Plant Nanny Stake

These stakes are designed to fit most standard recycled plastic water bottles. The included adapter helps ensure a secure fit for a wide range of bottle sizes, allowing you to repurpose what you already have on hand.

Once the bottle is inverted and inserted into the stake, you should see occasional air bubbles rising into the bottle. This indicates that water is being released into the soil as it dries, confirming the system is functioning.

Yes, these stakes are suitable for both indoor and outdoor containers. Keep in mind that outdoor plants in direct sun or high heat may deplete the water supply faster than indoor plants, so you will need to check the bottle levels more frequently.

The system is designed to be self-regulating. It releases water only as the soil dries out, which helps prevent overwatering and root rot, provided the plant is in a pot with proper drainage.

You should bury the terracotta or plastic stake deep enough so that the neck of the bottle is stable and upright. Ensure the stake is positioned close to the plant's root zone for the most effective moisture delivery.
