You want your small potted plants to stay healthy with less fuss. This 3D printed watering spike lets you water from the bottom of the pot, giving roots steady access to moisture while you skip the daily watering routine.
The spike features an inner spiral that gives it strength despite thin 0.5mm outer walls. This smart design means the print uses less material and prints quickly. Just insert it into the soil at the bottom of your pot, fill it with water, and let gravity do the work. It works in PLA or PETG and prints in the original orientation without any special settings.
At about 90mm total length, this spike suits small houseplants and desk plants. Simply print it on demand and start using it right away, no assembly required.
What you get
- This design prints as one piece.
- Nothing else to print or buy for this to work.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
