Does Aqua Globes Really Work?
If you are layered with a great deal of work, Aqua Globes claims that your plants can automatically be watered with this product. Aqua Globes are perfect for small or large plants in your patio, hanging plants and exotic plants, they say. These hand blown stained glass globes are simply filled with water, then inserted into the soil so that the plant has water when it needs it. Aqua Globes are useful not just on a daily basis, they say, but even when you go off on a vacation. When the soil dries, oxygen is released into the Aqua Globe, and that signals it to release the exact amount of water your plant needs. This is great if you tend to overwater your plants, or if you neglect them every now and then. According to them, with Aqua Globe there is no worry about cleaning up spills, too. This is great for a plant lover who lacks a gardening skill chip or ten, perhaps.

Aqua Globes Reviews
I used these when I went on vacation. They do work if inserted into the dirt just right. The stems tend to clog with dirt and its difficult to clean. Comes in several sizes and its heavy when filled with water so caution is advised when inserting into the pot.

Very Pretty, Very Fragile, Very Useless. Difficult to fill, does not empty correctly, stem fills with dirt, heavy when filled with water. Unless you are a fan of blown glass, bypass this to water your plants.

I do not like them at all. The soil clogs up the openings. It is really a pain to get it out. Some of them just let all the water out at once. They are pretty for a decoration that is all. They do not work.

These are ok but kinda a pain to use. To fill up you have to have a fine stream of water. I did have one plant in the house that started leaking water with it because it was not using it when it needed it. The plant just kept taking water.
