I've read that they are good for plants. Do they slowly release their water in the plant? Can you reuse them?

Yes it slowly releases water. They can be reused once they dehydrate. I regret green onions using these.

I have stored them just like how they come and have had no problems. If they do dry out a bit you can rehydrate them with a little soak. I stored mine in the cupboard. Happy gardening!

I wouldnt release them all indoors if its your home. Indoors is fine if you have a grow room or greenhouse. Outdoors, mist the plants with water and wait till evening when the sun is going down. They will disperse looking for food and water. If the plants are wet, they will stick around and lay eggs, but if not, they will fly off looking for water and food. Best investment I've made in my aquaponic garden yet!

They don't recommend using again but I do use them twice if its something like lemons or carrots. They really do extend the life of the produce so I find them worthwhile.

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.

Yes, it could be used for watering plants. If I were to use it for that I would not pump it to a high pressure because it might actually wash the soil out of the plant's container as you will need to adjust the flow nozzle to a more open position than is commonly used for spraying insecticides and herbicides. Additionally if you are watering plants in hanging containers the bend at the spray end of the wand is insufficient for directing the water into the container. However the addition of pipe fittings can be a method of increasing the bend at the end of the wand.

They are doing fine as long as you don't over water them. I prefer misting them with rain water in between small weekly waterings.

They are amazing for Aeroponics. I have used these in both DWC and aeroponic cloning. For best results, mix a small solution of ph'd water, root starter, and whatever organics/nutes you want and just dip these plugs into the mix. No needs to soak because these retain water and nutrients quite well. Place seed/clones in plug and put it into your aeroponic system...works like a charm. Enjoy!

I only use them outdoors. We live in dry south central NM and they are my insurance that my plants get water when they need it.

You can re-use them, but they do not collapse back down. Once they are wet they stay as they are in my experience.

I use them for that purpose too, but it depends on the requirements of the plant. Look up the recommended balance of nutrients and if they are in line with with a 4-4-4 plant food then they will work.

Yes, it works well for watering plants. It has many different settings so you can use a lighter one for delicate plants and a heavier one for things like trees that need a lot of water. Just be careful not get any dirt on the top of the nozzle, it's really hard to clean and it's hard to close the nozzle.

I use them for broccoli and have reused them. Still steams perfectly. Never an issue with reusing them.

I don't think so. But should be good for watering plants. Thats what I use it for

I did not soak them overnight. Mine didn't come up but that doesn't mean they won't work for you. I have had success in the past. My soil is salty and it's difficult to find plants that will work.
