"geinius in compariosn" excuse me but I suffer from extreme chronic poain, and when in a hurry will make a few typos . If you had any idea of my level of suffering over thae last 30 years and no end in sight, you would give me credit for at least trying to help out rather than trying to mock me !
That's really going to add to the attractiveness of the houseplant isn't it?
oh you are just so funny, but no the device is removed when finished watering, as I explained, as if I should have even had to ,but obviously I do, and yet some people still dont get it !
Yoiu can make one in about 5 minutes, using it means simply putting it on top of the soil, and then taking it off when the water has drained. it was about 30 grams ! More trouble than its worth, lol, I should have known to expect the first comment to be so ridicuilous, just because \I am new to this site, and some people here have thousands of post. Just because I only have one topic posted here doesnt mean I am some little kid, and you are some super geinius in compariosn just because you have tens f thousands of posts here !
Are you implying that it's ok to dismiss the ideas of 'some little kid' .... but not your idea because you're not one?

It does seem an overly complex way to water a plant. again LOL ,it ISNT COMPLEX AT ALL, you can make it in about 5 minutes and I will be making them for sale at some point so you wont have to spend so much energy and time ,if 5 minutes is just too much , but apparantly it is for some people. It takes about 2 seconds to put in place on top of soil ,and 2 second to take it off. It will SAVE TIME AND ENERGY by not having to go around the pot with the waterig can which can be several pounds ,which can be an issue with people woith arthritis ,or are just getting old etc !
Even of you direct your hose/watering can at the same spot every time, the water will naturally permeate around the pot and all the roots will benefit
This comment is simply totally untrue,and is the main reason I invented this device in the first place. I have seen the results when I even tried moving the can all around the surface of the soil, which was that there were plenty of dry pockets, and others that were just soaked ! Im sure there are many people here who also know whow false this statement is , wheter or not they will actually siupport me at this point ,who knows.
The thing is you'd need one of these for every size pot you have if you want even coverage, then more again for plants with different sized stems or multiple stems. You're bound to find some plants that won't fit any of them or maybe you have a display pot with several different types of plant in there. I've got maybe 60 house plants in 20 or 30 different sized and shaped pots and none of them fit a standard shape like this. I've also never had any problems watering them and getting dry spots as you describe but let's ignore that for now. By the time I've got all these things set up in the right pots I'd have finished watering using a watering can. Also what stops the water flowing out at a faster rate through the slit or through the bit around the stem?
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
@stevekeays - there is no way on this forum to tell how old/infirm/impaired/experienced or otherwise a poster is unless you complete the profile section when registering or say so in your post. I'm afraid your attitude is off-putting, judgemental and not designed to win friends. There are all sorts of different ages, sizes and levels of health on these boards - as you will discover if you stick around and get to know us.
As for watering indoor plants, I do indeed go round with a watering can but also give my plants a regular shower to clean their foliage of dust and a soak then a good draining period to make sure their pots are uniformly watered but not water-logged. Works for me.
For my pots, your device would have to be cut to cope with assorted stem, trunk and crown sizes for multi-stemmed plants. Too much faff for me.
However, if it works for you, that's great.
