to slow the water flow to an ideal rate. Once I was satisfied, I replaced the receiving container with my plant pot. If the water transfer rate is too slow without any knots and you want to deliver water faster then you may need to use a thicker cord or multiple cords simultaneously. Testing your setup thoroughly before using it with real plants—especially if you’re preparing for a holiday—is essential. Although I was tempted to deduct a star for the tricky initial setup, I realised that this would be unfair. Much like a great guitar in the hands of a beginner, the potential of this product shines only when you take the time to learn how to use it effectively. For me, this cord is a 5 stars.

Funciona perfectamente, el suministro de agua es constante, la tierra siempre está mojada. Lo he puesto en macetas que necesitan agua a diario y genial. Lo recomiendo.
