how long does the water last when using it for indoor plants?

I am sure it depends upon where you live and where your plants are located. I live in TX, where it is hot and hotter, and typically it lasts no more than a couple of days.

Depends on the humidity in your home. I have Air Conditioning, so the this Bulb watering systeming lasted around a 12 days on my 10 inch pots which have heavy soil. The Wine Bottles lasted over a week on my outside plants in the hot desert area where I live

If the planter is not huge and is already quite moist, I would say 2 weeks, depending on how dry the air is. I live in a desert-type area and have trouble keeping plants moist.

According to user manual, it operates from 5 to 80% humidity (avoid water condensation). I think if water gets in it's gone :-( Note that the 'famous Colorado' plant should not be kept in high humidities, and you need a dehumidifier.

I have been using on 8 plants every week and it has been over 3 months now. I just got 2 more plants, a month ago and I have enough in the bottle to last me couple more weeks at least.

Not all the time. Air plants do require a good soak 3-4 times a week depending on how dry your house is and a misting every day. But no, don't place them in water at all times other wise they'll rot. The general rule of thumb is to make sure they're dry after misting or soaking in four hours time.

I use tap water in mine. We have moderately hard water and I haven't seen any build up. I've been using it 24/7 for about 2 months. It's quiet enough for the bedroom. I'm very happy with it thus far.

Once it's full of soil & plants, it's very heavy & probably not water-tight. If you have a permanent location for it on a tile floor, maybe in a greenhouse or solarium, it might work indoors. There is an internal drip watering system, but we also water plants from the top.

I keep mine in during spring, summer and fall but put it in garage in winter and keep watered, it needs to go dormant every year.One nursery said you can keep its indoors year round, the leaves will discolor and come back. I prefer letting it go dormant.

No need to get super technical. Just pull a sample out with a cup and test it.. But honestly, you need to change ALL the water every two weeks anyway, so just set it at 5.8 AFTER you mix your nutrients in it, put the lid/plant back on the reservoir and leave it alone for the next two weeks.. The water that is.. Rain mist the plants with a water bottle daily (I put a light nutrient mix in mine) and you're golden.. Trust me

Soak for 24 hours in room temperature water, than plant in a light soil. Keep moist but not wet until it sprouts (too wet and the seed will rot)

I only use it for indoor plants but the description says it is for all indoor and outdoor plants.

I've only used it for indoor planters right now, and am very pleased so far. Haven't used it outdoors yet. I don't think the water would get "too hot", unless you're using them around sensitive plants.

I have mine indoors in a pot of cactus soil and it is growing. I don't water it but 1-2 times a month. It has grown 2 new shoots since I potted it

The directions for this class of plant always say to use distilled or rain water. i put a watering can where rain water drips off the roof and use that, or purified, or distilled. i think the issue is that the minerals in the water build up and kill the plant. it would probably take a month or more, i'd guess. in the past, my venus fly traps always died because i didn't give them enough light. their needs are similar to a cape honeydew. now i have my two carnivorous plants on the lanai (in southern florida) behind a screen that gets full sun. it's just right. they're doing well. so give 'em enough light and pure water and they should to fine. if you pick up a gallon of purified water (or distilled) from the grocery store it should last a very long time. it only costs about a buck. should last well over a month, i would think. be sure not to let it dry out. i water it so it sits in about 1/8 inch of water. when the water evaporates i put in another 1/8 to 1/4 inch. reminds me, need to check mine. i check 'em every day or two. remember too, you gotta keep 'em humid. if you're in a dry climate keep 'em in a terrarium or something that will keep their air moist. geeze, how's that for a long-winded answer!!!

We get about 4-5 gallons of "waste" water for every gallon of pure, but we carry that outside for our plants and don't mind the work involved. We think it's totally worth the effort!

As long as you want it to. The crystals inside absorb water, then slowly release the molecules as humidity. Directions say that you need to refill the water ever 2-3 months.The crystals themselves, however, don't decay or expire with long term use.

From what I've read and what I've experienced,the fertilization/nutritional aspect of the substrates depletes with time as your plants use it. How long it takes depends on how dense your aquarium is planted. My lightly planted tank last about 6 months. Just be careful with it because can change your water parameters if you get a bad batch. If you see any white specs or rocks, Do Not Use it. See my review for more info.

I use 1 tspn and a little dishwashing soap in a 1 qt spray bottle, I spray my plants every 7-14 days.
