Are you looking for an effective and eco-friendly way to keep your plants hydrated? Village Decor Terracotta Drippers are a fantastic solution that promotes consistent moisture delivery directly to your plants roots. In this post, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of using these terracotta drippers to ensure your plants thrive.
Step 1: Soak the Dripper
Before first use, soak the terracotta dripper in water for at least 30 minutes. This crucial step prevents the dripper from drying out too quickly and ensures your plant receives consistent hydration from the start.
Step 2: Check the Soil Moisture
Before digging a hole for your Terracotta Dripper, check that the soil is slightly moist. This moisture ensures that the dripper can work effectively, allowing water to move easily into the surrounding soil.
Step 3: Dig a Hole 6 Inches from the Plant's Roots
Next, dig a hole approximately 6 inches away from your plant’s roots. This distance is crucial, as it allows the dripper to deliver water directly to the root zone without disturbing the plant’s established root system. This strategic placement enhances the effectiveness of the watering process.
Step 4: Place the Dripper
Now it’s time to insert the soaked dripper into the hole. Carefully cover it with soil, making sure the mouth remains visible and accessible. This positioning facilitates easy filling and monitoring.
Step 5: Fill and Maintain
Fill the dripper with water and close it with the lid. Check the soil moisture level weekly. If it feels dry, refill the dripper as needed to ensure consistent hydration.
Note: Our village decor terracotta dripper holds moisture for about 14 days, but this can change depending on the plant, soil type, and weather. It’s important to check the soil moisture weekly to know when to refill the dripper.
