Blumat Classic

The system uses a porous ceramic cone that acts as a moisture sensor. As the soil dries out, it creates a vacuum inside the cone, which pulls water through the attached tubing from your reservoir. Once the soil is sufficiently moist, the vacuum pressure equalizes and the flow stops automatically.

While the Blumat Classic XL is designed primarily for indoor use, it can be used outdoors in shaded or protected areas. However, because the system relies on gravity and specific soil moisture levels, direct sunlight and high heat can cause the water to evaporate too quickly for the system to keep up.

Yes, for the system to function correctly, the entire ceramic cone must be submerged in the soil. This ensures the sensor can accurately detect the moisture level of the root zone rather than just the surface.

You can adjust the hydration level by changing the height of your water reservoir relative to the stake. Placing the reservoir higher than the stake increases the flow pressure, while lowering it decreases the flow, allowing you to fine-tune the system to your specific plant's needs.

These stakes are best suited for medium to large pots. Because the spike length is 8.5 inches, they may be too deep for very shallow starter pots or small succulents, but they are excellent for larger houseplants that require consistent, deep watering.
