      The Plant Nanny is not an Antique. Even today Amazon & Temu sells them. They come in a six pack or more. They are to stick in a hanging or potted basket to add water in. Some people put them next to a plant I in their container gardens.. It is to slowly water a plant. I so enjoy your thrifty finds. Funny how we look at some item & can’t figure out what is this used for. Then someone kindly tells us & it makes since THANKS FOR SHARING

    Tessie, you soak the plant nanny and put it in one of your pots. Then you screw in a bottle of water in the top, so that the water is pouring into your nanny. Your plants will slowly absorb the water. Janet

    Tessie your Plant nanny is a plant waterer for your container plants. You stick it into the soil and then put water into the top. The water will slowly seep out and keep your plant watered - you just need to check the soil and make sure the plant nanny always has water in it. It will not make your soil soggy. Get find. I have several of them made in glass and it helps to keep the plant healthy.
    You had a wonderful haul today. Enjoy and have a peaceful day 😊😊❤❤

    Hi Tess, I'm big on gardening here in Canada, and that terra cotta thing is a water wick! It's called many things but basically you put it in the dirt next to a plant, fill it with water, and the water slowly wicks out of the clay and keeps your plant roots moist.
    Love the videos, keep up the good work! Cheers! TK

    A "plant nanny" is a waterer for an out door plant or a potted plant. You soak it, then stick, it in the pot or ground and keep filled with water! Waters your plant so you don't have to every week! Push it into the dirt up to the glazed part! Great find! You need to invest in a more sturdy shovel! Saw it bend a little when you were digging the hole for the lemon verbena! Wish I could send you all my tools I don't use anymore!❤😊

    It’s for watering plants. Helps to save water. The unglazed part of the terracotta will slowly seep water into the pot, where the roots are. Push into ground up to glazed part, fill with water and cover with a rock. Do this fr plants that are very thirsty, or maybe a houseplant you keep forgetting to water!. Cheers.

    It looks like a version of an olla (pronounced oye-yah). You put it in the ground up to the glazed part. Fill it with water. And if possible, make a lid for it like a little cork. Then the water will slowly seep out thru the clay into the ground The lid will prevent excess evaporation and/or mosquitos. I think it was used in Spain and other Mediterranean countries

    Plant nanny is used in potted plants .you push it into the potted plant than take a long necked bottle like a glass empty wine bottle and fill with water. Turn the bottle into the plant nanny and it slowly waters indoor plants while away. I discovered these at a home I use to house sit for. You will only need to fill the bottle once a week . And it will keep plants watered. I hope this makes sense to you. Have a great day Tesse.

    Your terra cotta piece is made to fit a wine bottle or other long neck bottle. Soak the terra cotta for five minutes, fill the wine bottle with water and stick it into the top of the terra cotta and put the pointy end in the ground near your plant. It is supposed to water it for a week so you can go on vacation and the plants will be ok. Evidently, if you don't soak the terra cotta first, it will absorb the water in the bottle too quickly. Love the gathering basket.
