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.
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!
Check out our first video production! Automatic Vacation Plant Watering with HydroSpike TM. Happy Plants & Happy Owners, a HydroSpike specialty 🙂 We also like to laugh, so hope you get a little chuckle out of our video. Hope to have more videos to share in the future. Keep up the vacationing, we got your plants covered!
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.
HydroSpikes can be set up with multiple plants to one reservoir. Here is a picture of one setup we have. Plants doing pretty well for weeks at a time when on vacation. You also can use an inverted flat garbage lid to place all your plants in it.
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!
