Keep your plants thriving with ease
The Self Watering Spike delivers slow, consistent moisture directly to the roots, encouraging deeper, healthier growth while reducing the need for frequent watering. Designed for plant lovers who value function, simplicity, and considered design.
How It Works
A natural cotton wick draws water from the reservoir using capillary action—releasing moisture gradually at root level. Simply fill, insert near the base of your plant, and let it do the rest. No repotting, electronics, or timers required.
What’s New
- Removable reservoir for easier cleaning and refilling
- Replaceable cotton wick for long-term use
- Improved funnel opening for cleaner, spill-free filling
- Refined fit and finish for everyday durability

FAQs
Will it fit my pot?
Medium: Recommended for pots 150mm+ in diameter.
Large: Recommended for pots 250mm+ in diameter.
Insert the spike near the plant’s base, allowing approximately 50mm clearance from the pot wall.
How long does one refill last?
Typically 1.5–2 weeks for indoor plants. Refill timing will vary depending on plant type, pot size, soil, light levels, and room temperature.
Can it be used outdoors?
It can be used outdoors in mild conditions. For best performance and longevity, we recommend indoor use or sheltered areas, and bringing it inside during freezing weather.
What types of plants does it suit?
The Self Watering Spike works best for indoor plants that prefer consistent, even moisture. It’s ideal for leafy houseplants and medium to larger plants in well-draining soil.
Common examples include monsteras, peace lilies, philodendrons, ficus, calatheas, and many tropical indoor plants.
It’s not recommended for plants that prefer very dry soil between watering, such as most succulents and cacti.
