Each Micro-Spray Pot Stake is adjustable by turning the top On/Off Control Valve (MLT-BVA) to water from 0 to 8 GPH by releasing drops of water or up to a 2-ft radius half-circle downward fan spray pattern.
Use these Micro-Spray Pot Stakes to gently water hanging baskets and potted plants.
Install by running a piece of 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing to the plant from the 1/2-inch Poly Tubing using a 1/4-in Vinyl Barb X Barb Coupler (MLT-BXB).
Use either of our punch tools (MLA-51 or MLA-TOOL) to snap a hole into the 1/2-inch Poly Tubing to install the 1/4-in Vinyl Barb X Barb Coupler.
Push the end of the 1/4-inch Vinyl Tubing onto the top of the 1/4-inch barbed inlet of the stake and by using the built-in depth and direction arrow, place the stake near the base of the plant.
Also, use our 1/4-in Tees (MLT-TEE) and 1/4-in Elbows (MLT-ATE) to run the 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing in opposing directions or in tight corners to supply water to these Micro-Spray Pot Stakes.
