Review: Work great - After reading reviews I was worried that this product wouldn’t meet the needs I had for it. I had ordered about 4 years ago and they worked great. When i re-ordered more recently, I could see that the materials used to make the product had changed and as similar reviews said to my eye it seemed the materials were cheaper. However, I didn’t have the issue with water flow other reviews mentioned and after using on my plants for a month I have zero complaints for product effectiveness. The only disappointment is that they also slightly shortened the small hose that goes from water source to the clay stakes, so that somewhat limits the use. I’m hoping that despite the change in materials that these will still be as durable and last as long as the version I purchased several years ago which are still in use!
Review: Lifesaver if you're going on vacation - These watering stakes work well if you know how to troubleshoot them when they're not working. I used these for a 2 week vacation and my plants were healthier than ever when I came home. It does take some trial and error and patience before you can set it and forget it, but it's worth it! If you're planning to use these while vacationing, I recommend buying these about a month in advance so that you can experiment with them and know exactly how much water you'll need in the reservoir for the amount of days you'll be gone. I did quite a bit of research before deciding to purchase these. The pricier name brand ones likely work just as well as they all function the same way, through capillary action. There are various methods to prime these stakes, so that they work well. Here's my method: - Remove the cap from the stake - Unravel and stretch out the tubing so that it's as straight as you can get it, you don't want a pinched tube - Soak everything in warm to hot water for 15-30 min - I would stretch out the tubing again to ensure there aren't any pinched areas - Get rid of any air bubbles in the stake cup (With the stake cup still submerged under the bowl of water, I tap it under against the wall of the bowl). Keep the stake cup under water. Here's the trickiest part (you'll have to find your own method of doing this properly): - Fill the tube with water (make sure there are no air bubbles in the tubing) and cap it onto the stake cup while it is still submerged. You should see a squirt of water coming out the other end of the tube. - Your stake is ready to use. Try and prevent any air bubbles getting into the tube by quickly submerging the end of the tube in your water reservoir. Stick the stake end into your soil, ideally near the center of the plant. Keep it upright and not angled. Keep the water line of your water reservoir ideally 3-5 inches below the stake. You'll have to experiment. If your water level is higher than the stake, you will drown your plant. If it's too low, then the capillary action won't work. I typically draw with a dry-erase marker where the water line is on the reservoir and check back in an hour or two to see if the plant is drawing water in. If the reservoir water line increases or stays the same, then it's likely the water line is too high and you'll need to lower the reservoir and/or pour out some water OR it's likely your reservoir is too low. Always check that there is still water inside the stake cup (it can be tough to see). You can also combine multiple stakes into one water reservoir. I was able to combine 7 small to medium pots to use 1 water reservoir. This is just a basic version of my method. There are a few sites online that will guide you on how to use these. Methods are slightly different but the principle is the same. It requires a bit of effort and can be frustrating but I swear it's worth it once you get it working! Hope this helps!

### ⭐ Not reliable. Pay extra but buy the original
*by C***S on June 24, 2022*

I have some Blumat watering stakes and they are working very well for years. I'm going to travel next month and was looking for expanding those stakes and found those, much cheaper than the Blumat original ones. I know how it should work, but it didn't work. I vacuum sealed the stakes, closing the lid underwater after soaking the stakes, but they dry out. The original one has much better sealing to start. I even tried to seal it with seal tape (PTFE, or plumber's tape), and close the lid underwater but the stakes were out of water the next day. I'm returning and buying the original ones. It's expensive but reliable. Also, you don't lose your plant, which you invested so much time and care.
