Just ordered some of the Antelco Cfd micro sprayers from Brighton, indeed super cheap and quick. They're great sprayers, just installed them for my herbs. Bonsai ones going in tomorrow.

I made the mistake of ordering some "assemblies" and spare spray heads, I should have just ordered the assemblies, as they're all in one, super easy to install and connect.

Going to order more for the rest of the garden!

Thanks again everyone for the advice, not really thought about the sprayers before.

You also need to match the irrigation type to your potting mix.
When we hand water we cover the whole surface. If you use a open mix the water may go straight down and not spread out leaving part of the pot dry if the water is only used on one side.
Test your mix and see how the water behaves and then chose the type of fitting that will work.
