Ten Thousand Villages Plant Pet

Terracotta is porous, which allows water to slowly seep through the walls of the stake and into the soil. This natural wicking action ensures your plant receives consistent moisture based on the soil's dryness.

The duration depends on the plant's specific needs, the soil type, and the ambient temperature. Generally, this stake is designed to support your plants during short absences of a few days.

It works best with plants that prefer consistently moist soil. For succulents or cacti that require dry periods, you may want to remove the stake periodically to prevent overwatering.

To keep the terracotta porous, gently rinse the stake with warm water and a soft brush every few weeks. Avoid using harsh soaps, as the material can absorb chemicals that might harm your plants.

Yes, the stake is 5.5 inches long, so it requires a pot with enough depth to accommodate the cone securely. Ensure the soil is packed firmly around the base so the cat remains stable.
