In our “How-to” section, we explain to you briefly and understandably how to use Scheurich products correctly.
Today we have decided for our watering device Bördy and one thing in advance: Our “instructions” applies to all sizes of the Bördys! (S, M, XL and XXL)
The Bördy is the clever watering device which provides your plants with enough water to protect them from drying out.
You can find more information about Bördy here on our website.
Our little friend with the big beak has developed in recent years into an instant classic, which has found at least one home in many apartments and on even more balconies. Not for nothing was the Bördy XL of Stiftung Warentest in the group “irrigation systems with a small tank for indoor plants” awarded the test winner …
But enough with the self-praise!
Let’s show you how to use watering device Bördy correctly:
1: An important step right at the beginning – water your plant as usual.
2: After watering your plant, you can get your Bördy out of its nest of packaging and put it in the damp potting soil.
3: Now it is time to feed the bird – use a watering can or a measuring cup to fill the water into the Bördy’s beak.
- The water slowly drains through Bördys clay cone into the soil.
Which Bördy takes care of the plants for how long?
The information we give you about this may vary depending on the size, location and thirst of the plant!
Bördy S | 90ml | up to 4 days |
Bördy M | 220ml | up to 4 days |
Bördy XL | 620ml | up to 11 days |
Bördy XXL | 1000ml | for up to 15 days |
In which colors is the watering device Bördy available?
Bördy S and Bördy M are available in Blue, Green, Orange and Transparent/Clear,
Bördy XL and XXL are available in Green, Transparent and Champagne Pearl.
In which plants does the Bördy feel good?
Whether indoor or outdoor plant: the Bördy feels good in all plants, as long as there is regularly something to drink for him …
To collect, as a gift, a real must-have! Finally, without a guilty conscience go on a short break – your plants are in the meantime well looked after by Bördy!
To keep it that way, we also have a little tip for cleaning:
It works best with water plus a modest amount of vinegar! And very important:Please do not give fertilizer in the Bördy water, the clay cone does not like that at all! Further information can be found in the FAQ’s on our website.

Hi Minna, thanks for your message! It might be possible that the clay cones of the two Bördy XL do not work well. Is it possible to return the two watering devices to the shop?
Please notice that we recommend not to clean the Bördys and other Scheurich watering devices with common descaler fluids. The ingredients might affect the clay cone. We also recommend to not fill the Bördys with liquid fertilizer.
I hope this helps! Kind regards, Christiene Hock from the Scheurich Social Media Team.
Hi, is it recommended to use Bordy for succulents?
Hi! As succulents do hardly need any water, a Bördy might not be necessary. Of course you can put a Bördy into the soil and fill it with water and check whether it suits the plant. Have a great day!
