Blue Bird Self-Watering Ceramic and plastic spike

This little blue bird has a ceramic spike that will allow water to get drawn into the pot as your plant needs it. 

Terracotta/ceramics naturally allow plant roots to draw water to the surface as required, so your roots will not ever be over watered.

All my indoor plants (except the bog plants and terrariums)  have these spikes. Out doors i also have them in stag horn and elk horn wall hangings.

What I like is over winter some pots may take over a month to draw the water in (the slower seasons), and once spring kicks in the roots start drawing more water as required.

I particularly like being able to see the water level easily, and thus help monitor what's going on.

Key benefits

Aside from being a cute addition to your pot

• efficiently self waters based on plants needs
• Constantly supplies access to water without keeping soil moist
• super easy to use
• great if traveling ! I never worry about my plants

Specifications: 

16.5 cm tall, approx 7 cm wide (tail to beak)

holds approx 200ml water

Made from ceramic left raw / uncoated at spike, and plastic bird.

Usage note

Place the bird so its bottom is just at dirt (or mulch) level.

If there are rocks or very hard soil, make hole with a tool first so as not to break terracotta on inserting.

Make the spike hole once and even if you pull it out hole should remain, so if access is an issue take it out to fill. I use a small drinking bottle to go around and fill mine with pre-boiled water (to get out chemicals).

If using a liquid fertilizer i do not place in self-water devices. It stains them and I do not believe this is the most efficient for the plant.
