How Cowbells Work

Root-Controlled, On-Demand Watering

Plant roots and soil use capillary action to wick water from Cowbell's porcelain spike.

This capillary action causes the pressure inside the Cowbell reservoir to change.

The pressure change activates a thirst sensor inside the Cowbell lid to automatically open and close, letting air and water out based on the plant's needs.

Removable Lid with Thirst SensorA pressure-regulating valve opens and closes based on the pressure change in the reservoir to regulate air and water flow. (Similar to when you put your finger over a straw to stop water flow.)
  • No batteries required
Shatter-proof ReservoirOur unique BPA-Free PET looks and feels like sea glass but won't shatter or start fires in the sun!
  • Easy to clean
  • Refill without removing from plant
  • 4× lower carbon footprint vs glass
  • Safe around kids and pets
Porcelain Watering SpikeCapillary action in the roots wick moisture through Cowbell's porous porcelain cone. The cone is protected by an outer anchoring spike.
