Tools and Hardware Reviews of Aqua Globes AG011706 Glass Plant Watering Bulbs, 2-Pack
Customer Review: ONLY Medium size pots with low water requirements
Summary: 2 Stars
If the pot is too small it will tip over. If the pot is too big these will not do any good for any duration (too small=baseball sized). Ideal for a 6" pot. A better design would have an open top so you can refill without removal. Everytime you place it you have to make sure you don't plug with dirt or it won't work right. The glass bulbs are very pretty, but they don't hold much water. Forget about using these for being gone on vacation, unless your plant requires very little water. We lost several plants in just 1 week.Customer Review: Very convinient !!
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this globe for my medium-sized spider plant. I made a hole in the soil with a chopstick so that I could insert the shaft into the soil easily. I was worried that it would over-watered the plant, because the globe was empty just within 3-4 hours. But the second time, the water in the globe lasted for 6 days in a 75-80 degrees room! My plant looks very healthy, the leaves look very shiny. It's easy to clean too. If there's soil stuck in the shaft, I just push the dirt in w/ a chopstick, and wash it out w/ water.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!
Customer Review: Looks pretty but doesn't work
Summary: 2 Stars
I followed the directions closely but have found that these do not perform as advertised. Soil does get clogged inside the globe but that seems normal and unavoidable given the design. I fill it up with water and it quickly drains out. I filled it again and the same thing happened. So, this product does water plants but not any better than you pouring the water in yourself. But I will give it good marks for its appearance. I think it looks beautiful and at this point that is the only reason I keep it on my plant.Customer Review: Works great but my plant now has mold.
Summary: 5 Stars
I use my water globe all the time. It was a gift from a co-worker who was tired of seeing my poor plant listless and starving for water. When filled with water, it is very heavy but it works great. My plant is in my cubicle so it doesn't get a lot of fresh air...and since my plants soil it moist all the time, it has now started growing mold at the top of the soil. I'm thinking I should let the soil dry out a little bit before filling the globe...kinda defeats the purpose of the water globe, dont you think? :)
