    Cowbell is unlike any other self-watering product you've used before!

    Cowbell's pressure-regulated reservoir and lid keeps water suspended in a precise vacuum which means water doesn't drip by itself.

    Plant roots and soil draw water from Cowbell only as needed using natural biology and physics processes like root pressure, capillary action, cohesion tension and water diffusion.

    Once the pressure inside the reservoir reaches a certain threshold, the lid valve automatically equalizes the pressure. This means your plant roots never have to work too hard to draw water from the reservoir, while also preventing Cowbell from dripping unnecessary water into your plant.

    No over-watering! No root rot! No water waste!

    Science is awesome.

    *Please note all plants are unique and some may drink slower or faster than 2 weeks depending on a variety of factors like plant type, plant age, ambient temperature, soil type, container size, container type, season, and prior watering habits. If you have any questions, please reach out to our 24/7 plant care help line. 1-888-98-PLANT

    Set up your Cowbell in minutes!

    • Water your plant well before use for the longest-lasting results. Don't worry about overwatering, Cowbell will wait until your plant has used up the water in the soil before drinking from Cowbell.
    • Twist and tighten the spike onto reservoir
    • Bury the spike into damp soil
    • Fill your reservoir with clean water.
    • Let spike saturate for 15 mins with lid off
    • Top up any drained water and seal with lid
    • Refill every 2 weeks.

    Cowbell does not need to be cleaned regularly. But if you'd like for it to look pristine, it is easy to clean!

    If you use Cowbell outdoors or in direct sun, or if you fill your Cowbell with rainwater, you may find some natural algae growth in the reservoir after a few months.

    We recommend twisting off the spike and handwashing the reservoir with soap and water.

    We don't recommend putting the lid or reservoir in the dishwasher as it may cause some warping at extremely high temperatures. 

    The spike and cone are dishwasher safe but you can also rinse it by hand or clean it with a scrub brush if you find that anything has plugged the ceramic cone.


    We stand behind the quality of our products and will replace any components within one year of purchase, excluding spikes. We recommend replacing your spikes every 6-12 months with regular use!

    If you have any issues with your Cowbell, please reach out to us at hi@cowbellplant.com and we'll do our best to make it right.

    You will receive an email or text when your order has left our Florida warehouse!

      Wittle beebee

      One thing I love about the cowbells, whether 750 or mini’s is how they seamlessly blend into the pots they are hosted in. Hardly an eye soar, they arent bothersome whatsoever. Just remember to top off the water once a week (at least now in winter) and youre chillen. Love these little guys. Highly recommended

      Cowbell Mini Number 3 and counting!

      This is the third Cowbell Mini we have ordered and could not be happier with the product. I hate to say it but our plants are doing BETTER with the Cowbell in place than they were when we were watering them ourselves. The product is well designed, well constructed and comes with a great set of instructions. Highly recommended for those of us with less-than-green thumbs.

      Better than the aqua globe

      I had aqua globes in my mom’s plants growing up and every problem they had, from the glass breaking to dirt clogging, the cowbell has fixed and improved upon! The science behind this is amazing.

      Plant Game CHANGER!!!!

      Ok guys .... I was skeptical.. I mean - come on!! A little tube like situation of water is going to know how to water my plants the right amount?? I bought 4... then I bought 4 more... then I bought a 6 pack! These are a GAME CHANGER!!!!! Plants that weren't doing well before are now thriving. I never have to worry about too much or too little anymore! I fill the cowbell when it gets close to empty and don't think about watering AT ALL! Myy plants have never looked so good and everyone thinks I have a green thumb to rival Martha Stewart! These are truly an INCREDIBLE product. Try just one.. I bet you'll instantly wish you'd ordered enough for all your plants!

      I had to place a second order just to get these cuties. My smaller plants need them.

      Now I have one cowbell installed in each plant.

      Beautiful design, great functionality

      I work most of the day and have a large collection of plants. I needed a system to help alleviate the responsibility of watering and maintenance of my plants without making me get rid of some of them. This is a great solution - it works wonderfully and looks very appealing

      Returned from trip to a healthy bonsai!

      I travel quite a bit but also inherited an old bonsai from my dad recently. I was really worried about not killing this 50 yo plant when I had to be in Europe for work for a month.

      I tried Cowbell on one of them and can’t believe it actually worked well! Just ordered a few more for the other plants.
