Plant Watering Spike - Soil Water Diffuser - Set 4

A simple plant watering spike designed to guide water deeper into the soil and distribute it through side holes. It helps water reach the root area instead of staying only on the surface.

The set includes 4 flow variants with different hole sizes, hole density and water direction, so you can choose the right version for small pots, larger planters, garden beds, tomatoes, herbs or houseplants.

Key features:

• 4 flow variants included
• Designed for pots, planters and garden plants
• Helps distribute water below the soil surface
• Easy to insert into the soil
• One-piece print
• No assembly required
• Clean, functional design
• A1 Mini 3MF print profiles included

Included versions:

• Fine Flow: smaller hole pattern for slower water release
• Medium Flow: balanced version for everyday use
• Fast Flow: larger holes for faster water distribution
• Direct Flow: large holes placed on one side for directional watering toward the root area

Direct Flow version:
The Direct Flow variant has larger holes on one side only. The small cut-out on the top rim indicates the watering direction, so you can aim the water flow toward the root area or a selected part of the soil.

How to use:
Insert the spike into the soil near the plant. Pour water into the top funnel and let it flow down through the side holes. Choose the flow version depending on your soil type, pot size and watering needs.

For the Direct Flow version, rotate the spike so the top cut-out points toward the area you want to water.

Notes:
Water flow depends on soil density, hole pattern, print quality and material. For outdoor use or long-term contact with moisture, PETG is recommended.
