What it does
- Screws onto a standard pop bottle so you can set up a slow watering source

- Compact spike design pushes into soil near your favorite potted plants

Watering spikes come in many shapes. This one screws onto an empty pop bottle and turns it into a slow drip source for your plants. Fill the bottle, screw on the spike, and push it into the soil near your flowers or potted plants. It sits there and releases water through small holes while you are out of town or busy with other things.
This version is the updated v2 design. The threads were adjusted for a better fit on standard pop bottles. The base has a knurled texture, so you get a better grip when you twist the spike onto the bottle neck. The spike itself has a pointed tip made for pushing into garden soil or planter dirt.
It works well for anyone who travels often, forgets to water plants, or just wants a simple backup system for their garden or windowsill pots. Made in the USA.
