4 Stars Bulkier than I thought, but I like them
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.
4 Stars nice idea
These bulbs work well to keep house plants perfectly watered and thriving. They are attractive and easy to use. The only drawback is that soil sometimes gets stuck in the tube and needs to be coaxed out before refilling.
5 Stars very pretty!
I got a set of these and I love them. I use them on 2 indoor plants, and am considering ordering a set for the office. I have quite a lot of plants, and I do have a tendency to give some of them too much love and overwater. These seem to have fixed the problem - I fill them, then don’t have to worry about watering those plants at all until the globe is empty. I found that for my 2 plants (in smallish pots - probably 6in diameter or so, one pothos and one arrowhead vine), the globe lasts about 2 weeks. Plants are very happy - not too dry or too wet.
Tip - when you go to refill, sometimes there is dirt stuck in the tip of the tube that just won’t shake out, stopping you from filling it. Poke out the dirt with a paperclip or old cake tester and you’re fine. Also it takes less time to fill if you do have the water on verrrrry slowly so it doesn’t overkill the small tube.
Seems the consensus on colors from where I’ve seen them is that they are both mostly blue, but one has just white specks and the other has multicolor specks (both very pretty).
Note - I don’t know that I’d use these outside. I don’t think they’re large enough to water an outdoor plant effectively in the heat, and I’d worry about the sun pinpointing through the glass and overheating in a magnifying glass effect (I’m probably just paranoid! The glass isn’t smooth, so it’s pro be ok - or use in a shady spot).
5 Stars Great for plants in smaller pots, especially indoor plants.
I’ve been pretty happy with Aqua Globes. I think they serve a specific purpose and they serve it well: if you want to water a plant in a smaller container, for a week or two, they provide a solution. They can handy if you are going on vacation or even if you just aren’t sure how much water to give your plant. [...]
5 Stars This thing actually works
I followed the directions exactly, making a smaller diameter hole, filling the bulb slowly at an angle, and being sure that the bulb did not tilt at all once I inserted it into the soil. The bulb works like a charm. The plant I used it on (philodendron) was also a gift from another neighbor. I quit buying plants because I invariably killed all of them eventually by either overwatering, underwatering or plain neglect. The ones I have are all gifts and I feel so bad when they die that I nurse them back to health only to watch them die again.
Not only does the Aqua Bulb work, it works very well. My neighbor gave me one and I almost laughed in her face but I accepted it and thought why not. I was very skeptical and thought it was another useless TV gimmick. I’ve been had so many times by those TV-offer products, I assume all of them are trash. The Aqua Bulb works. I don’t know how it works because it’s been at least 3 weeks since I began using it and it’s nowhere near empty. I even wonder if that’s good or not, but my plant is thriving so I’m here to purchase more. I’m sold.
