The person I'm buying this for has jerky and limited hand movments. Does the plant need to be taken out to be watered? Or spray bottle will work?

I used to take mine out to water it but I found a spray bottle works well too. It gets a layer of film on the bottom after a while but that's really the only issue with a spray bottle. Just make sure to keep the moss moist and give it lots of sun and it'll be just fine.

Ideally they tell you to take out the air plant and soak it upside down in a little bowl. However the moss that comes in it can just be sprayed with a bottle. This is a great gift for anyone and it is inexpensive. So I would say get it, spray it with a water bottle, and if the air plant dies you can always get another or fill it with non living things. Like rocks! The glass enclosure is very attractive in a home or office!

I don't see why the spray bottle wouldn't work. Now, why didn't I think of that! How nice of you to think of giving her/him this easy-care gift.

In a shake it would be fine. I tried a few other things plain and it didn't work well. Definitely needs liquids in the jar with leafy. Good luck, enjoy!

Using a spray bottle, put about 4 ounces of water in it and put in 6 healthy drops of the oil in the bottle and shake until moxed. It won't be completely mixed (oil and water). Spray your dog 2x a day initially, see how well that works. Good luck!

I wondered that myself but didn't want to take the chance so I opened the box and followed the instructions and I plan on repackaging right before the holidays. It was very easy to just remove the plant and soak it. I keep it still in the box near a window for some light. I got them a couple of weeks ago and they look great!

no need to cut. there are small holes in the side. just fill your bottle. screw the plant water on and insert into plant. good luck

It is a granular substance that sits on top of the soil. As the plant is watered, it slowly dissolves into the soil over a period of several weeks. It is meant to be a systemic insecticide which is drawn in by the roots, so no, I don't think it would dissolve quickly and thoroughly enough to use in a sprayer. ALSO, if you pull-up the product label on-line, you could contact the manufacturer.

You can, but you must keep it moist, spray it with distilled water, reverse osmosis water, or collected rain water, make sure you collect the water from a clean source and not under a synthetic source. I hope this satisfies your answer. Also to add keep the container a quarter to have full at all times, and don't keep the plant in full sun, if you do the plant will burn and dry along with the soil.

I put mine in a pretty ash tray with some moss. Spray it every morning with water, placed under a table lamp and it now has two "babies". Seems free air is the key here.Live in Reno, NV were the air is very dry thus the spritzing every day. I do not give mine the soaking as instructed as they rot especially in the pretty round hanging terrariums. This is my fourth try with this type plantand ONLY success.

Yes, you will need to transplant it to a larger pot (I used a 5 gallon bucket with lots of holes drilled in it). But wait a few weeks before you do; the shipping process is stressful on the plant and so is re-potting, so give it some time to recover. Also, DON'T OVER WATER! I made this mistake, thinking I was pampering it; I nearly killed it. Never soak the soil fully just get it all evenly damp, let the soil dry out almost completely before you water again.

spray it with a water bottle every week or so. Depends on how dry it is in your home.

I tried this product and it only worked for about a day. You'd have to spray a bottle a day in my experience. Watering it down and maybe some SCOE10X could help.

You are so right. The lack of water from the sprayer is one of the BIG problems, this product was a complete waste of money for me and I waited a few days to long to return it!!!! we all should be given a credit or a full refund. Maryann if at all possible return it ! Good Luck!

Sort of late jumping in here but for new searchers with same question, this can be used as a foliage feed. What I usually do is spray leaves till good and wet on a day when the sun won't dry it up too fast or toward the end of the day. Then pour some around the soil so the roots can get a drink with what is left.

This houseplant vitamin is awesome and works great in any medium, including water, soil, water beads, etc. However, it sounds like your plant is in overwatered soil. Is that possible? If so, let it dry out "just" to where the leaves start to lose their stiffness and then water with Miracle Gro Root Stimulator. Then in a couple of weeks, start feeding with the Miracle Gro liquid houseplant food, 1 capful to a gallon of water and make sure your plant has good drainage so it isn't sitting in saturated soil. You might transplant your plant to Miracle Gro water control potting soil. That might help as well. I use Miracle Gro products on all my plants and I'm said to have a "green" thumb. Let me know how it goes.

Yes, it does have to be diluted. Most plants 3oz per gallon of water.House plants 0.42oz a pint.Good stuff,works great for me.

I mix it according to the directions and put it in a pump up sprayer. If you are in the sun you need to work fast or it will dry before you get it rinsed. I was using it on semi trailers and used it too quickly so will probably try to thin it a little farther next time so a bottle will go farther

All of the liquids I've used in it are water based, so spraying plain water should be no problem. The spray pattern is circular and a fairly fine mist, which would be good for the leaves of plants. It may take a while to soak the ground under the plant if this is what you want to do. The wand is 3 ft. in length, my only criticism. A longer wand would make it easier to reach into plant beds in your case and into road ditches in my case. Hope this helps. Also see handle pin replacement recommendation from another reviewer. I did this and it is worth doing.
