This kit supplies everything you need except for the water. Just put the 5 gallon bucket near where you want the irrigation, attach the XL Blumat Classic watering stakes, and insert them into the potting mix or soil. The Blumats wick moisture as the plants deplete it, irrigate on the plants schedule instead of an arbitrary timer, and saves precious water. To increase or decrease the moisture content in your containers, just raise or lower the bucket. UN secretary general, António Guterres, says "we've passed the era of global warming" and “the era of global boiling has arrived." According to new scientific studies, less moisture in the soil leads to more severe heat waves while more soil moisture lowers air temperature. We designed this kit as a simple and inexpensive way almost everyone can help. You can let it fill up from rain, from a hose, or normally-wasted water like the water from a sink, shower, or bath that goes down the drain while we wait for it to get hot (just put a watering can or container under the faucet).

Water your plants the natural way—no timers, no power. Save water and time with this pressure-free system that runs on gravity—perfect for rainwater catchments, off-grid gardens, and eco-conscious growers. Simple, efficient, and easy to set up. We designed this watering kit for backyard gardeners without much time, without a green thumb, and without a lot of extra dollars to spend. Much more simple and easy to install than a typical drip system, it can still provide much more consistent and reliable irrigation. Another unique advantage over normal drip systems is that this one doesn’t require pressure – instead, it siphons. This makes it ideal for rainwater collection systems as well as for watering plants or trees far removed from water lines.   This base kit is adaptable and expandable in many different ways. It includes a bulkhead fitting you can use to attach to almost any water container. You can also order a 5-gallon one from us and also add on a rain collection screen. You can add more of either the small or large Classics, a filter screen, a water level indicator, or more supply line. You could also add a pressure reducer and float valve to make this into an automatically instead of manually filled system.  Almost all drip kits for backyard gardening require timers, water pressure, and pressure reducers. You have to guess how much water the plants need; and, as the season progresses, the plants get bigger and the temperature gets warmer, your guesses mismatch more and more. The plants cycle between drowning and drying out too much. This kit solves those problems. With a much lower learning curve, it automatically waters your plants without needing electricity, a timer, or even water pressure. Less expensive and easier to install, much less can go wrong. The ollas-inspired cones provide more water when the soil dries, less when it has lots of water.

Much better than the wine bottle versions because Blumats are so much easier to refill: just cut the bottom off plastic bottle and fill with your regular watering can. (No reason to go back and forth from your sink so many times.) Better than the globe spikes because these disperse the water evenly, not just through a hole in the bottom. Just fit this adapter into almost any standard plastic bottle, fill the bottle with water and push into the soil near a plant. The porous cone will slowly start to distribute water throughout the day. The regular size does about 200 milliliters (.43 pint) during a 24-hour period. The XL, larger size does about 300 milliliters (.63 pint). Guide to Bottle Adapter & Glass Globes

This new Blumat input filter fits on the Blumat Bulkhead Through-Hull Tank Connector, inside the reservoir and keeps sediment and leaves from getting into your supply line. It doesn’t fit on the older tank connectors we had before August 2023 though. The new ones (on the right in the picture below) have two tabs on the sides and a 6-sided jut on the input side, where the old ones have two parallel lines. An inexpensive "insurance policy," this could save you quite a bit of headache if your water doesn't always stay clean.

Description Extend the reach of your Blumat sensors. Sometimes, it's best to have your water source further away from your plants than the 33" that comes with Blumat. This little kit offers 10 additional feet of tubing plus 2 coupling fittings and a tee fitting. The couplings allow you to extend your watering range and the tee allows you to water two separate plants from the same water line. Components This Kit Includes: 3mm Tubing (10 ft.) (IG15473V) 2x 3mm Couplings (IG15520) 3mm Tee (IG15581)

No power, timers, or stress—this automatic system keeps your plants watered while you're away or just too busy. Easily expandable and perfect for stress-free, "green-thumb" results. Without batteries, timers, electricity, or even a conventional water source, Blumat Classics siphon water from a reservoir into the plant containers. They give the plants water slowly through a porous ceramic cone so you won’t worry about squeezing the important air pockets out of the potting mix, under, or over-watering. Just place each cone in the potting soil, and connect to the provided main line attached to the reservoir. You can also add more Classics to the main 8mm line or add another kit and second bulkhead fitting to the same bucket to extend the number of plants. This specific kit can water up to 10 days minimum, 20 days max. Click here to read/download instructions.

About this item   Fill a bowl with water. Remove the top of the Blumat Put both the top and ceramic cone into the bowl to soak for at least 15 minutes. Holding the cone and cap underwater, knock out the air bubbles in each piece and press the top on tightly. Push the ceramic cone completely into the soil. Extra large plants should be provided with two or three cones. Put the hose right to the bottom of a full container of water. Add a little liquid fertilizer if necessary. The level of water in the container should be level with or below the green cap. Raising or lowering the water container increases or reduces the flow rate. Maintenance Once a year, place the hose in hot water. Clean the inside of the ceramic cone with a brush and the outside with sandpaper or a pot scrubber type pad. Description Take a vacation and let your plants look after themselves. Blumat Classic Plant Savers ensure a constant supply of water. They automatically supply just the right amount - never too much or not enough. Your plants will love it. They won't experience the drying out that stunts growth or the over-watering that squeezes the air out of the soil and keeps them from "breathing" properly. As the soil dries, the ceramic cone delivers water gradually into the surrounding earth - thereby creating a vacuum within the cone which draws water from the nearby container of water. Once the soil is moistened the Blumat will cease flowing water. It waters your plants only as needed. You can even add fertilizer to the water supply. This slow, continual feeding encourages prolific growth. Blumat Classic will only draw water up 12 inches (30cm). If the surface of the water in your container is lower than this, the flow of water will be restricted and the plants gradually dry out. Each Blumat has a limit on how fast it can deliver water. Several cones may be necessary for larger plants in order to meet the higher water needs. In this case, a larger reservoir of water must also be available. Tips If you intend to be away from home for any length of time, ensure that the water container is large enough. Depending on type, size and season, a plant will require 1/4 to 1 litre (1 qt.) of water weekly. Delivery of water to the soil in the flower pots is automatic. If you do not refill the water container the Blumat will dry out. To restore the function, the Blumat Jr. must be refilled. (Follow steps 1-5).

Not as elegant as our Glass Globe version and doesn't give out as much water; but, this one costs less than half as much and can really help your plants. Depending on temperature, potting mix and plant type; it typically goes about 5 days before needing to be filled up again.  These water slowly and the slower you water, the deeper the water goes, the deeper the roots go, and  the more access plants have to moisture and nutrients. The stronger and more healthy they become and the more resistant to under-watering, over-watering, and to pests.

The Blumat Digital moisture meter is a super accurate water moisture reader that measure the moisture content of your plant at root level. This is the replacement top for the moisture meter and is great for making an old item brand new! DO NOT WET THE DISPLAY. Moisture can cause damage to the LCD display. If using outside or in conjunction with hand-watering or foliar feeds, use our cap here.

Instant, accurate soil moisture readings purpose-built for potting mix and living soil. No calibration, no guesswork — just reliable data so you know exactly when to water and when to hold off. Available Options ＋ Meter Only — Base unit for reliable soil moisture readings. Meter + Protective Cap — Adds UV and moisture protection for outdoor use. Meter + Protective Cap + Battery — Includes a spare CR2032 3-volt battery. Complete Kit (Meter + Cap + Battery + Coring Tool) — Full field kit with the Blumat Coring Tool (1" wide, 11"+ long) for precise sensor installation with minimal soil disturbance. How It Works ＋ Insert the probe into your potting mix and get an instant reading in millibar (mbar). The lower the number, the wetter the soil. Use it to dial in your Blumat sensors, check moisture before watering, or track drybacks between feeds. Purpose-built for container growing — not field soil. Gives consistent, repeatable readings that cheap probes and finger tests can't match. Important Notes ＋ The top of the meter is not waterproof — do not submerge or expose to standing water. The protective cap should not be seated directly into soil — trapped humidity can damage the sensor. Reset instructions available here.

Description These are great for watering long plant beds, planter boxes, and giving large plants an even amount of water in a circle around them. They connect to a Tropf-Blumat or a Maxi.This is less expensive than adding more sensors but you may need to add a filter to your system if you use nutrients in your water so they don't clog.  Two barbs let you connect tubing on both sides of the dripper for up to five drip locations from one Tropf-Blumat (dripper chain). The end-distributor dripper has a drip nozzle on one side only for use as the end piece in a dripper chain. You can go as far as 100 cm (39") from the sensor with these and they water about 20 cm wide (8"). Minimum pressure to use them like this is 4.5 psi. You can go down as low as 2 psi but the last dripper or two might not put out much water. By adjusting the black screw on the top, you can use more. In pressure systems, customers report successfully using as many as 25 with just one Blumat sensor.

Description Each Tropf Blumat can control 5 of these distribution drippers and saturate a 40" length - either in a row or around a large plant. So with this set you can set up 10 mini systems like that. The caps go on the ends of the last distribution dripper to stop the water flow. If your plants and conditions are the same, you can also put one Tropf Blumat in the first pot with one distribution dripper and one or two in each put after that.

Description Each Tropf Blumat can control 5 of these distribution drippers and saturate a 40" length - either in a row or around a large plant. In a pressure system, by adjusting the black screw, it's possible to do more than 5 but with a gravity system, usually better to stay with 2-3. If your plants and conditions are the same, you can also put one Tropf Blumat in the first pot with one distribution dripper and one or two in each plant after that. One customer reported doing this successfully with 25 distribution drippers running off just one Blumat sensor.

Description Use these to end a Blumat distribution line. The regular distribution drippers have barbs on both sides so you need a way to end them without water dripping out too fast. You can do that with an end cap (IG15509) or with one of these. They are less expensive than the standard drippers and much easier to take on and off than the end caps. The end caps often need pliers to remove but they just pull on and off.
