Description Houseplant Super FoodDust-free biochar soil amendment for maximum plant and planetary health Because most houseplant mixes mainly have only perlite and peat moss, which have little to no nutrient value, adding biochar can make a big difference in houseplant health. Activated biochar can hold 6x its weight in water, but it starts out extremely dry, and the biochar used in greenhouses and on farms can create a dark dust not welcome inside your home. To solve this problem, we charge this version with both moisture and important nutrients, which eliminates dust and keeps your plants and home looking their best. Biochar's ability to absorb and store water and nutrients helps prevent root rot, while keeping moisture available to roots for longer periods of time—a great comfort for those of us who worry about our plants while away, especially when paired with Blumat Classic stakes.   While keeping your plants healthier, biochar benefits our environment and prevents a little global warming. Biochar can keep carbon in the soil for thousands of years instead of letting it pollute the air. It also stops nitrogen from turning into the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. Making biochar in forest fire prevention projects reduces CO2 levels instead of increasing them. The more uses we find for biochar, the more we can help prevent climate change!Click here to read our article about the benefits of biochar!   How to use Biochar Supersnacks for Houseplants:For existing potted plants, simply sprinkle our charged biochar fertilizer over your soil and water it in. Use two tablespoons per gallon of soil.When repotting, you can pre-mix two tablespoons of Biochar Supersnacks per gallon of potting mix to supercharge your soil!

Description 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

Description Our indoor kit features six Blumat stakes. These Blumats ensure a constant supply of water to your indoor plants. They automatically supply just the right amount -never too much or too little. Your plants won't experience any drying out that stunts growth or over-watering that squeezes the air out of the soil and keeps plants from "breathing" properly. As the soil dries, a ceramic cone gradually delivers water into the surrounding dirt, which creates a vacuum within the cone that draws water from a nearby container of water. And once the soil reaches a desired moisture level, the Blumat will stop pulling in water. You can even add fertilizer to the water supply — slow, continual feeding encourages prolific plant growth. Vacation without worrying about watering your plants. Just fill up a container with enough water to last your plants while you're gone - Blumat will do the rest! No need to re-pot, move your plants, or hire a plant sitter. Great while you're at home, too! Simply fill a water container, connect your Blumat, and take care of many different plants and plant types at the same time! Easy and simple to set up Plants grow healthier and faster Slow and steady watering allows water to warm up before going into the soil, eliminating the worry of shocking your plants. Blumat stakes will only draw water up 12 inches (30cm). Be sure to place your water supply within this range. If the surface of the water in your container is lower than this, the flow of water will be restricted and your plants will gradually dry out. Each Blumat holds a limit on how fast it can deliver water. Use several cones or a Blumat Classic XL for larger plants with higher water needs. In this case, also be sure to use a larger water reservoir. With the included Extend-a-Kit, you can expand the reach of your Blumat stakes. Regarding plant health, sometimes it's best to have your water source further than the 33" that comes with the Blumat. This little kit gives you 10 extra feet of 8mm tubing plus 2 couplings, a T-splitter and a Y-splitter adapter. The couplings allow you extend your watering range and the T- and Y-splitters let you water 2 plants from a single water line.
