Tools and Hardware Reviews of Aqua Globes AG011706 Glass Plant Watering Bulbs, 2-Pack
Customer Review: satisfied
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these after my sister-in-law talked my ear off about how well they worked for her orchids. I had two ferns hanging from my front porch that seemed to dry out constantly. The bulbs worked great, better than normal watering. The bulbs lasted two days and kept the ferns greener than watering from the top. I learned two things my first season with the bulbs that could help others. Put the bulbs back in the same hole everytime. This causes less damage to the roots and less clogging to you bulbs. Take your planters down when the winds blowing, the bulbs tend to break when the plants fall :)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: Worked but needed both for my one plant
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered these to water my plant in the office while I'm away during the weekends. I needed to use both of them to sufficiently water my large (3ft.) peace lily. I did drop one of them and it broke, so I'm finding that just using one is not enough to keep the whole plant happy. I'm looking for alternatives that are maybe not so breakable, since I'm a bit of a klutz! They are kind of hard to fill and when dirt gets stuck in the end it takes some work to get it out. If I knew I wouldn't break it, I would probably order them again because they work okay and look pretty in the plant.Customer Review: worthless.

I got these as a Christmas present and was excited to try them out in my houseplants. The first thing I noticed that even without water, they are heavy. So once you add the water to them they weigh a lot more than you would think. I tried them in several average sized pots (just like they show in the commercial) and they were so heavy that the pots kept tipping over. Also the ends were constantly getting clogged. It's just much more efficient if I water my plants myself. I'm just glad that I didn't spend any money on these because they were a complete waste!Customer Review: DOES NOT WORK!
Summary: 1 Stars
Aqua globes do not work! The end clogs when you push them into the soil and no water can get out to water the plant! Even making "pre-holes" with pencils, pens, fingers, etc...the end of the globe clogs when you put it into the soil then the water can't get out. I have left these in for as much as a week to see if it unclogs itself when the soil is dry and no, it does not. I have to take the globe out of the plant soil and unclog it with a pencil while running under water. These are pretty but they do not work and are a waste of money!
