I had the same problem with mine so I bought an IV tubing set on Amazon for around 5.00 that had its own flow rate control and replaced the tubing coming from my little dripper with that and I turnEd the little valve on the lil dripper to run then I control the rate of the drip with the flow control on the iv tubing. I will say the IV tubing is smaller than what comes on the lil dripper but with some effort I got it on there and it works like a dream.

I don’t know how to do that, sorry! Just go to Amazon and search Iv tubing set and it will come up. I’m a nurse and use to use these in the hospital.

Jorvet universal iv set I just looked it up. Type it in exactly like this and you will see the exact one I got. There are parts on it you won’t need but you will need the white rolly thing. That’s the drip control.

Okay just saw this before sent photos

 

[Mountain Dragon]

This?

 

[Lindasjackson]

Yes! Now you will need to cut the tubing because you don’t need all the parts that come on it, all you need is the drip control and the tubing.

Yeah IV drip is where it's at! Also switched my dripper to a 5gal bucket so I don't have to replace the water so often

What a good idea

Watch your IV bags though. These can actually build up bacteria. You will want to replace them regularly.

Little drippers are horrible and do not work well at all. I use plastic solo cups directly on the screen top away from lighting. Take a needle and do tiny pin holes in the bottom of the cup. Fill with ice cubes for a slow drip over a few hours or with water for a faster drip that lasts about 30 minutes.

I’m also getting a golden pothos and hibiscus soon

 

[Lindasjackson]

I don’t use iv bags, just the little dripper which also could build up bacteria etc if the Iv bags do so should be cleaned regularly. Here is a picture
