Is this potentially a solution to leave your plant to themselves while going on vacation for some weeks?

Yes! I bought these for my outdoor container plants on my deck. The glass globe ones I use on the indoor plants would not hold enough water during the warmer late spring early summer months when gone for a week or two. These do the trick! I actually use them year round!

Oh yes! I have a second home in the mountains and got these for that purpose. When I'm not there for a while, I can use these. The bottle of water, however, does empty faster than I thought it would.

I have to fill mine up once a week. Any longer and they start to droop. They are wonderful.

Potentially, yes. Depends on lots of variables. This vessel will take a large bottle. The water from the bottle seeps into the soil and waters the plant that way. Not very sightly,though. One of mine came broken, but I glued it back together. They are made of the orange ceramic like the old pots.

Potentially yes. I'm trying it right now. I'm guessing it will depend on if your plant needs more than one one bottle of water during the period of time that you're gone. For the week I tried it before my trip it seem to work well, the only problem is if your plant needs to dry out between waterings. Best advice from me is not to wait until you're gone but try it while you around to observe. And these don't work well for small plants.

I think you could leave it there, but it is not good quality. Mine has a bare spot after the first day.

I will venture a guess, since I've not tried it. Yes, I'm thinking you could let soak...maybe even set them in the sun if you are camping. They are so good, tho', you should just buy a case and try it out before your trip. I swear the company did not put me up to this,�

Depends on your zone. Check the plants zone and your zone in udsa website. But I would assume that you wouldn't have any issue in any climate if you left it in a pot and only placed it outside during the sumner. Remember no direct sun light or at the least very little.

I wouldn't bother taking this on vacation. It is rather bulky with lots of hoses. The version I bought came with garden hose threads, just like I wanted for my type of faucet. I have mine hanging on the wall about the sink. Not attractive at all but it works. The hoses are pressure fitted and could be getting lose and leaking if handled a lot. For traveling I would look for another solution, there should be plenty of filters designed for that use, though it wouldn't be impossible to travel with this if you really want to, just as long as you have sufficient adapters to hook it up to the faucet. I hope this helped. Alfred. I wouldn't bother taking this on vacation. It is rather bulky with lots of hoses.

No. I have it on a shelf above my plant and it just doesn't release water consistently over time. You can't trust it with your plant. We came back after vaca and the plants were dead.

It would probably wash away if you just spread it on top. You might be able to work it in around the plants with a hand cultivator though.

I would not bring this, If you search amazon they have key chains with different types of repellents that are more suitable for travel and can possibly be put in a checked bag.

Yes. Just do the recommended dose. It will only have adverse effects on some live plants, but even then most recover shortly after

I wouldn't use as a leave-in. It's very heavy and the smell is really strong.

I had a lot of tubing left over because I put all my plants together when I left on vacation. I also bought two of them so if I needed extra I would have it because I didn't have many plants on the second one.

I never had the opportunity to try that as mine quit working in less than 2 months. While it worked I used it mostly for indoor training to leave plants alone, sat off furniture and that type of training.

Well, no, probably not. You should look into an actual repellant, like the type designedto keep pets out of flower beds. Amazon stocks several of these.

Only if citrus oil bothers you. It's completely safe and non toxic . Should be no need to vacate the area

I wondered that myself but didn't want to take the chance so I opened the box and followed the instructions and I plan on repackaging right before the holidays. It was very easy to just remove the plant and soak it. I keep it still in the box near a window for some light. I got them a couple of weeks ago and they look great!

That depends entirely on things like how big are the lightbulbs and how frequently and how long you intend listen/watch radio/tv. It is intended for emergency use, or for temporary camping. It would not be a "permanent" solution for not having electrical power, even in the jungles of Peru, I'm afraid.

My advise is make some tests before you leave. You need to make sure you dont run out of water too quickly and also to keep cycles in such a way that you dont run out of batteries. If you flush the plants with water, plants will have enough already then do perhaps 2 short cycles 12 sec or so per day or perhaps one daily 16 20 sec
