Long term plant care!!! 4 MONTHS!!!!!
I am using this product to keep my plants watered for at least 3 months using 5 gallon buckets as the water source. I will update this review later when I know how well it worked.
I am updating my original review with some great news! I had six plants (4 large, 2 small) that I wanted to try and keep alive during a 4 month long absence from my home. I used 5 gallon buckets for the large plants and a couple of gallon containers for the smaller plants to hold the water and covered the water containers with Press & Seal wrap to keep the water from evaporating. I also used 2 blumat junior stakes on each side of the large plants and only 1 stake in the smaller ones. Our home temperature was set to a cool 54 degrees also. When I returned I fully expected the plants to be either dead or nearly so but I was totally SHOCKED that they looked fabulous!!! They actually looked better than they normally would if I had the temperature at normal range and I was watering them by hand. The large plants had only used about 1/3 of the 5 gallons which must have been due to the cool temperature inside. The smaller plants used a bit more water but it may have been due to my placement of the water source which was lower than the others. I am attaching photos so that you can see my results. I am super pleased and can't say enough good things about this product. I love having these beautiful plants and am so glad they not only survived, but thrived!!!
