Both elegant and useful, you can use this with the lid when you're home or gone for short times from 1-2 weeks. If you need to be gone for a longer time, just use a common 5 gallon carboy like used in drinking water dispensers. It won't look as good but can keep your plants happy for 1-2 months.
The bulkhead fitting and valve attach to a 8mm supply line (sold separately) that circulates around your plants. Any place you need watering, just cut the line with scissors, push the two ends of the tee attached to either the regular or XL Classic, and push the Classic into your potting mix. You can change the amount of water supplied by raising or lowering the jar.

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.

Description
Traveling or too many plants without enough time to take care of them? Blumat Classics can take care of them for you and make everyone think you have a "green thumb." This kit can water up to 12 plants and you can easily extend it for more. 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.
Take a vacation and let your plants look after themselves. Blumat 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 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.
Need some automated houseplant watering support but not sure how to start? To get exactly what you want, start with this foundation kit and add on Classics based on number and size of your plants, the type of water container, and any other options you might need.For our complete version see IG18665.
A 2 gallon water container that looks good, can water your plants for 1-3 weeks, and also prevents algae from growing. The bulkhead fitting and valve attach to 8mm supply line (IG15978, sold separately) that circulates around your plants. Any place you need watering, just cut the line with scissors, push the two ends of the tee attached to either the regular or XL Classic (order separately), and push the Classic into your potting mix. You can change the amount of water supplied by raising or lowering the jar. The handy wooden chalkboard makes it easy to record dates if you'd like to keep track of how long the water lasts.
The most economical Glass version but still looks good and thin enough to hide between or behind plants. The bulkhead fitting and valve attach to 8mm supply line (IG15978, sold separately) that circulates around your plants. Any place you need watering, just cut the line with scissors, push the two ends of the tee attached to either the regular or XL Classic (order separately), and push the Classic into your potting mix. You can change the amount of water supplied by raising or lowering the jar. (Some of the glass jars pictured here are clear but a different shape than the ones we send.)
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.
