These devices are designed to fit most standard long-neck bottles, such as wine or glass soda bottles. Simply fill your chosen bottle with water, insert the clay spike into the soil, and invert the bottle into the spike's opening.

Yes, these are excellent for short-term travel. Depending on the size of the bottle you use as a reservoir and your plant's specific water needs, they can typically sustain moisture for several days to a week.

While they are primarily designed for indoor use, they can work outdoors in smaller pots. Keep in mind that evaporation rates are much higher outside, so you will likely need to refill the reservoir bottles more frequently than you would indoors.

It is highly recommended to soak the clay spikes in water for about 15 to 30 minutes before your first use. This saturates the porous material, ensuring the diffusion process starts immediately once placed in the soil.

You can monitor the water level in your reservoir bottle. If the water level is slowly dropping, the porous clay is successfully diffusing moisture into the soil. If the water level remains static for a long period, check that the soil isn't already oversaturated or that the spike isn't clogged.
