Yes the bottle is a watering bottle. I found these long watering spikes that you screw on the end of a waterbottle and they water automatically. They do a good job, I use them on the weekend mostly as these plants are at work and I cant water them and have lost plants in the past as they are in 1gal pots. I like these watering spikes as I can use various size bottles on them too. If I go on vacation I screw in a liter bottle and no worries. They dont overwater either which is good.
