Ficus Lyrata – Designer’s Plant

Architects love ficus lyrata because of it’s interesting shaped leaves.  We love our ficus lyrata and have it in our living room.  This plant has grown to be a sprawling tree.  It is 30+ years old.  A lot of sunlight and a vaulted ceiling give this plant big possibilities.  Ficus lyrata has beauty, structure, and point of interest.  One of HydroSpike’s favorites.

Dog Ate Our Plant

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

Increase Your Water Supply!

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!

Vacation Plant Watering

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.

Welcome to HydroSpike’s Blog!

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.  We plan to share photos of HydroSpikes in action, pictures of our garden, share plant discoveries, talk about our harvest yield, and talk about all things gardening and plants!  Join us on our journey!
