How does WaterMe work?
WaterMe is made up of a ceramic sensor that detects whether the soil around it is dry. If it is, water in WaterMe is transferred out to the soil; this will create a vacuum in WaterMe causing water from the bottle to be sucked into WaterMe.
For science enthusiasts, WaterMe is based upon the science of capillary action.
What kind of bottles can I use for WaterMe?
You can use most common sized disposable bottles in the market. We have a bottle cap adapter enclosed with each WaterMe to fit smaller bottles.
How long will WaterMe feed my plants for?
WaterMe can run for as long as there is water in the water source (bottle etc).
How fast the water is used/transmitted is dependant on
1) How much water your plant needs,
2) The evaporation rate due to sunlight and humidity.
A 500ml bottle can last about 3-10 days depending on the above factors. You can use a larger bottle when you need to travel for more than 1 week.
My WaterMe bottle (water source) is empty. What do I do?
Please ensure there is always water in the bottle to prevent air from entering WaterMe.
If bottle is empty, there is no cause to be concerned. Just fill up the water bottle and soak WaterMe in water for 15 mins (for stabilization). Fill up WaterMe (remove cap) and WaterMe will run again.
My WaterMe is over-watering my plant. What do I do?
There could be two reasons why WaterMe is transferring more water than needed.
Reason 1) The water level in the bottle is higher than the WaterMe device.
Solution: Ensure that the water level in bottle is the same or lower than WaterMe device.
Reason 2) Your newly bought WaterMe has not stabilized yet.
Solution: Remove WaterMe from your plant. Open the WaterMe cap and soak WaterMe for at least 15 mins.
You can also reduce the water flow by lowering the bottle.
Note: For sandy soil, WaterMe may not work as designed as sandy soil may not be able to hold water. When WaterMe senses that the surrounding soil is dry, it will start transmitting water. Likewise if your soil is too loose, it may not hold water. WaterMe may not work for Cactus as the plant may continuously draw water for storage leading to the plant swelling.
My WaterMe is not transferring enough water. What do I do?
There could be a few reasons:
Reason 1) Your plant is rather large.
Solution: Use more than one WaterMe. One WaterMe device has been tested to work on plants up to 1m high with a pot diameter of up to 25 cm.
Reason 2) WaterMe needs cleaning inside. Your water may contain impurities like soil particles or algae which may impede water transmission. Algae forms whenever there is light, nutrients and water.
Solution: Open WaterMe cap and use your finger or tooth brush to lightly scrub the insides. You can also shoot a strong jet of water into the insides. Change the water in the bottle and fill up WaterMe with clean water.
Reason 3) Your plant has enough water. Once WaterMe senses that the soil around it is damp, it will reduce or stop water transmission. You can insert your little finger into the hole which the cone made and feel if it is moist, and if it is WaterMe is working.
Reason 4) Your soil is too dense. We have encountered a few rare cases where the soil has been drained of its nutrients (after many years) becoming clay like. You may have to put your pot under a shower and let it drench and dry. This should help soften the soil.
Solution: WaterMe can still work in these soil conditions, provided that the root is still able to receive water through WaterMe. Ensure that WaterMe is inserted nearest to its roots. Loosening the soil may help.
How do I fertilize my plant?
You can either
1) put the fertilizer direct to your plant as usual and add water, or
2) add water soluble fertilizer into the water source, mix it well and WaterMe will transmit the water with the dissolved fertilizer into your plant.
