The terracotta stake is specially designed to release just the right amount of water into the soil via an elegant, fluted glass reservoir globe. Create a reservoir with the inverted globe, attach it using the drip-free adapter, and the stakes will quench your plants' thirst on your behalf. As your plants absorb moisture from the soil, the stake will automatically release water directly into the soil, rather than on the surface, ensuring that root systems receive an adequate drink.
