Plant Nanny Wine Bottle Stake

The stakes are designed to fit most standard 750ml wine bottles. Simply fill the bottle with water, insert the stake into the soil, and invert the bottle into the stake opening.

Yes, they work well for indoor plants, but monitor the soil moisture initially. Because terracotta is porous, the rate of water release depends on the soil's dryness, so it is best to test them on a plant that prefers consistent moisture before using them on succulents or plants that need to dry out completely.

You should bury the terracotta portion of the stake deep enough into the soil so that it stands upright and stable once the bottle is attached. Ensure the soil is packed firmly around the stake to prevent it from tipping over.

It is recommended to remove the stakes before the first frost. If water remains inside the stake or bottle during freezing temperatures, the expansion can cause the terracotta to crack.

Refill frequency depends on your plant's water needs, the ambient temperature, and the humidity levels. In most cases, a standard wine bottle will provide water for several days to a week, but you should check the water level regularly until you understand the specific consumption rate of your plant.
