Tools and Hardware Reviews of Aqua Globes AG011706 Glass Plant Watering Bulbs, 2-Pack
Customer Review: Perfect solution!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this thing! Some of the reviewer mention how to properly use it - the instructions that come with the globes are clear about what to do to use it properly. Follow instructions and it is perfect! I have one globe in an african violet that was withering away and is now growing and beautiful. It sits sort of near a radiator/heater so I have to change the water weekly instead of every 2 weeks, but it's easy to see when water is getting low through the glass globe. Great product!Customer Review: Plant saver
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased six aqua globes because I was going to be away from my home for week. I worried that my three large hibiscus trees would die from lack of moisture. I watered the plants thoroughly and then added the globes before departing. My plants stayed healthy and watered while I was away. I'm very pleased with the aqua globes which were a third of the price at Amazon as compared to my local nursery.Customer Review: Pretty but Not worth the Money. Unfortunately.
Summary: 2 Stars
These look so pretty in the pot but what I find happens is no matter how I tried, dirt and little pebbles would get into the tube and stop the water from leeching into the soil like it was designed to do. Great concept, unfortunately I didn't find that it worked well. Pretty though!Customer Review: Pretty but useless
Summary: 2 Stars
I followed the instructions faithfully. I didn't have the problem some people mentioned of the bulb getting plugged, that's fairly easy to take care of with a large unfolded paper clip. My problem is that these don't really do the trick. Unless you pre-water your plant every time, they are useless...so you can't use them to water your plants or trust them when you are gone. 2 weeks? That's a joke. Also one might not be enough for the plant, even a small one. A pot with a drain will lose all the water overnight. Pretty but useless unless the weather is cool enough to prevent evaporation.Customer Review: SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT make the same mistake that I did in buying this product. I have a lot of plants so I've spent over $100 on this nonsense. It is an absolute waste of time and money!
Oh, they look so pretty when initially you put them in... then the time comes to refill the bulbs. Then you realize that half of them are still filled with water because the dirt got into the narrow openings. So you carefully make sure that the bulbs have their holes made for them to avoid this happening in the future and hope for the best. Then you realize that the plants are hungrier than you thought.
WITHOUT the bulbs, you need to feed/water your plants every 2-3 days. Guess what? WITH the bulbs, you still need to water your plants every 2-3 days! Only now, except just watering your plants, you will be spending 5 times more time in filing up the blasted bulbs in addition to watering your plants. So, a 10 minute job becomes 2-person 45 minute job. And for what? The bulbs BREAK at the slightest provocation, they have a hard time standing up until you prop them, the openings get stuffed with dirt and become impenetrable by any means other than a letter opener... It's a mess!
In other words, AVOID LIKE PLAGUE and save your money!
