What Makes It Uncommon

For plant parents, a vacation means hunting around for someone to babysit those botanicals...or drenching them before you leave and hoping for the best. Instead, treat your indoor greens to some intensive care with this amusingly designed and efficient self-watering system.

  • Inspired by hospital IV bags, it’ll deliver a steady drip of hydration to any kind of potted plant.
  • Just fill with water, hang the bag on the included hook, and open the flow regulator to release life-sustaining refreshment that’ll last for up to seven days (depending on the flow setting).
  • Ideal for taking care of plants while you’re away (or just forgetful about watering).
  • Made in China.

Usually ships within 24 hours.

Stopped working

I got this and it was amazing (although I agree with ibe review in that there desperately needs to be a taller version). My shamrock got enormous!!! However, after about a year it just stopped working and the water bad stayed full. I figured something was clogged after all that time, so I removed the drip hose and cleaned the part you stick in the dirt. When I tested it, it seemed to work fine; water seeped out of it. But I set it up again and it's still not working—the water bag remains full. I really loved this and it saved my shamrock, but now I'm hesitant to order s replacement.


Hilarious Gift

I am a registered Nurse and have a son who has killed multiple plants so, over the years, I have given him funny gifts, i.e. fake plants, hand blown glass plants, etc.. When I saw this item I knew I had to give it to him for Christmas. We all had a great laugh. Hopefully his plants will have a better chance at survival now!


Perfect for those traveling plant lovers!

Ok.. so my bestie LOVES his plants. Thing is, he travels A LOT for work... and that can mean hiring someone just to come in and love on his plants during his trip. These Plant Life Support Self-Waterers were my way of helping a bff out! Now he doesn't have to worry about his plants getting the H2o they need while he's off making more money to buy more plants with.


Cute and functional

Really cute item, and functions well! Of course, for the price it will probably not last forever but if you set it up correctly it has been working great. The only slight downside is that the metal holder can struggle in loose soil or small pots. But this is likely solvable with some work.


Best gift for a nurse!

my sister in law is a nurse, saves lives for a living - her she can't keep her houseplants alive. I got this gift for her for Xmas and she cackled when opening and said it was her favorite gift this year. Functional, cute, and hilarious - a wonderful gift for nurses, doctors, EMTs, etc. #sweepstakes


Now on my go-to gifts list

I originally got this for my brother who loves Monstera plants, and now it's on my short-list for gifts for all my plant-loving friends and family! As an RN, I can confirm that it really does look and work just like an old-school IV bag (with a wheel to determine the flow rate), which is so cute and I just have to get it to bring a little bit of my nurse style to friends' homes. Definitely worth the price point because it's so unique and well-made! #sweepstakes


Pole is too short and falls over

This is adorable and would work well IF it stood up on its own and was taller. The pole is straight without a base, it falls over even before you hang the full bag on it. The pole also needs to be taller for it to work correctly.

Shoddy device, Drained very quickly

Drained very quickly at the lowest setting. Drowned the plant.

Can it be used with outdoor potted plants?

Verified reply from Jen

Yes, as long as they are potted you are ready to go!


How long would a bag of water last? I plan to travel abroad for a month and would like to use these.

Verified reply from Ashley

Thank you for your question! The flow regulator on the Plant Life Support Self-Waterer allows you to release life-sustaining refreshment that’ll last for up to seven days depending on the flow setting.


Is this reusable or one time use?

Verified reply from Maxienne

This is reusable.


Does this work for orchids, or would the flow rate be too high?

Verified reply from Dayle-Marie

Thank you for inquiring about our Plant Life Support Self-Waterer. You can adjust the flow regulator to drip more or less water depending on the needs of the plant. Here is a link to our video of how to assemble: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu6wJj7QeXY


How does filling the bag work?

Verified reply from Michelle

Hi! You fill the bag from the open tube at the bottom using a faucet, before you attach the tubing that you will insert into the soil.
