Tools and Hardware Reviews of Aqua Globes AG011706 Glass Plant Watering Bulbs, 2-Pack
Customer Review: Aqua globes don't work well
Summary: 1 Stars
You need to have a large enough potted plant for the Aqua Globe to stay upright. If you can't stick it in deep enough it falls over. I had problems with it getting clogged with soil. Even for the one plant, I was able to use it in, I didn't notice that I had to water the plant less then I normally did. I also didn't like how it looked in the potted plant. I felt it detracted from the plant's appearance. My Aqua Globes are all under my bed now. I'll sell them at a yard sale someday.Customer Review: Attractive and as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
We used these to keep our potted cyclamen alive during a two week vacation, and they seemed to work perfectly. They were definitely empty after two weeks however, so multiples would be required for a longer absence. It is important to water the plants first before placing a full aqua globe in the pot, or the water will immediately drain out. It is also important to use a dowel or stick to make a hole in the soil approximating the long stem of the globe- BEFORE trying to insert the globe, otherwise the globe stem will get clogged up as you force it into the soil. These were two tips that I read on internet postings before I purchased them, and they were essential to success.Customer Review: Beautiful AND useful

Just fill with water, insert the stem into the soil in your hanging basket and it keeps those outdoor baskets from withering away. In my 16" geranium/petunia hanging basket, it dispensed water for 3 days during 90+ degree temps. I'll bring them in for winter watering of house plants. They have a beautiful art quality.Customer Review: Bulkier than I thought, but I like them
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased a pair of aqua globes from target in their as seen on TV section. Those globes are very dainty and light weight. I loved them. They water my plants for a good week or two depending on the plant and despite a little dirt getting in the bottom, they work just fine. My plants are saved!
Because I loved them so much I ordered 2 sets from amazon. What arrived was a much larger, thicker, bulkier version of the aqua globes. When filled with water they almost tip my small house plants over (the others didn't).
At first I was going to send them back but now I figure I will use them for some outdoor ferns I have in pots or for a large indoor tree I'd like to get.
Just a warning, if you need to water a small or medium house plant, the ones that you get from Amazon might not work. The ones you can get at a store are the proper ones for that.
Customer Review: Clogs with dirt!
Summary: 2 Stars
Was given to me by my sister as a birthday gift and while beautiful these globes just don't cut it. I have tried it in several plants and the little tube always gets clogged with dirt. I have tried waiting to see if eventually the dirt would get moist enough to release the rest of the water but my plants started wilting and I didn't want to risk it. Does make for a pretty decoration though.
