How Do Cowbells Work?

World's first pressure-regulated technology lets plants drink on-demand for over 2 weeks without overwatering

Plants Drink On-Demand Using Capillary Action

Plant roots and soil can use capillary action to absorb water from Cowbell's vacuum-sealed water reservoir.

As your plant drinks, water and air leaves the reservoir, causing the pressure inside to also continually decrease.

A pressure-release valve inside the lid automatically opens and closes based on the plant's needs to regulate the pressure, letting air in and water out.

Precison-Pore Watering Spike

The Cowbell spike cone is made from natural porcelain engineered with precise pores that allow water to diffuse.

Because the reservoir is vacuum-sealed, water will not constantly drip from the spike by itself.

Cowbells are not drip irrigation systems.

Vacuum-Sealing Lid

Cowbell's lid keeps water in the reservoir suspended in a precise vacuum so water will not drip from the system into your plant by itself.

Pressure-Regulating Valve

Once the pressure inside the reservoir decreases to a specific level, the lid valve automatically opens and closes to let air in, which equalizes the pressure inside the reservoir, letting water diffuse from the cone to hydrate your plant.

Let Your Plants Water Themselves!

That's how Cowbell's technology is able to let different plants self-regulate their own hydration needs.

On average, one Cowbell Classic should keep a plant in a 6"-9" planter hydrated for ~2 weeks and up to 4 weeks.

One Cowbell Mini should keep a plant in a 3"-5" planter hydrated for ~2 weeks and up to 4 weeks.
