SYNDICATE Plant Pal Hydration Stake

The stakes are made of porous ceramic, which allows water to seep through the material only when the surrounding soil begins to dry out. This creates a passive, self-regulating system that stops automatically once the soil moisture reaches the stake's saturation point.

You can use most standard glass bottles, such as wine or soda bottles, as long as the neck fits securely into the stake's opening. Using recycled glass bottles is a great way to repurpose household waste while keeping your plants hydrated.

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

They work best in standard, well-draining potting mixes. If your soil is extremely dense or clay-heavy, the moisture transfer may be slower, so it is a good idea to monitor your plant's reaction during the first few days of use.

You should insert the stake deep enough into the soil so that the ceramic portion is fully submerged, ideally close to the root ball. Ensure the soil is firmly packed around the stake to create good contact for consistent moisture transfer.
