Whether you "lock and leave" a secondary residence or just need help with your plants at home, this is the product you have been looking for!  You will want these for yourself and should definitely consider as a great gift!

The Plant Nanny is made from specially engineered SmartPottery™ ceramic and is 6 1/2" in length.  Plant Nanny stakes help plants stay healthier by releasing water into the soil where and when the plants need it.   This optimal watering system prevents plant roots from drying out and pots and containers stay more uniformly moist.  Excellent for use in house plants, hanging planters, container gardens, or any where you want plants to have a reliable source of water. Also use Plant Nanny Stakes when transplanting to help plants avoid root shock. Simply insert the Plant Nanny into the soil on one or both sides of a plant. Plants roots will grow around the stake and use water more efficiently. 

Easy to refill Add-A-Bottle Stakes feature an innovative "drip free" adaptor that connects a standard water or soda bottle to a stake to increase the reservoir size to extend the time between waterings.
