Do you suffer from worry over what to do with your precious plants when you go on vacation?
You have made a significant investment in your plants. You have nurtured, cared for, and coddled them for months and even years!
How are your babies going to get the life-sustaining WATER that they need?
Helpful Hint...
Watering Rocks Portable Automatic Irrigation Drip System Kits water where you can’t because there is no water source and when you can’t because of your busy schedule or vacation.
You may be lucky enough to have a family member or neighbor who is willing to come over and water. However, if you don’t, your answer is certainly going to be a system that will water when and where you can’t.
The Vacation Plant Watering System
These sturdy, durable plastic (no BPA) rocks come in decorative White Granite and Sandstone colors. They are lightweight (4 lbs empty) and measure 12” high, 14” deep and 16” wide. Believe it or not, that size holds 5 gallons of water plus any added nutrients.
That five-gallon supply will water your plants for 2 to 3 days and provide plenty of moisture. The rock will take care of your plants, watering them 24/7 while you are away having a blast.
Did you know?
The 5-gallon rock can water for 2-3 days or even more depending on how you set the included 6 adjustable drippers.
The system includes 15 feet of 1/4” drip line to carry the water. Six 1/4 inch adjustable drippers control the amount of drip to the area you want. Five 1/4” T-barbs are used to make branches off the line to the areas you want to water. A threaded 1/4” barb screws into the threaded hole on the bottom back of the rock for the main line hook up.
It seems like it would be complicated but it’s not. Once you see how the components work together you can design the watering configuration you desire. Assembly of the vacation plant watering system probably takes about one-half hour. We are always available to assist by email or through our website.
Helpful Hint...
Combine 2 or 3 rocks in tandem and water easily for more than a week.
Water for More Than 2 to 3 Days
Use one Watering Rock to fill the other rock and double the watering time. While adding another rock triples the watering time. We thought about manufacturing a 25-gallon rock and may someday, but felt the 5 gallon was the best size to start with and offers the most flexibility for size and configuration.
This vacation plant watering system has proven itself many times. There are some excellent testimonials and reviews out there to confirm that they do work and do work well.
The rocks use pressure from the volume in the rock along with gravity to facilitate precise water flow which makes them completely portable requiring no electric.
Helpful Hint...
Watering Rocks are easily filled from the covered hole on the back of the
rock.
Just make sure the drip lines are flat to downward sloping. If you need your water to go vertical see our product Hanging Basket Automatic Portable Irrigation Drip Systems, which includes an electric pump.

What They Say
I recently hung a couple hanging flower planters from my back deck. It was a little awkward reaching up to water them everyday. I found the Watering Rock and that solved the problem! The Rock sits on top of my deck with the tubing running down to the planters. Much easier!

What They Say
Good for our needs, fake rock looks good in garden, being able to fill it up and water five plants on a bit of a hillside/ bank works out quite well for our needs, set up is easy, you just have to play with the drip rate. Like the idea of this, saves watering some areas that don’t need water, ie dirt,rocks in yard. gets to the base or rink around plants.
