Works brilliantly with just the terracotta spike and a cheap wine bottle... no need for the green adapter
Best watering device for larger plants by a long mile but don't bother with the green plastic adapter or using plastic bottles ( there are two large puddles on my floor that tell you how well that went) use the terracotta spike with a wine bottle which has a screw cap not a cork ( the grooves on the neck of the screw cap bottle help it lock in to the spike when you twist it in to place and stop the water from just gushing out). Once I figured that out I watered my plants set up the device then left for my chilli plants on 15 day holiday... on return my plants were fine and well watered and a few had fruited!

These are quite big so fantastic for larger house plants
These are quite big so fantastic for larger house plants, a little too large for smaller window pots though. They do work though and I'm really pleased with them, can you do a smaller version as well please? :)

But it is so easy to just lift the bottle and leave the terra ...
after years of searching - I finally have something that works for the bigger plants. I was surprised that there was no hole at the point of the terra cotta - I checked it in the sink - and the terra cotta outside gets wet quickly - so no bottle emptying overnight. In fact - I put it in a pot where the (drooping) plant needed watering - and overnight it didn't pull more than 250 ml of water - and my plant was all perked up. So with the normal watering routine - and this a back-up (in Greece and with temps lately at 42-43C - and water sometimes in short supply - this will save the day. I did post a note on one comment - if you don't be careful about a white washer - the water can then come up from the terra cotta. the other hint is the terra cotta has to be completely covered by dirt (otherwise it will dry out with the air). But it is so easy to just lift the bottle and leave the terra cotta in the dirt. And - the 1 1/2 liter soda bottles actually screw on very snug - for years I have had some spikes that one bottle would work on one - but not on another spike - and the problem of the thin plastic bottlechanging shape is gone. But someone else mentioned - PLEASE A SMALLER VERSION FOR SMALLER POTS OF FLOWERS!

There's a nack to them
There's a nack to them, and it ain't easy. Like another reviewer, when I tried, the bottle just emptied all over the patio. My partner worked it out, though: he said you should fill the terracotta spike with water first? Bit fiddly for me, but he's worked it out, so he's in charge of them now!

Complete waste of time and money.
These do not work. The adapter fits on to the bottle and then just sits inside the terracotta... The water simply floods through the gap. I have the ones that fit wine bottles, and they are great and work fine. These are a complete waste of money.

Ingenious and very useful for keeping small planters or pots from drying out between watering
Ingenious and very useful! Keeps the soil in my balcony planters moist between watering and particularly useful when I'm away for a few days in preventing everything from wilting. You do need to ensure the terracotta stake is buried fully in recently watered soil and is full of water itself before inserting the bottle. Good enough product that I have recommended it to friends and family,

Good quality product.
Works well and kept my plants ticking over when I couldn't be there to water them. Doesn't work well with all plastic bottles but now I have found which screw on nicely it works well for me.

Doesn't last long
It can be tricky to set them up, as the bottle has to be angled just right. When we went away for a week, we returned to dry half-dead plants.

Bonjour,J'en ai acheté un lot de 2 packs de 4, soit 8.Rapidement devant leur efficacité j'en ai repris 8 de plus. J'utilise des bouteilles plastiques vertes ainsi cela se fond mieux dans le décor voir ça passe inaperçu au milieu des grandes plantes. J'adore les plantes et j'en ai vraiment beaucoup chez moi. Je m'en occupe régulièrement et pourtant il m'arrivait que l'une ou l'autre souffre de trop ou pas assez d'eau. Depuis que j'utilise ce système, c'est tellement pratique et je vois réellement l'effet sur les plantes qui n'ont jamais soif et jamais les pieds dans l'eau. Sur les photos, mon plant de caoutchouc, mes lys et un plant de manguier. Des manguiers j'en ai loupé quelques uns qui ont finit par dépérir, c'est le premier qui tient aussi longtemps et se porte comme un charme :).

Gut!
Ich schreibe ja selten Kundenrezensionen, aber diesesmal schreibe ich es gerne.Nach einer minderguten Erfahrung mit Plastik-Bewässerungsspitzen, bei denen das Wasser nur so heraussprudelte, habe ich nun die Ton-Bewässerungskegel bestellt. Sie wurden binnen 2 Tagen geliefert.Meine ursprünglich dafür vorgesehenen 1,5l Flaschen passten leider nicht auf den Adapter.Also habe ich sie mit 1l-PET-Flaschen aus dem Pfand-Wasserkasten (no Name) bestückt. Die Flaschen sind nicht superfest, sie geben auf Druck schon ordentlich nach.Ich habe einen 80x30cm breiten, ca. 30ch hohen Kübel mit 3 Tomatenpflanzen (mittlerweile 1m hoch) sowie mehrere Pflanztöpfe unterschiedlicher Größe auf meinem Balkon stehen. In die Tomaten habe ich 3 Bewässerungsflaschen, in alle anderen Gefäße je 1 Flasche gesteckt.Zunächst habe ich die Erde auch nochmal mit der Gießkanne gut bewässert. Die Tonkegel habe ich dann, so weit ich konnte, in die Erde gedrückt. Sobald ich die Flaschen umgestülpt und in die Kegel gesetzt hatte, floß erst mal ein guter Schluck weg, dann beruhigte sich das Ganze und durch das Vakuum kam der Durchfluß erst einmal zum Stillstand. Meine Befürchtung war, dass das Wasser weiterhin zu schnell durchfliesst. Nachdem ich es nun 4 Tage beobachtet habe, konnte ich feststellen, dass trotz heißem Wetters erst ca. 1/3 der Befüllung aus den Flaschen weggeflossen ist. Die Pflanzen sehen immer noch munter aus!Demnach sollte das System ca. 1 Woche halten, was mich sehr begeistert. Denn so muß meine Nachbarin in meinem 14tägigen Urlaub nur 1-2 mal nach dem rechten schauen. Einzig und allein die wackelige Angelegenheit - also dass die Flaschen nicht im Tonkegel fest verankert werden können, stört mich. Mein Balkon liegt aber recht windgeschützt. Ich habe de Flaschen auch noch, so gut es ging, mit Tomatendraht etwas befestigt, und halt geschaut, dass sie absolut senkrecht stehen.Ich bedanke mich recht herzlich für dieses gute System und kann es nur weiterempfehlen!

Sistema per irrigazione medio
Le pipette sono molto grandi, non è adatto ad essere inserito in vasi singoli o piccoli dopo l'impianto, andrebbe in caso messo contestualmente la travaso viste le grosse dimensioni. il funzionamento è ottimo, ma dalla descrizione prodotto no ne avevo capito le dimensioni, che sono in effetti eccessive per vasi piccoli con una sola pianta. Spedizione senza problemi di sorta.

Pas top
Difficile de trouver une bouteille d'eau (francaise) qui s'adapte à la partie a visser. L'eau se déverse dans le cône en terre cuite. Je ne suis pas très convaincue par cet achat.
