Precision Pressure-Compensating Misting for Potted Plants
The Netafim PC Spray Stakes offer the ultimate, commercial-grade solution for nurseries, greenhouses, and extensive container gardens. Designed to deliver water and fertilizer with absolute precision, these Pressure Compensating (PC) stakes feature a unique, downward-angled spray pattern that ensures water stays entirely within the pot, eliminating soil wash-out and costly water waste. To build a complete system, these stakes pair perfectly with a Netafim Dripper Assembly (sold separately) to deliver flawlessly uniform hydration to every single container, regardless of elevation changes.
Built from highly durable, UV-protected materials, these spray stakes effortlessly handle harsh agricultural nutrient injection and demanding greenhouse climates. They are available in both single-sided and double-sided (two-sided) spray patterns to accommodate different pot sizes and root zone configurations. Furthermore, the stakes are distinctly color-coded for instant flow rate identification, ensuring your sprawling setup remains organized. Operating cleanly between 22 and 55 PSI, they require a standard 120-mesh irrigation filter to protect their fine spray nozzles from debris and clogging.
- Downward Angled Spray: The specialized spray pattern directs water downward into the soil, preventing overspray and eliminating soil wash-out from the pot.
- Pressure Compensating (PC): Ensures every single pot receives the exact same amount of water and fertilizer, even across long runs or uneven nursery benches.
- Customizable Patterns: Available in single-sided (for edge placement) and double-sided (for center placement in larger pots) spray patterns.
- Color-Coded Flows: The stakes are color-coded, making it incredibly easy to identify and match the correct flow rate for your specific plant needs.
- Agricultural Durability: Made of UV-protected, chemical-resistant materials capable of withstanding constant nutrient injection and extreme climates.

Build your container irrigation system quickly and efficiently.
Step 1: Lay Your Mainline
Run a solid 1/2″ or 3/4″ polyethylene mainline over your nursery benches or along the base of your potted plants. Ensure the system is regulated between 22 and 55 PSI.
Step 2: Insert Dripper Assemblies
Use a standard irrigation punch tool to create a hole in the mainline tubing. Press the barbed end of a Netafim Dripper Assembly firmly into the punched hole.
Step 3: Connect the Stake
Take the free end of the micro-tubing attached to the Dripper Assembly and push it securely over the barbed nipple located on the top of the Netafim PC Spray Stake.
Step 4: Position in the Pot
Press the spray stake firmly into the soil of the container. If using a single-sided stake, place it near the edge spraying inward. If using a double-sided stake, place it near the center of the pot.
