Doesn’t it look like the dog at our plant? Craziness going on in the HydroSpike world.
Thing is…that we don’t have a dog! Just gardeners! Yikes! haha
Using HydroSpike is convenient, but when you want to increase your supply of water, “daisy chain” a series of water containers with some tubing and use the siphon principle to increase the supply of water to your plants. One of our customers also suggests to use standard tubing, for example 1/4 inch diameter when connecting the water containers. Thanks for great feedback HydroSpike customers! You guys are the best!
We love this plant that has cascading waxy leaves, so shiny! HydroSpike is great when we go on vacation or don’t have time to water the plants. The plant is an indoor plant, and it sits on an outdoor patio set…that we moved indoors! The wood patio set was too nice of a set to leave outside to rot. Why not use it as indoor furniture?!
Ficus benjamina, commonly known as the Weeping Fig, Benjamin’s Fig, or the Ficus Tree and often sold in stores as just a “Ficus”, is a species of fig tree, native to south and southeast Asia and Australia. We love our ficus, and have a massive tree that is 30+ years in our living room. This is our smaller plant, and is getting its daily drink from HydroSpike. The trees can grow large, so when on vacation, put in a few HydroSpikes, especially in warm weather. The tree will need the hydration if gone for a couple of weeks.
This plant, the lovely Shooting Star, in all its white splendor and glory cheers us up here at HydroSpike. This plant cannot be under harsh sunlight, and definitely needs watering in warmer weather. If you are busy, on vacation (or holiday), be sure to set up a HydroSpike system so you will come back to its beautiful blooms. It starts to bloom less towards the end of summer. For all you married men, the shooting star plant is a perfect gift to give to your wife…she is your shooting star.
We have a few corn stalks growing this summer. Planted from special seed that was *supposed* to be really tasty. However, this species didn’t do it for me! Although corn is so abundant, different varieties have special taste and nutrition. We’ll be trying more in future growing seasons.
The crazy twin of the crazy hair plant! They sit on our speakers and stay nicely hydrated with trusty plant waterer, HydroSpike. Does huge bulbs are starting to burst the pot!
We have a variety of plants around, but here is one in particular that I find interesting. The wax flower. Up close, it is waxy, and it looks like it could have been made from plastic with a furry finish. Cute as a button. Oh the wonders of nature!
Have a crazy hair plant?? We do. And, it loves the HydroSpike. The plant ‘hair’ conceals the HydroSpike system. Quite a beauty. Don’t leave this plant dry while on vacation. You will be sad when you come back.
HydroSpike’s very existence is all about addressing this crucial problem that gardeners and plant owners face. How to keep plants alive while we are away?? Especially in hot weather. Here is HydroSpike in action! This large leafed plant needs water, and it seems to be doing fine for 2 weeks at a time when we are gone…The plant is pretty large, which then needs multiple spikes.
One of our favorite water plants. We bring the water plant outdoors in the winter and bring back in the summer. This way when it would die in the cold weather, we don’t have to buy new ones in the summer!
HydroSpike is saying hello to the world with the start of our blog! Planting, Watering, Gardening! We will post pictures of HydroSpike in action and talk about all the fun and interesting happening on HydroSpike turf. We love talking about plant watering products and tips, and we also love gardening.
