DIAFIELD Indoor Automatic Plant Waterer, Self Watering System for 15 Potted Plants, Auto Drip Irrigation Kit Programmable Water Timer

We went on vacation for 3 weeks. I was sure I would come home to dead plants. They all had different watering needs and to be honest, I didn’t have a lot of faith this would work. It did!!! ALL of my plants did just fine! I set the system up for 5 plants. I gave a couple of them 3 spikes some got one spike. They all lived! Easy to follow instructions, one trial run, some guessing on watering needs, and about 30 minutes to set up the whole thing. No leaks, no mess, no struggle. Just happy plants when I got home! SO impressed, so happy and relieved! GREAT system!

Easy to use auto watering system. Used for a 10 day vacation and it correctly watered my plants and kept them healthy. The dial is easy to use to set desired inputs. Pump was better quality and stronger than other auto systems around the same price point. Would buy again.

Works great! To optimize, be sure to figure out how many seconds of watering you think the average plant needs. These are drippers, so 15 seconds of dripping isnt enough water for a plant on a warm day (and I am in western Washington State). But the system works great and is perfect for vacation time. Even used it with indoor plants in the kitchen sink while on vacation. Actually I think they did better than when I was home.

It was a tiny bit complex to set up, but not horrible. The reason for the one star deduction is the lacking of more help in the manual. I'm not a botanist or anything like that and didn't feel like I got a lot of help with how to set this up. The manual basically just said something like: use the tubes and connectors to set up the system. No real advice on how to hook them up. When to use which type of connector. What to do when you have a big plant that needs more water and smaller plants that need less. Similar with the step of how to set up the automation. It just said things like: you can choose between 10 seconds and 10 minutes. Stuff like that. I little bit of help on what settings to choose would be great. My first attempt I picked 5 minutes (with the help of ChatGPT). But the 5 minute slow drop was more of a 5 minute stream and my plants totally overflowed. Again with the help of ChatGPT I then did a test of how much water each plant gets in the span of one minute, by putting the stakes in cups instead of in the plants and setting it to manual for 1 minute. I had three stakes and each got 1/2 cup in one minute. So based on that info, ChatGPT is making suggestions of what settings could probably work. He's suggesting something like 10 seconds every 2 or 3 days. I still have to perfect the settings before going on my trip, but am waiting for the plants to recover from the 5 minute disaster. However, water does flow to my three stakes and it does listen to the automatic settings. It's also not very difficult to set it all up. It's just lacking more advice. So 4 stars.

I've been running this for at least a year. In my opinion is a great value but has downsides. I purchased to keep plants alive while on vacation but accidentally set it to seven seconds per day instead of minutes. Came home to dead plants. That's on me, don't make that same mistake. Also if I bump the pump a line is likely to disconnect and pump water everywhere but where you want it. Easy enough to reconnect and I keep mine in a bin so when that happens the mess is contained. Could you spend more for something nicer? Probably. Is this worth what I paid for it? Absolutely!

Definitely works. Intake water hose could be a bit longer so that if a person is gone for a month there will be enough water intake. I had a big enough bucket, but the intake hose and valve didn’t reach to the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket. A person might want a separate unit to set up a lower setting of water output for succulents. Peace lilies, needed more water, succulents needed less, so some plants were overwatered because of one setting for 20 plants.

Works perfectly, easy to assemble, easy to calibrate

I returned this… its instructions seemed a little too complex, plus needing to cut and join the tubs together for all the plants. It would have taken me longer to do that than the 4 days I’m going on vacation and needed it for.
