Are these spikes for houseplants?

Yes you can use the spikes for houseplants but not a full spike. I noticed when using a full spike the leaves burned. When using the spikes you want to use pieces of s single spike or dissolve one spike in a bottle of water then feed quarterly.

I use them for that purpose too, but it depends on the requirements of the plant. Look up the recommended balance of nutrients and if they are in line with with a 4-4-4 plant food then they will work.

No, they are for hydroponic use only. Use coco plugs or starter cubes for soil planting outdoors

If your pot is bigger than the spread of the leaves, I would say yes. The spikes are supposed to be inserted into the ground/dirt at the drip line (edge) of the tree.

Just don't put the spikes in the feet and place them right-side-up. The feet have a rubber insert in them already.

I would not buy these. The plants are very small for the price and they die very easily. Unless you are a professional and can watch these plants like a baby don't even waste your money. You can find better, larger, and better price plants elsewhere.

The spikes are not installed they come in a bag so if you want to use them you have to screw them in. I put my stand on carpet and I didn't use spikes.

I think it would be fine since they are two years old, give them a couple of weeks to settle in and maybe go with half the recommendation for the number of spikes to use for established trees. They are simply terrific, getting ready to get more for our apple and pear trees.

I believe instructions are to use one spike per inch diameter, not circumference. Check the instructions again to confirm. I am certain that you do not need 18 spikes for your tree.

I don't have any ivy plant; however, I have a variety house plants and I use these spikes in all of them. So much easier than the powder, there is no guess work. According to the Jobe's instructions, it good for all house plants. I haven't had a problem with it and would recommend it for use.

Dear Beth, they do have spikes on the bottom, I would not recomended to place them on hardwood floor, they might scratch your floor in the long run.

Some of mine were - but defintely not all of them. Many (probably 70+) already had hardy leaves as big or bigger than a penny each. But, these are great for pulling off leaves to propagate your own succulents if you have the time and patience. I did that and I now have hundreds of plates from teeny to medium-sized. Good luck!

While not actually qualified, as a metallurgist, to answer the question, I believe the spikes are pot metal. They have proven reasonably strong in the short sprinklers, but tend to break in the long versions. The sprinklers themselves work well.

Yes they are, but don't know why you would what that kind of flower pot then. They are perfect for on a deck railing.

I am on vacation right now. I don't remember any spikes for orange pieces on this feeder. I use this one for different jellies and fruit spreads.

I would think so, but my plant didn't survive the shipping. Remember though, that this is a tree. It is a small tree, growing 4-6 m (13-20 feet) tall, with a trunk up to 40 cm (16 in) diameter, but most homes don't have 20 foot tall ceilings. ;-)

I suppose they could be trimmed to shorten the length but the spikes are a bit brittle and cutting might shatter the whole spike. Hope that helps.

Neither one. They have tiny holes in them. Just fill your bottle with water and screw the spike on. Then stick it into the dirt at an angle where the spike will be close to the plant roots. It works better if you have thoroughly watered the plant first.
