2) How long can I leave my plants unattended using Water Worm? You can leave plants 3-4 weeks or even longer, as long as the water supply container is large enough to last. We find that gallon plastic milk containers or bottled water jugs work well. Please note: for very large plants and trees, particularly in hot dry climates, more than one Extra Long Water Worm may be needed and even they may not fully provide the ideal amount of water. That said, the plant or tree will most definitely be far better off with Water Worms than without anything.

4) Will I need to re-pot my plants to use Water Worm? No. Water Worm works in any type of pot. Installation, is quick and easy... shouldn't take more than a few minutes for each plant.

5) Is Water Worm reusable? Yes. Simply remove Water Worm from your plant, rinse it out, then keep it for the next time you plan to go away.

6) How does Water Worm work? Mostly by capillary action. Water Worm acts like an extension of the roots of the plant. The plant's roots draw water through Water Worm as needed. You can put fertilizer in with the water and fertilize your plants over time while you water them.  For the complete instructions, click here>

7) How many Water Worms will I need? One for each plant that you want the ability to water automatically. For large plants with large water requirements or in especially hot and/or dry conditions, two might be needed.

8) What type of water container will I need? We suggest using a gallon plastic milk container or bottled water jug. Or use a vase for a more attractive look.

9) Can I use Water Worm for plants on my deck? While Water Worm is designed primarily for houseplants, it has been used successfully for plants in pots and containers on decks and patios. Water Worm is not recommended for plants growing in the garden.

10) Could Water Worm over-water my plants? In general, Water Worm will supply only the amount of water the plant needs.  However it's possible, particularly for small plants, if the level of the water in the water supply container is significantly higher than the end of Water Worm in contact with the roots of the plant, that over-watering could occur, until the level drops.

11) What colors do Water Worms come in? Water Worms come in a variety of colors and patterns, which vary somewhat from shipment to shipment. We almost always have shades of greens and blues in checks and solids. Other colors may include shades of purple, pink, orange, red and yellow. We often have a variety of flower patterns. Water Worms do not come in black, gray, brown, white or "clear". We will do our best, but can't guaranty, to meet your preferences.
