NEED A “WATERMATE”?
Self Watering “WaterMate”!
I love the name “WATERMATE”! This is ANOTHER gift idea for a plant lover needing a holiday !
So today the forecast top is 38’C (just over 100’F) so a cooler day than yesterday but those plant sure do get thirsty in such weather.

Aussies do like using the word mate so I guess it’s no surprise this product is called a Water Mate, Maaaate !

Let me know your impressions of this idea for a “WATERMATE “! I think it could easily be replicated with a wick, a bottle and some tubing with a probe to push the wick into the dirt. However this WATERMATE does all that for you in this design.
*This is a new Australian product but is there a US or other equivalent? If so add a link eg Amazon, thanks 🙏

2” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
I love this idea
That’s so cool! Looks like a cologne bottle. Definitely need to look into them!
@Idplantthat Yes, I think it's a clever idea so no doubt it will be copied and readily available on eg temu etc
I like it for small pots! But I doubt it’s going to do@much if anything on a larger one? Unless it distributes the water across the pot. Not in one place
But small is what it’s needed for most anyway I’d think
Take a bottle of water of any size. And poke a hoke in the side at the very bottom the one at the top. Then sit it on your plants soil. It will drip water your plant while away. You can also slightly loosen the cap. I’ve never done this myself but I’ve seen it done 🤷‍♂️
Gotta make small holes like with ice pick or small nail
I’ve also seen a few posts praising predatory mites. They eat other mites not plants. You can buy em online. I’ve never used em myself though. Kind of new I think
