Bubblegum Stuff - Plant Life Support Drip Irrigation Device - Garden Tools, Home Accessories, Garden Gadgets Automatic Watering System - 350 ml

Does the job for my Bonsai when I'm away. (I suggest you put it on a really low setting if you want it to last a few days, though.)But the fact that it looks like your plant is in intensive care and on a hospital drip has caused a lot of mirth. (So much so that my handyman couldn't resist taking a photo of it!)

I bought this to help water my plant gradually, and it’s worked really well so far. It releases water slowly, keeping my plant hydrated for days without needing constant attention. It’s easy to set up, and the quirky design adds a nice touch to my pots. My only small complaint is that it can be a bit tricky to get the right water flow at first, but once it’s set, it does the job perfectly. Overall, very happy with it!

Really cute, tricky to set up first time but really good product

Rating: 3.5/5 (can't give half stars, so decided to round down to 3 unfortunately)This novelty “plant life support” IV bag looks the part and surprisingly, it actually works. But I don’t think I can give it more than 3 stars (3.5 if I’m generous), mainly due to some design flaws.First issue: the main tube that connects to the flow dial.Instead of sturdy plastic tubing like you'd find in a real IV setup, this one is made of soft, bendy rubber. It comes with a tiny funnel (not shown in product photos, or video... what was she doing filling straight from the tap? Madness! But yes, very useful) to help fill it up, but no matter how careful you are, water is going to get everywhere. That’s where the real problem starts.The “tiny knob” on the flow dial needs to be inserted into the rubber tube to form an airtight seal. But unless the tube twists all the way on, it won’t hold—and since the tube is soft and wet, this is incredibly difficult. The rubber needs to be made much thicker and firmer to allow a secure connection. As it is, trying to get a good seal feels like using a pool cue made of rope—you can twist and jam all you want, but unless it’s bone dry, it won’t connect properly.Second issue: the metal rod that supports the bag.It’s long enough to go deep into the soil, but unless it’s perfectly vertical and the soil is tightly packed, it won’t hold the weight of the filled bag. A better design would have multiple prongs or a wider base to stabilize it.On the plus side:The flow dial is actually great. It twists smoothly from “off” to “fully open” and has little numbers that I assume are flow rates (ml per hour or day?). The first time I opened the dial, the whole thing detached and, forgive the phrasing, p*ssd water everywhere. But once secured properly, it delivers a steady, slow drip into the blue soil spike, which is long enough to reach the roots of most small-to-medium plants.So in short:It looks cool, it does work, and it’s not just a gimmick. But the connection between the rubber tubing and the flow dial needs a redesign, and the bag stand is a too flimsy. If they fix those two issues, it’s a five-star product. As it stands: solid 3.5/5.

Bought it to keep a house plant alive while I was on holiday and it worked perfectly. You do need to experiment with the flow rate setting for a week or so though in order to make sure it's not letting the water out too quickly.

I loved the product and this was a well received gift. The problem was with the delivery.The box is part of the gift experience, as it had instructions printed on it. Amazon slapped my address sticker over the instructions and no matter how carefully I eased the sticker off, it pulled off some of the instructions. It should have been placed in a brown paper bag first before the address sticker was put on as I recycle everything I can.In short, fantastic 5 star product but Amazon needs to wrap and address appropriately.

This product looks great, but it is completely useless.It’s really hard to set a proper flow of water (if at all possible), so either water doesn’t flow or it all comes out really quickly.What’s worse is that the inside of the bag becomes mouldy really easily, which is then impossible to get out, even with dishwashing liquid.Not worth the price at all.

I bought this as a joke but it has been more used than I thought it would be. It is slowly making its rounds around the hour and we are using it on each plant and bring the correct moisture levels up in for each plant.
