Installation Guide
How to Set Up Your System
Takes just a few minutes. Once set up, your plants water themselves.
Step 1
Fill the Cone
Fill the clay cone completely with water and press the green cap on firmly.
Step 2
Water the Plant
Start with damp soil so the cone can read the plant's moisture needs accurately.
Step 3
Insert Near Roots
Push the cone into the soil close to the plant until all of the ceramic is submerged
Step 4
Place Reservoir
Put the tube in a water container, ideally level with or slightly below the green cap.
Important setup note
Best for indoor pots and heavier soils. Lower the water source to reduce flow in lighter soils
First-water check
Check after the first day and adjust plant or reservoir height if the soil is too wet or too dry.
WORRY FREE WATERING
Happy and Healthy House Plants
Take a vacation. Forget about overwatering. Turn any vase, wine bottle, or bowl into an elegant watering system, and watch your plants thrive. Sixty years of Austrian engineering powering houseplants across Europe, now available in the USA.
Fill Once, Walk Away
Fill the cone once and walk away. Your plants stay watered for days or weeks at a time.
Any Container Works
A wine bottle, a mason jar, a vase, a bowl — if it holds water, it can feed your plants.
Travel Without Worry
Leave for the weekend, the week, or the holidays. Come home to plants that look exactly how you left them.
Easier Than a Watering Can
Add water, drop the tube in a container, push it into the soil. That's it.
Gentle on Roots
Water seeps slowly through the clay near the root zone — no flooding, no shock, no soggy soil.
Austrian Engineering
The ceramic-cone design hasn't changed since 1965. Some ideas don't need updating.
What's in the Box?
3 Ceramic Watering Cones
The clay cone is the heart of every Blumat. Hollow-cast and fired at over 1,000°C, each one is made from a precise natural-clay mixture and tested batch by batch. As soil dries, the cone draws water through its porous surface — the same Austrian design that's worked since 1965.
3 Green Caps
Seals the cone after filling with water. Screw on the cone to lock in place — the cap is what creates the vacuum that pulls water through the tube.
3 Siphon Tubes
Connect each cone to a nearby water container — a glass, mason jar, vase, or bowl. The tube delivers water on demand as the cone calls for it.
Easiest Watering Solution
How Blumat Classic Works
The Soil Dries
Between waterings, the soil around the cone slowly loses moisture — just like it does for any potted plant.
The Cone Senses the Pull
As the soil dries, it creates a gentle vacuum on the moisture inside the porous clay. The cone feels the thirst.
Water Flows In
That vacuum travels up the drip tube and draws fresh water out of your container — exactly when the plant needs it.
The Soil Drinks
Water seeps slowly through the cone into the surrounding soil, then into the roots. Watering your plant perfectly.
The Flow Stops
When the soil is moist again, the vacuum releases. Watering pauses on its own until the plant is thirsty again.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 51 reviews.
I’ve always had trouble watering my banana tree since I installed blumat drip I now have four leaves which has never happened before over the past two years🫶 the drip system!
Amazing product! I just ordered more
This has worked very well for me. Easy install. I was out of town for three weeks and my plants were great and healthy when I got back.
This has worked very well for me. Waters plants when out of town.
I’m impressed with how well this works. Good product.
I'm really happy with this system. Best thing I've bought here this year. I travel a lot and it solved consistent watering for my two indoor plants. My plants would kiss you if they could.
This has worked very well for me. Kept two plants alive for two weeks.
This has been a great addition to my garden. Kept the plant alive for 3 weeks of vacation.
This has worked very well for me. I spent three weeks in Europe with a camera on the plants since they couldn't be farmed out to friends, and watched them thrive the whole time on gallons of distilled water with headroom for more weeks. One is blooming now. I recommend setting up weeks before departure to catch air bubbles (a plant not drawing water) and to adjust reservoir height per plant.
Overall, I’m very happy with it. Worked well over a 10-day vacation.
It works, but there are a few things to know. I bought based on the positive reviews but my plants absorb no water regardless of angle or elevation. I always end up hand watering after the plants look sad
I'm really happy with this system. It has worked every vacation. The rule is keeping the water level not above the pot. I tried other brands and Blumat is the only one that never failed.
This has been a great addition to my garden. I was away nearly two weeks and a fairly large container fed three houseplants with water to spare. The stakes actually look good too. They complement rather than overpower the plants and fit medium pots perfectly. I expect years of reuse.
This has worked very well for me. I considered putting a peace lily up for adoption before a month away, then bought this the day before leaving. The plant came back healthier than under hand watering and grew two flowers while i was gone, so now it stays on the system permanently. I was impressed by the elegant no-gimmick design.
A solid system once you get it dialed in. Good product, easy install, works.
This has worked very well for me. It's part of my standard out-of-town routine for indoor and outdoor plants, and it's easy to set up and clean. I run several stakes from one watering can, sometimes a wine bottle per stake. Read the instructions and it works.
I'm impressed with how well this works. Two-week vacation success. The plants thrived, not just survived. Now I leave them in permanently. It waters one central pot about every ten days and my six connected plants look healthier and stronger than ever.
This has worked very well for me. My overwintered geraniums survived TWO MONTHS away and were still blooming when I got back. Geraniums do tolerate neglect though, so results may differ for more demanding plants.
This has been a great addition to my garden. My huge ficus (2 stakes, 2 gallon jugs slightly lower, half used) and an 18in Norfolk pine (1 stake, covered pitcher slightly below, water gone, soil damp) are both alive after TWO MONTHS. The ficus shed no more leaves than usual.
This has been a great addition to my garden. Six months on a strawberry pot including two extended trips and the plants are healthier under the stake-and-siphon than under my painstaking manual monitoring. Next up is the plant in a little-used room I always forget.
Im impressed with how well this works. Setup: soak 15+ minutes, assemble underwater snapping the lid on and off to purge air, never lift the tube end out of the water, and bury the clay so the green cap sits half-buried with soil packed around it. It measures under 1/4 inch per day drawn from a gallon jug on a decent-sized Norfolk pine pot.
I'm really happy with this system. Past vacations dried my plants out, now I'm confident beyond a week. The key is making sure there's no air in the tube before submerging it in the reservoir. In testing I could see the reservoir drop after one night. I'm recommending it to friends and buying more plants becuase of it.
This has worked very well for me. Years of ordinary watering spikes cracking within a season led me here. Works like a champ. I carved a channel in a foam cork to seal the reservoir against mosquitoes.
I'm impressed with how well this works. I followed directions and a week in the moisture is consistent in small pots. March 2025 update: I LOVE them. I own two other watering systems for larger pots and this works by far the best. Ordered another set for my water-hungry coffee tree.
Im really happy with this system. I researched heavily and started testing months before a November trip. In an A/B test on outdoor jalapenos, the Blumat plant hasn't needed water and looks better than under hand watering, while the control has been watered twice and is wilting again. Two days in, the reservoir is only about 1/3 down. Optimistic for vacation and will keep using it regardless.
This has been a great addition to my garden. I was leaving for weeks with fingers crossed over watering bulbs, and came back after 3 weeks to healthier plants than when I left. I filled the stakes while submerged in a bucket per another review, kept the bucket level with the plants (used books to raise it for a palm), and covered the bucket with plastic wrap. I can now lock and go.
Im pleased with it overall. A month-long vacation ended in waterlogged houseplants despite following instructions. My low-water plants got more than I wanted. The product works, just test it a couple of weeks before leaving and be cautious.
This has worked reasonably well for me, although it has some limitations. All units worked at first with visible daily water-level drops. A week ago one bottle stopped dropping. I cleaned and soaked the unit overnight and used the push-cap bubble test in a clear glass to confirm the line is blocked, and it is. I was about to buy more and now I'm worried the rest will clog too.
It does the job, but it took some figuring out. I set them up per the only instructions available, 5 uncaptioned pictures on the box, with the basin ABOVE pot level. Overnight the water ran continuously through six pots, soaking drip trays, windowsills, and carpet. I found the detailed flow instructions only later, hidden in the product description. I replaced them with plain string wicks from basin to soil, which kept nearly all plants healthy for a week. One cone arrived broken (thin windowed box shipped in a bubble envelope) and I glued it. I may retry the cones on my thirstiest plant.
This has worked very well for me. Great for a week or even a month away with no plant sitter. Tips: soak the stakes, hose, and cap for a day before use, fill the ceramic tube to the top, place the hose in the water source THEN connect the cap, and keep the bottom of the hose below the plant to avoid overwatering.
I'm impressed with how well this works. Indoor and outdoor plants were alive after a 3-week vacation (someone checked the the reservoir level). I recommend a trial run to gauge water needs. Direct comparison: watering globes release too much water while these give a steady slow stream. I use globes only on lesser plants now because these are pricey to put everywhere, but I plan to buy more and retire the globes.
I'm really happy with this system. Great for dry climates needing constant moisture. The soil stays damp, never soggy. Follow the 15-minute soak, watch delivery closely the first 2-3 days, then set and forget with a full vessel.
This has worked very well for me. I run dozens 24/7/365 including hanging plants. Rules: water to optimal moisture before staking, and never let the basin run dry even a day or the stake needs re-soaking. Honest negatives: they randomly stop working maybe once every few months across dozens (check when a basin hasn't needed refilling), I wish they were cheaper since it's just clay, rubber, and plastic, and the hose and basin grow slime and algae over time and need cleaning.
I'm really happy with this system. It was a last-minute solution before three weeks away. I followed online advice, crossed my fingers, and came home to green thriving plants with water still in the the reservoir, unlike other products that dumped all my water into the pots. Planning a permanent sunroom setup and more sets.
This has been a great addition to my garden. I noticed the it-killed-my-plant reviews all skipped one step happy users mention: the 15-minute pre-soak. I did it, and two weeks in the cooler-turned-reservoir is dropping and the soil is moist. Now I'm confident for a month of travel.
Unfortunately, this did not work out for me. I own many and have had every failure mode: floods that killed several plants (one overflowed the pot reservoir onto a shelf), and regular silent dry-outs where the vessel still looks full but the cone is empty and hasn't worked for who knows how long, despite checking every few days. The green caps are hard to seat, and refills usually mean pulling the whole unit out and spilling dirt. What made this 1 star: I contacted customer service explaining the scale of the problem and got zero reply, not even an acknowledgment. Still trying because of the sunk investment but I cannot recommend.
This has worked very well for me. Super easy setup via the video, and a gallon covers a few weeks set-and-forget. Only fault: the tubing could be longer. Watering 3 larger plants requires clustering them near the water source.
This has been a great addition to my garden. I did a 3-unit trial: two worked immediately, the third needed re-submerging to fill the clear parts and hose. All fine after weeks, so I ordered 3 more. I use gallon water bottles (small opening means less evaporation) with marker lines to track usage, and I estimate a month plus per gallon even for a 15in plant.
I'm impressed with how well this works. Two months in, they do what they claim IF primed per the video. I confirmed the spec of about 75ml per day per stake with my own measurement. Multiple stakes help large pots, but soil moisture self-limits at the level where water stops leaking through. The question is whether your plant likes that level. A two-week absence went well.
I'm really happy with this system. I ran these against globes for 3 weeks of orchid care: the globes failed, the stakes succeeded. I dont fully understand the wicking even after the videos, but the orchid medium stayed moist, the reservoir dropped proportionately and I returned to flourishing orchids. Seems like a gimmick but it's science that works.
