Terracotta irrigation spikes are a great solution for thirsty plants and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Simply submerge the spikes in water for 1-2 hours to absorb moisture. Soaking them will allow water to move more freely when in use. Make a hole in the soil, big enough for the spike and gently push it down. Fill a long neck bottle (a wine bottle works well) with water and insert it, upside down, into the spike.
Due to terracotta's porous nature, it allows air and water to move freely. The water will be released gradually into the surrounding soil, preventing your plants from drying out. Especially useful during a heatwave or if you're planning a trip.
Please note: As these irrigation spikes are made from natural terracotta, colour variations may occur. The product you receive may appear lighter in tone than the images shown. This is a natural characteristic of the material and does not affect performance or quality.

These are great and easy to plant close to plants that i want to keep hydrated... I now have 15 of them dotted in the garden as well as having a few Ollas. Really helped last year that was hot so bought these 5 for new additions to the garden...
Left the spikes in my greenhouse plants while we were away for four days and they worked brilliantly despite the hot weather. I'm so pleased with them and importantly, no plastic is involved in the purchase, packaging and product. Win win!
Love these spikes to keep plants watered through this dry spring. They are small enough to not really be noticed in amongst plants but hold enough water to keep things going.
The first one I tried broke . I followed the instructions and soaked it then made a hole for it but as I put the bottle in it broke in two
Only had them a few days but they seem to be working. Hope they will help when we go on holiday.
