4-Piece Watering Globe Set, Colorful Hand-Blown Glass Plant Watering System

These are a life-saver for someone like myself with many plants. I LOVE self-watering apparatuses 🙌🏽Most importantly, these were instrumental in helping me combat a gnat issue this past summer. One of my outdoor plants became infested with gnats. To prevent the spread, I had to cover the topsoil (of that plant and all of the nearby ones) in rocks. Due to the rocks, it was difficult to know when the plants needed water. Even worse, my poor moisture stick was struggling to get through the rocks and I was scared I was going to break it one day. Cue the watering globes to the rescue!!! *imagine superhero music right here*.I didn’t have to worry about checking the soil at all thanks to these. I just watch the water level in the globe and refill when it’s been empty for an appropriate period of time (depending on the plant). It was also easy to squirt fertilizer into the globe periodically to feed my plants.The only hang up is that sometimes dirt can get in the tip. It didn’t seem to stop the water from flowing, but it does make refilling the globe difficult. There’s an easy fix though. I just push the dirt in (with a pen, toothpick, my finger, whatever I have handy!). Then I add a small amount of water, swish it around, and flip the globe upside down to drain. I give a couple firm shakes while it’s draining and the dirt comes right out. Problem solved.

These beautiful add-ons save my plants! We travel a lot and sometimes it may take a few weeks or months. I am always worried about my indoor plants. Sometimes I need to ask friends to help me water them when I am not home... But, these watering globes save me. Every time I need to leave for a while, I only need to refill them full. They will automatically water the plants when they need water. Even during the days that I stayed at home, I never watered the plants by hand in case I gave them too much water. Especially, they look very beautiful inside the pots with natural sunlight.Of course, they are made of glass. So they cannot be very sturdy when the pots are located higher... I have already broken two globes... lol

Water flow and capacity seems to drain quicker than I would like but the first is probably real dry. Great colors. It is glass so make sure to be careful.

My mom used to have some of these when I was younger but they either got lost or broke during one of our moves. My mom loves plants and she has tons inside the house. She travels to visit family pretty often so I'm usually the one responsible for watching her plants when she's gone.Only problem is that any plant I touch will immediately die. So I decide to get her some of these for mothers day. Now she just fills them before her trips so I don't have to take care of the plants and they get to stay alive.I remember reading a book when I was younger about people using glass globes in their gardens as fairy catchers. I don't remember what the book was called but the little water globes remind me of those and are so pretty in the sunlight.The one with red did break during transit but I'm pretty sure that was just shipping. It was my least favorite of the colors anyways so I don't really care.

These watering globes are absolutely beautiful! The photos don't do them justice. I am using them for my outside potted plants, especially the pansies that need moist soil. I love the fact that you can fill these up, put them in the pot and it keeps the soil at a consistent level without leakage from the bottom of the pot. I find I need to fill them every day only because my pots are medium size and I live in a warm climate so the soil dries out faster than other places. I have read that people are having a hard time with the soil getting stuck in the tube and the water doesn't come through. Just make a hole in the soil going about 3/4 of the way down into the pot and then put the globe in. Tap the top of the globe a little bit to see if any air bubbles are coming up which tells you it's in the right position and it's working. I highly recommended these.

I bought these because I was going away for a month and hoped they would keep my plant (a 15 year old Peace Lily which was a gift to me when my father passed away in 2006) alive until I got back. The plant had been struggling since I split and replanted it about a year ago, so I wasn't really hopeful. Before I left, I put all 4 into the 12 inch pot and when I came home a month later, it was a little dry, but still alive! Since being home, I have kept two of the watering globes in the plant consistently and my struggling 15 year old plant, that is so important to me, is thriving and a year after the splitting, finally has its first bloom. I recommend these highly and will be buying a second set for my outdoor summer deck plants.

I've bought globes before, and they worked well. However, these are bigger and heavier than what I got before. For my potted basil plant, the stem is too long, and the bulb is too heavy; even with the globe pushed down as much as I can, it sits so high above the soil that its unstable and wants to fall over. I had to put it into the soil at an angle to try and keep the bulb lower to the ground and more stable. However, with this angle I guess the water wasn't being pulled out as strongly by gravity, and the bulb barely dispensed any water over the week and a half I was away.

This is exactly what we needed! We needed these for our potted outdoor hibiscus trees while we were away for vacation and they were amazing! They’re beautiful and add a very pretty colorful accent. I stuffed a little paper towel at the bottom as others had recommended so it wouldn’t get clogged with dirt and it’s worked wonderfully! So happy with these!!
