The Bottom Line
"The PlantWatcher is an easy to use tool for one of the most forgettable gardening tasks - watering your houseplants. It takes a little thought to get started, but once you get it right, you can forget about it for 3 weeks. If your houseplants are begging you for more attention, the PlantWatcher is a watering system you should look into."
A Common Question
"How often should you water your plants?"
There isn't a concise answer to this question.
The rate and amount of watering depends on many factors, size & type of its pot, plant species, location, growth stage, soil mixture and variable weather conditions.
PlantWatcher takes care of all of this for you!
How it Works
Because root demand turns the PlantWatcher on and off, the plant basically waters itself. The space-age sensor is in contact with the soil, constantly measuring soil moisture. Moisture decreases as the roots suck water out of the soil. Available water in the soil migrates toward the roots and sucks water out of the sensor by capillary action. When water is removed from the sensor, air can flow through the sensor and allow water to slowly drip out of the PlantWatcher. In other words, the sensor is an air control valve.
The release of water by air is the same principle that exists when water is held suspended in a straw by the finger tip. When the finger tip is removed, the incoming air allows water to flow out of the straw. If the finger tip is reapplied before all of the water runs out of the straw, the flow is stopped and the straw will hold the remaining water until the finger tip is again removed.
The outlet drip point at the end of the water delivery tube (water director) is placed near the center of the root system. The PlantWatcher is installed in the soil about 3 to 5 inches away from the drip point. The water coming out of the PlantWatcher wets a surface circle of 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 centimeters) in diameter. Also, gravity and the soil particles take the water deep down into the soil. As water is released at the end of the delivery tube, it migrates toward the sensor, and when it contacts the sensor, it shuts air flow off and therefore stops the water flow. This on-and-off cycle, triggered by the needs of the roots, continues supplying water precisely as needed. Only PlantWatcher provides for alternate wetting and drying of the soil, simulating nature, and allowing the roots to breathe oxygen. Oxygen is very important for growth in the synthesis of potassium and phosphates.
The unit automatically compensates for various types of soil, humidity, the needs of the plant and other ambient conditions such as sunlight because it is controlled by the demands of the root system. As a result, plants grow in a healthier way, free from the stress of over- or under-watering. The plant caregiver enjoys many benefits. The guesswork and concern of when to water is never an issue. Vacations and time away from the plant can be worry free because plants are watered automatically in a timely and most healthy way.
