how do you hook it to a water source? and if i have a hanging plant will it draw water from a couple of feet below it?

You would have to take the plant down while away unless you want to hang the water source up there with it . You need to be just below the cap on the spike for your water source . Going lower will slow or stop the flow and going higher will speed it up .

You put the end of the tubing in a jar which becomes the water source. I doubt if the jar is below the plant this system would work.

you don't hook it to anything. You place the free end in a bottle or tank of water. You are supposed to have the water source lower than the pot, but I don't think it'll go two feet. The tubing itself is maybe 1.5 feet if that.

You can place the water at the base of the plant. I use a large supply of water with fertilizer in it so my plants get fed & watered while I'm away.

Water will drain out. By the way, I harvested only one tomato from my plant. Was a VERY hot summer though.

With a plant hook. It's actually very lightweight . It can be hung from drywall with a fairly lightweight hook.

I'm not sure I understood your question? it works great, as a water source will be great, just make sure the water volume meets your demand

We have ours hooked to a hose that runs from the outdoor water faucet to our garden since the garden is about 75' from the faucet. It would certainly hook up directly to the faucet as well.

I draw water from about 5-feet below the surface. The discharge is about 6-feet above surface. It pushes water up about 2-feet and out about 8 to 10 feet. The discharge end is just the 2-nich opening. Hope this helps.

I put a 100 watt flood lamp hanging from the ceiling. Just be careful lamp doesn't touch vinyl top or sides and use general safety precautions when using extension cords. Also, make sure everything is unplugged before watering. I also had all connections out of the weather. This is my second year with this greenhouse and I love it. I only wish they had designed it so you could remove the end opposite the door and had a method of ties so they could be "daisy-chained" together for making a longer unit.

Hollow wall with holes in bottom so if the hollow wall is filled with water the planter will get the water from the hollow walls, so probably yes.

Sorry to say I did not have much luck with them. I found that if I put the water on the ground next to the pot it would draw up the water. I resorted to the orange plastic tips that screw onto plastic bottle. You just poke them in the dirt next to the plant and the soil does the rest. They worked well for a 1 week vacation. Also found on Amazon on prime.

As this sits on the ground if you block the bottom you won't have drainage and plants can drown I the water. You may need a table top planter, they are great because you don't have to bend over to work on the plants

I hung mine with thin wire to a pipe on the ceiling,but it can also be hung using a plant hook.

Yep it hooks up to the water hose. My husband sets it by the garden and the water runs into that. So he cleans fish and waters the garden at the same time.

no one knows how or where you will want it hung. so they don't provide any thing extra except for short piece's of rope. maybe you have trees to hang it from, or patio posts or wall mount anchors like i used for two contact points and two tress for the other end.use longer ropes. i used garage door lift wire for one end to a tree because s red squirrel chewed thru it to get the rope for its nest

In the back near the bottom of the unit, is a little nozzle you unplug and the water comes out. You can connect it with a piece of silicon tubing. Or just bring a small container to catch the water, I still use it and it works fine. Not a bad air condition.

You place the tubing in a jug of water (such as an empty milk jug). The water level in the jug must be below the soil level of the plant.

No. I have it on a shelf above my plant and it just doesn't release water consistently over time. You can't trust it with your plant. We came back after vaca and the plants were dead.
