Orimerc 1/4 inch 50 feet self watering wick

This is a fantastic method for hydrating your plants without overwatering. Just make sure the material makes contact with the roots; then, place water in a saucer or container, ideally keeping the water level as close as possible to the roots so that the water can flow easily and keep both the roots and the soil moist. This works well for plants that are already established in the pots. However, if you are just about to planter in a pot or transplant, it is even easier: simply lay the strip over the roots, thread it through the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot, and cover everything with your potting soil. And just like that—problem solved! It is very easy to use, incredibly convenient, and—best of all—extremely affordable. You get a generous amount of material—enough for plenty of plants. I am absolutely delighted with my purchase and highly recommend it!

If you’re looking at this products, it’s because, like me, you have a few plant babies, some of which are either too meaningful, too large or let’s face it, too EXPENSIVE to die! Listennnnnnn!!!! I buy a ton on Amazon and I rarely leave reviews, but hear me when I say, this simple “string” is THE TRUTH! I have TWO Thai Monsteras, an Anthirium Michelle, A Ring of Fire, an African Milk etc., ie plants that I just can’t buy again without spending $$$. Of course I also have many others (approx 30) that call me mum. I needed to travel last minute for two weeks and it was paining me to think that my babies would suffer while I’m away. I searched and searched for options and the reviews on some of these contraptions (globes, water bottle slow drip terra cotta bla bla) gave me anxiety. And then, and thennnnn friends, I saw this. This STRING! The educator in me was curious and doubtful and hopeful all at once! I bought it. And after two weeks the only thing I needed to replace was my table cloth and its plastic cover! Dead plant where?!? Dry plant where?!? It’s honestly the SIMPLEST thing! For me, I put the majority of my plants on dining table and filled up 3 large containers with water. I arranged them to my best thoughts, though when I do this again I will tweak a bit. I measured enough string to have it lay flat in the bottom of the container and be able to make a “c” in the pot, that way I could ensure the bulk of the dirt was moist. I then pre soaked each string, arranged it in the pot and left the other part in the container with water. The string functions well and retains water quickly. And for two whooooole weeks this was enough for my babies! DRY PLANT WHERE?!? DEAD PLANT WHERE?!?! For the most part, soil was moist, not wet but in the smaller plants/containers, you could tell they were watered. I did come back to one container dry but I think it’s because I designated too many plants to it as the other two still had water left. I plan to reuse, hopefully they can get more than one use. I really wish I had taken photos, but hey, take this old 40something at her word. This STRING is all you need. Well buckets of water too 🙃

Perfect wicks for potted plants. So far they are working well.

A little thicker than expected but still works great in my self water pots! Would definitely recommend to anyone making there own!

It worked very well!

Kept my plant alive while I was out of town

Works as it should. Used this in a concrete pour combined with brick that was designed to water internally and come out the flashing at the bottom, but we could not incorporate the flashing. So I used tubes on the inside of the poor to match up with the brick and I wrapped the tubes With this wicking material and let the wick hang out the bottom where flashing would’ve normally been placed. It works perfectly. Now during the change in seasons, the concrete will work similarly to the 6 x 12 brick that the house was built with in the 1950s and the moisture can get outside. You don’t have to leave a Tail. You just cut flush and don’t mortar over the end. This would be very useful for watering plants or getting moisture out of a place that you have trouble accessing like a void in a boat. You could drill a small hole put this inside and let the wick pull the moisture out to the larger atmosphere. This could help prevent or slow rotting that happens inside voids on boats. Small boats, of course.

Very good and exellent quality

J'adore... Simple, efficace, fiable, incassable, pas besoin d'énergie, et pas cher en plus

This self-watering wick cord truly works —easy to set up but just as easy to get wrong without proper preparation. If you’re new to using self-watering wicks, I highly recommend dedicating at least three days to understanding how it works and adjusting it to suit your needs. Reading the instructions carefully is crucial. I ordered a thick cord, and as a thoughtful bonus, the package included a thinner cord, which turned out to be extremely helpful for my setup. The effectiveness of the wick largely depends on your environment and how closely you follow the instructions. In my case, living in the hot and slightly humid climate of Australia (30–36°C), I found that the wick delivered water too quickly for my small plant, which only requires 120 ml per week. To address this, I experimented with the included thinner cord. Here’s what worked for me: I tested the wicking process by transferring water between two containers rather than directly watering my plant. By gradually adding ***tight*** knots to the cord (ensuring the knots remained above water), I managed to slow the water flow to an ideal rate. Once I was satisfied, I replaced the receiving container with my plant pot. If the water transfer rate is too slow without any knots and you want to deliver water faster then you may need to use a thicker cord or multiple cords simultaneously. Testing your setup thoroughly before using it with real plants—especially if you’re preparing for a holiday—is essential. Although I was tempted to deduct a star for the tricky initial setup, I realised that this would be unfair. Much like a great guitar in the hands of a beginner, the potential of this product shines only when you take the time to learn how to use it effectively. For me, this cord is a 5 stars.

Funciona perfectamente, el suministro de agua es constante, la tierra siempre está mojada. Lo he puesto en macetas que necesitan agua a diario y genial. Lo recomiendo.
