8 Pcs Clear Plant Watering Globes,Plastic Self Watering Bulbs Ball,Garden Water Device for Plant Indoor Outdoor(Small)

Yes, those thingies work for people like me who keep forgetting to water their flowers when they get busy with other things. Now if I could only remember refilling them when they are empty!

While this product works well, you will have to stick it a couple of times to figure out the right angle, tilted enough to get some air and release the water slowly.

Love these for my many plants. Wonderful all the time. Especially great when I go out of town. I’ve purchased more.

The package arrived on time. However, disappointed ☹️ - one of the bulbs was broken.

I saw the reviews that people struggled to have success with these but I tried anyway. I tried a lot. I tried a lot of angles and levels and techniques, and I couldn’t really get any of them to work more than once, if that. The small ones seem to leak out water immediately, and the larger ones sometimes do, and sometimes go slowly enough that you wonder if it’s working correctly or just blocked by soil again. The big ones are large enough that they might knock over your small to medium plant if you try to angle them to get a faster drip. The small ones are small enough that they barely hold much water at all.I’m sure it’s possible that someone could kind of luck into some kind of system that works for them using these. But it wasn’t me. I certainly wouldn’t trust these over a vacation without testing them, and also learning yourself how they work for a few weeks first. One dirt clod when you’re filling it the morning you leave and you don’t notice because you don’t know what it feels like, you’d be coming home to a dead plant. Try to use one that perhaps for some manufacturing defect just won’t hold water and you didn’t test it first? You’d be coming home to a dead plant.They are so cute, and smaller than the terracotta bottle spikes i have used successfully before. It’s a shame they just… don’t work very well.

Perfect for all my plant pots, indoor and outside. Highly recommend these.

My spouse and I really like plants but are notoriously bad watering them. We either forget or accidentally overwater them. These globes have been great at keep our plants happy and appropriately hydrated. It's also been a time saver in watering the plants. Since we've started using these globes, there's been a visible improvement in our plants' health and growth.I will also add as many have, that's important that when you first use these things, to make sure the plant is well watered already. This way the water in the globes lasts for several days before you have to refill. I didn't find these hard to refill in the sink as long as you open the faucet at a low flow.

Bought these to set in some of our houseplants before we went away on a two-week trip. They are sturdy, but far from "decorative". They are a good price for the number that you get. However, as some people have said, sometimes they clog and don't work potentially jeopardizing the health of your plants.So here's what we did to play it safe:- Only used them in potted plants that we knew would last for more than two weeks without watering- Set them up two days before our trip to see which ones didn't dispense water into the soil by the following day- Those that were still completely full the next day, we pulled them out, washed them, and poked them in the stem to clear out the clog- Re-set them in the soil the night before we leftWhen we came back, about 80% of them were completely drained, so I'd call that a success. A couple of them were still full, so they didn't drain at all. Only negative besides the ones that clogged and didn't properly water the plants is that their rate of draining is totally "random" and unpredictable. If your soil is very compact, they probably will clog and not drain or drain very slowly for instance. If your soil is very loose or full of roots or twigs then they will probably drain very fast, within a day or two, rendering them useless also for long trips.My recommendations would be to try something else and more reliable, like the Blumat Classic Plant Watering Stakes which we also bought and which work very well: (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001IOZ98?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1)So would I recommend them: NO. They are just too unpredictable to use for long absences. We'll continue to use them as a supplement to the Blumat stakes for "less important" plants that we're not too worried about, and we'll probably use two of these globes for those pots just in case one clogs.
