Complete Blumat Drip irrigation system for up to 12 plants. Includes 12 ceramic-tip sensors (each with drip tube and connector), 23 feet of 8 mm feeding tube, a tank connector for reservoir or rain barrel installs, and a full set of fittings — couplings, tees, elbows, and end-pieces — to route the supply line through your layout. Designed for gravity-fed watering from a reservoir, rain barrel, or any elevated water tank.
Make sure your pots and beds are watered to the moisture level you want them to stay at. Install the tank connector in a reservoir 24-36 inches above your plants. Lay the 8 mm feeding tube from the connector past each plant, using tees and elbows to route it where needed. Soak and install your sensors into the soil near each plant, connect them to the supply line, and adjust the brown valve on each sensor. Run the system for a day, then fine-tune.
A complete kit with (12) Blumat Drip sensors (11 with T-fittings, 1 with an end-piece), 23 feet of 8mm feeding tube, (1) tank connector, (1) 8-8mm hose union, (1) 8-8-8mm tee, (1) 8-8mm elbow, (1) 8-3-8mm T-piece, and (1) 8-3mm end-piece.
Best for first-time Blumat owners, balcony container gardens, porch and patio collections, vacation watering, and small raised beds — anyone watering 6 to 12 plants from a reservoir, rain barrel, or other gravity-fed water source. The kit is everything you need to build a complete reservoir-fed system without piecing it together part by part. For tap-fed installs, you'll want to swap the tank connector for a pressure reducer.
Orders ship free over $25 in 2-5 days in the continental USA. 30-day easy returns, no questions asked.
Covered by the official Blumat 3-year warranty from the date of purchase. If something does not perform as expected email help@blumatdrip.com.

Add a Blumat pressure reducer to your order
The Blumat Drip 12 Plant Kit ships ready for a reservoir or rain barrel. Running it from a tap or hose instead? You'll need a pressure reducer to drop household water pressure down to what Blumat sensors can handle.
Installation Guide
How to Set Up Your System
Takes just a few minutes. Once set up, your plants water themselves.
Step 1
Prepare the Sensors
Separate the ceramic cone from the green cap. Soak both in cool water for at least 15 minutes. Use a pipette or your thumb to push water into the cap holes and flush out any trapped air. Reassemble underwater so no air gets sealed inside.
Step 2
Water the Soil
Pre-water the pot or bed thoroughly before installation. The sensor calibrates against the current moisture level, so the soil needs to be evenly moist at the start.
Step 3
Place & Connect
Push the ceramic cone into the soil near the root zone until it is fully buried. Cut your 8 mm supply line and insert the included T-piece. Attach the 3 mm drip tube from the sensor to the T-piece.
Step 4
Set the Flow
Open the adjustment screw counterclockwise until water drips visibly. Slowly tighten clockwise until you reach a hanging drop, then tighten two more arrow marks. That sets your baseline.
Reservoir height matters
A gravity-fed system needs the water level in your reservoir to sit at least 12 inches above your plants for steady flow. Higher is better — 2 to 3 feet is ideal for full systems with all 12 sensors running. If sensors at the end of the system have low pressure compared to the front, raise the reservoir.
Don't let the reservoir run dry
Once a gravity-fed system runs out of water, sensors can lose their water seal and stop sensing soil moisture properly, which can cause flooding when you refill. Keep the reservoir above 1/4 full at all times.
PLANT DRIVEN WATERING
Never Water Your Plants Again
Most watering systems run on a timer. Ours runs on a plant. No timers, electricity, or apps needed. Set it up in 30 minutes with only a pair of scissors. Powering greenhouses and home gardens across Europe since 1965 and now available in the USA.
Soil Stays Evenly Moist
The cone opens the water line when soil dries, then stops as moisture returns.
Each Plant Decides
Every sensor works independently, so thirsty and shaded plants can share one system.
Rain Friendly
Unlike a timer, the system reacts to actual soil moisture after rain or cool weather.
Built to Expand
Add more sensors, tubes and drippers as your porch or garden grows.
Root-Zone Watering
Water goes where roots use it, helping reduce waste and surface evaporation.
Made for Travel
Set it up before a trip and come home to plants that kept drinking on demand.
What's in the Box?
12 Tropf-Blumat Sensors
Each sensor is a 5-inch ceramic-tip moisture valve with an attached 3 mm drip tube — one per plant. Eleven come with T-piece connectors for inline installation; the twelfth has an end-piece for the final sensor in your line.
23 Feet of 8 mm Feeding Tube + Tank Connector
A 23-foot roll of black 8 mm supply tube to carry water from your reservoir to every sensor, plus the tank connector that turns any bucket, rain barrel, or garbage can into a Blumat Drip reservoir.
Full Set of 8 mm Fittings
Couplings, tees, elbows, and end-pieces in matching 8 mm sizes — everything you need to route the supply line through corners, branches, and stopping points.
Plant-Controlled Watering
How Blumat Drip Works
Water Pressure Powers the Supply
The system runs on gravity through a reservoir/rain barrel or connects to a hose spigot with a Blumat Pressure Reducer.
One Line Reaches Every Plant
An 8 mm supply tube runs from your water source past each plant in the system. At every plant, a sensor taps into the line — ready to release water only when its plant calls for it.
Dry Soil Creates Suction
The ceramic tip sits in the soil at root level. As the soil dries, it draws on the water sealed inside the ceramic — creating suction tension that pulls a diaphragm down inside the sensor.
The Valve Opens, Water Flows
The diaphragm opens a tiny valve in the 3 mm drip tube. Water flows from the pressurized supply line, through the sensor, straight to the plant — only the amount the soil is currently asking for.
Wet Soil Closes the Valve
Once the soil is moist again, suction tension releases. The diaphragm rises, pinching the drip tube shut. The plant waters itself again only when it dries out — without you ever lifting a finger.
