Commercial-Grade Precision for Potted Plants

Whether you are managing a large-scale commercial nursery or setting up your home garden for the spring growing season, the 1/8" Spot Spitters (5-Pack) deliver exceptional convenience and water-saving efficiency. Designed to output a 160-degree downward cone spray, these rigid stakes ensure that water is distributed evenly across the soil surface without wetting delicate foliage. By running 1/2" mainline tubing past your pots and branching off with micro tubing, you can establish a robust, reliable container irrigation system in minutes.

Why Choose Spot Spitters?
  • Downward Spray Pattern: The unique 160-degree downward cone directs water straight into the root zone, reducing evaporation and preventing fungal diseases associated with wet leaves.
  • Built-In Shutoff: The bottom of each 4 3/4" stake features a convenient shutoff plug. If a container is empty or a plant is removed, simply detach the tubing from the top and plug it onto the bottom to halt the flow.
  • Color-Coded Sizing: Easily identify your flow rates at a glance. Available in Orange (4.2 GPH), Green (11.4 GPH), and Black (15 GPH) to perfectly match container sizes ranging from 1 to 20 gallons.
  • Commercial Durability: Engineered for professional growers dealing with balled rootstock and heavy nursery traffic, these stakes are tough, simple, and reliable.

How to Install the Spot Spitters

Configure your container irrigation network in four simple steps.

Step 1: Punch the Mainline
Use a punch tool to create a clean hole in your 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch poly mainline tubing near the container you wish to water.

Step 2: Insert Transfer Barb
Push a 1/8-inch transfer barb directly into the newly punched hole until it clicks securely into place.

Step 3: Connect Micro Tubing
Attach one end of a length of 1/8-inch micro tubing to the transfer barb, and run the tubing up into your plant container.

Step 4: Attach and Stake
Slide the other end of the 1/8-inch micro tubing onto the top connection point of the Spot Spitter, then push the stake firmly into the soil.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Spot Spitters good for my spring nursery containers?
Yes, Spot Spitters are ideal for spring nursery setups. Their 160-degree downward spray pattern uniformly hydrates the root zone without wetting foliage, which prevents fungal diseases in densely packed potted plants.

The downward angle also keeps water confined to the pot, reducing water waste and keeping your walkways dry.

How do I turn off an individual Spot Spitter if a pot is empty?
Each Spot Spitter features a convenient shutoff plug built directly into the bottom of the stake. Simply pull the 1/8-inch tubing off the top and attach it to the bottom plug to stop water flow completely.

What tubing do I need to connect the Spot Spitters?
You need 1/8-inch micro tubing and a 1/8-inch transfer barb to successfully connect the Spot Spitter directly to your 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch mainline poly tubing.

Which color Spot Spitter do I need for a 10-gallon tree pot?
For a 10-gallon container, you should use the Green Spot Spitter. It delivers 11.4 GPH with a 16-inch spray radius, making it the perfect size for pots ranging from 5 to 15 gallons.

✔ Compatibility Check

Please note the requirements for this unit:

  • Specific Tubing Required: These stakes specifically require 1/8" Micro Tubing and 1/8" Transfer Barbs. Standard 1/4" tubing is too large and will slip off the connections.
  • Optimal Pressure: Designed to operate efficiently around 20 PSI. Consider using a pressure regulator to ensure even spray radiuses across your entire system.

Complete Your System

Ensure your container network is fully equipped with these recommended products:

  • 1/2" Mainline Tubing: Run this poly tubing past your containers to act as the primary water supply.
  • Key Punch Tool: Easily puncture clean holes in your mainline to insert the 1/8" transfer barbs.
  • Water Filter: Prevent small debris from clogging the micro-pathways of the spray stakes.
