Will this help with taking care of my plants while I'm on vacation? i.e. slowly release moisture when plants aren't being watered regularly?

This product doesn't really work and the chemicals Miricle grow uses helps support the killing of all the bees. (If they die, the bees are taking us with them) To help with your problem, there are many YouTubes on that problem or I suggest searching Amazon for dripping Springs Olla irrigation pots. It is tremendously worth it, if you have Amazon prime for the free shipping. It's only $45 a year if your a student.

It will help extend time between waterings but not by much. My experience is that this product can extend the time between waterings 1 or 2 days for thirsty plants. Probably not the extra time you are looking for unless you take short vacations.

Yes. Depending on how long you will be gone. You need to mix it in good under the dirt. I added it to my 2 very large house plants. I did have to water them every other day, but now just once a week. Follow the directions and add plenty. The bags are small. I had to add a full bag and a half to each of my plants.

After each watering, the Miracle-Gro Water Storing Crystals swell to absorb many times its own weight in water, releasing it throughout the season, as necessary. If you will be gone for very long, you may want to have someone check the plants on a regular basis.

i have my drawers set at max humidity! and it seems to work on my leafy greens which i store for a few days. hope this helps.

Yes, over time the mist is likely to get whatever surface is under it wet. The fan helps spread the mist through the air, and if you have the unit off the floor (on a table or other sturdy place) it would help keep things dry, but depending on weather and humidity and sunshine, you are likely to have at the very least a damp surface. See my review below.

You can set the frequency and duration of the watering cycle. For the larger plants you would place more watering lines to than the medium sized one. I would suggest doing an experimental run first and make adjustments accordingly before you actually need to be gone for 10 days. Also keep in mind humidity and temperature in the area where the plants are being kept because these can affect the water usage.

No- this unit doesn't put out a ton of moisture- you are only filling it with appx 1/4 cup water, and it never steams all of it out. I would recommend a regular humidifier for what you need.

yes, it does help, as long as the problem is not too bad. I find I have to re-charge it about every other week (which is all I check it), but it generally keeps ahead of basic dampness.

I found it to be great for low light loving plants. Best if you don't move the plants around or vacuum.

i noticed that on mine also, i just rinse it out when i refill it. plants are doing fine so i assume it works regardless.

It takes a small break to build full steam back up if you use it constantly. Not a problem really, mine builds back up quickly!

Don't use it during heavy rainfall. The moisture will distribute it deep into the soil in a diluted state. Where as a light rain might actually enhance its effectiveness by evenly delivering it to the roots of your plants.

I think this is a better question for the company providing the product. My plants are alive and flourishing without much effort on my part. Inexpensive and worth the investment.

No. That is a good thing. This product is meant to be watered in for slow release.

Not really. The more humid it is, the worse this does. You can get it to continue working with ice and such, but then you're not really getting actual effect from the device as much as a fan over a thing of ice/iced water.

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.

My advise is make some tests before you leave. You need to make sure you dont run out of water too quickly and also to keep cycles in such a way that you dont run out of batteries. If you flush the plants with water, plants will have enough already then do perhaps 2 short cycles 12 sec or so per day or perhaps one daily 16 20 sec

I bought this hose and have used it with a MELNOR Digital Water Timer - Set it to water every day for 20 minutes in the Summer and my plants thrived. B/c it's a soaker hose you don't always see it as doing a ton of watering (esp if you bury it under the mulch) but it did give my plants the water they needed at the root system.

It leaves a small amount of water on the bottom. You can just pour it into the next bottle that you are going to be using...or you can use it to water your plants!!
