Tools and Hardware Reviews of Aqua Globes AG011706 Glass Plant Watering Bulbs, 2-Pack
Customer Review: Greatest invention!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the greatest invention ever. Using them for my boss' plants. It makes keeping the plants looking beautiful so much easier and less time consuming.Customer Review: I like them but...
Summary: 3 Stars
These are pretty and work well for small plants but you may need multiples if plant is in anything bigger than 6" pot. Always water plant thoroughly then refill and replace aqua globe. Depending on the plant and time of year -among other factors- water may last 3 or 4 days. I have found that they DO NOT WORK WELL FOR SUCCULENTS. Not sure why; possibly because the plants water requirements are so low that it allows soil in shaft to completely dry before the plant starts to pull water... Don't really know.
The shaft does get clogged with dirt and you'll need patience in order to refill the globe. I'll confess that most of the time it's patience I don't have. I usually end up just watering the plant rather than taking the globe out, unclogging it, getting a bunch of dirt in my sink, then having to slowly refill.
Also, the frequent insertion, extraction and reinsertion of the aqua globe may loosen soil and disrupt roots.
In short, most of the time I have pretty, but empty, aqua globes, decorating, but not really watering my plants :-)
Customer Review: I love aqua globes!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so happy I finally ordered some of these! They work great, look awesome, and help me in between my long periods of remembering to water my poor plants. By the time I remember I usually have to water the plants at the same time I refill these but they haven't started to droop on me in between waterings anymore! Perfect for the absent-minded gardener:^).Customer Review: I love it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Its very easy to use, make a pre hole to get it a little lose and stick it in at angle. This works great because like most people I only watered my plant when it was going limp. Now with this in my plant it stands up straight like a soldier and I don't need to think about it.Customer Review: Just like the infomercials
Summary: 4 Stars
These were pretty much what I expected after watching the infomercials.
The glass is thicker than I thought it would be - I had worried that they would be frail and I'd be cleaning up broken glass when my boys ran by and knocked them over - but they are pretty sturdy.
The stem is long - I have a few small plants that I hoped to use these in and the stem is just too long, it hits the bottom of the pot, so I think I need to get some of the minis too.
Overall - glad I got them!
