2PCS Extra Large 6500ML Drip Irrigation Bag with 0-250ML Per Hour Adjustable Flow, Self Automatic Watering System for Outdoor Gardening Plants and Flowers, Easy to Use

I have 3 potted Ficus trees on my sunny south-facing balcony in LA that I needed to keep alive during a 8 day trip to Florida. I purchased 6 (2 each of the product for each tree) and hung them from the branches. 1 week before my trip, I tested the flow rate to ensure I had it set correctly so that the water flow would last. The flow rate of 50 was ideal. I have an outdoor camera that during my trip I checked periodically to check how much water was left in each bag. The bags worked as designed and slowly dispensed a trickle of water which you could clearly see drip into the root system. I positioned each stake so that the stake was 1) securely placed in the soil in the pot and 2) dripping water into the hole I dug next to each stake. I also purchased some moss to cover the soil exposed to the sun to minimize moisture evaporation. When I returned, all 3 trees were alive and only 1 of the 3 had some yellow leaves which eventually dropped and were replaced by green leaves. The flow rate set to 50 actually lasted a total of 9 days. They are easy to set up and connect. When setting them up, be sure to allow sufficient length for the lower tubing that connects to the stake. That is important! When you fill each bag, the lower portion of the stake will rise up! Luckily they provide more than enough plastic tubing in case you need to re-cut the lower tubing portions! Very happy with this purchase!

While having an IV bag for your plants isn't super attractive, it is super convenient. It took a bit of experimentation to get the flow rate right, but these work well for two tropical plants I have in the window. I need to fill the bag about once every 4 weeks, and it's easy to tell when they need water once the flow rate is set right as the bag is simply low.

Worked for a few days, now water sitting in bladder for a month.
