Hydrofarm Basket Drip Stake w/Cage

Nature irrigates from above, and so do these commercial-grade drip stakes. With them, you can assemble a superior, virtually clog-free irrigation system. Top-down irrigation also has the advantage of preventing the accumulation of fertilizer salts.

Technical Data

• Brand: Hydrofarm | Type: Drip stake with basket and wire cage for drip irrigation
• The basket design prevents substrate from entering while allowing water to exit
• The wire cage keeps the stake upright in loose substrates such as coco and rockwool
• Connects to standard 1/4 in drip tubing for targeted irrigation to the root zone
• Suitable for container crops, coco slabs, and rockwool block drip systems

How to use

• Connect the 1/4 in drip tubing to the stake inlet and insert it into the substrate surface
• Place the basket near the base of the plant to irrigate the root zone directly
• Ensure the basket is level to ensure even water distribution in the root zone
• Purge the tubing and stakes weekly to prevent salt buildup in the dripper basket
• Replace if the basket mesh is clogged or the stake is damaged
