Congrats!!\r\n\r\nFWIW, I use [irrigation stakes](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001IOZ98/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_8V2FVGBKEM5YETB1CHBC) now to help my plants stay watered when I'm depressed. They aren't.... *happy* by the time I get out of it, but they're usually alive and bounce back. Succulents would use far less water so maybe these could help them go further. I just use a big urn as the water reservoir.\r\n\r\nHere's hoping you never need to rely on them again. :) Best of luck to you!","subreddit_name":"succulents","author":"saryl"},{"body":"[here’s a link ](https://www.amazon.com/Blumat-Classic-Automatic-Watering-Stakes/dp/B0001IOZ98/ref=zg_bs_14623208011_1?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1\u0026amp;refRID=QJEC96CAQJQ1XKJ5QWMT)\r\n\r\nHopefully that works \r\n\r\nIt’s a little stake you push into the soil.

But I suggest treat them out before you travel to make sure its all working. I found covering the bucket you draw water from prevents it from evaporating away.

It took a few weeks to recover from nursery shock. I live in zone 10A. Here’s what I did: 1) quarantined the FLF; 2) did a mixture of dish soap and water and lightly sprayed the soil and lightly the leaves; 3) light fertilizer mixed with my used coffee grounds and egg shells and added it to the soil. The spraying was done when I remembered but not too aggressively or often because I didn’t want to overwhelm the plant with unnecessary moisture. On occasion, I would do a vinegar+citronella spray but that wasn’t often because my lizard brain was worried about lowering the pH of the soil too much. I don’t water the plant anymore because I have it on a watering system and it is doing really well now (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001IOZ98/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_fab_CV4BFb2MNV87Q)!\r\nIn total, it took 5 months.

You can use multiple stakes for larger plants / pots.\r\n\r\nCovers the accidental flood risk, and gives you more portability at the cost of having to fill reservoirs occasionally.","subreddit_name":"homeautomation","author":"5h4d0w"},{"body":"Well, I have friends and neighbors who offered for free (kids free...and I want to make clear, I love kids, but this is not parents with kids. This is grandparents with kids...sometimes grandparents can be a little more liberal in their dealings with kids). But it's too late now. They'd be super offended if my family friend didn't do it. They already know im crazy about my plants. So they'd assume I found someone I thought could do better, which would be true lol. \r\n\r\nAlso, in regards to your situation. I just bought these [self watering stakes](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001IOZ98/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1). The small ones only give like 2.5oz a day but they sell xL. Also, Amazon sells these [stakes](https://www.amazon.com/Watering-Devices-Terracotta-Vacation-Waterer/dp/B07F3YM1WD/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=3K8SBOMTJB8WY\u0026amp;dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=self+watering+stakes\u0026amp;qid=1623308635\u0026amp;sprefix=self+watering+st%2Caps%2C171\u0026amp;sr=8-2-spons\u0026amp;psc=1\u0026amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzM1pOVFFHS0pGV1daJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjczODk4MVk0SjlEWjBENEo3NSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDAxMTgxUFlDNlBRRk1CS1ZTJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==) without the reservoir, and instead you use a wine bottle upside down.  I can't say how well the first link works...haven't used it yet, but the 2nd link I listed uses about 1/4 of a wine bottle a day.\r\n\r\nAlso, I've read about taking a milkjug. Putting a hold in the bottom. Keep cap on milk jug. Add rocks to the bottom of jug if you're worried about wind. Then place the filled up milk jug directly on the soil. The theory is that the water will solely drip out of the milk jug.\r\n\r\nLike I said, I can't vouch for how any of these work.","subreddit_name":"SquareFootGardening","author":"mdyguy"},{"body":"I have some of these blumats, but I am afraid of overwatering.
