How to Set Up Your Plant Watering Spikes in 60 Seconds

Prepare your water bottle. Fill any standard plastic bottle with clean water and tightly screw on the GreenShip watering spike.

Adjust the flow valve. Turn the dial to slow, medium, or fast based on your plant type (slow for succulents, medium for herbs/flowers).
-
Insert the spike into soil. Push the spike firmly into the soil near the plant roots—avoid damaging the root ball.
-
Set the bottle in place. Invert the bottle so the spike is buried and water begins slow, consistent dripping.

Double-check the drip rate. Ensure water is flowing at your chosen speed—no fast drips, no clogs.
