Know before you buy
Terracotta is porous, which allows water to slowly seep through the walls of the spike and into the soil. This natural wicking process ensures your plant receives a consistent, steady supply of moisture rather than a sudden flood.
The duration depends on your plant's specific water needs, the ambient temperature, and the soil type. Generally, it provides enough water for a few days, making it a reliable companion for short trips or busy weeks.
The spike measures 5.5 inches in length and 2 inches at its widest point. It is best suited for medium-to-large pots where there is enough depth to accommodate the spike and enough surface area to avoid disturbing the plant's root system.
To keep the terracotta porous and functioning correctly, rinse the device with warm water periodically. If you notice mineral buildup, a soft brush and a mild vinegar solution can help clear the pores.
While the design adds a whimsical touch to your greenery, the shape also serves as a reservoir for the water. The neck of the kitty acts as the opening for easy refilling once the spike is already positioned in the soil.
