 Suggestions? sporadic results Jun 18, 2010
How do these work best? Stuck straight in vertically or slanted? I am worried about tearing roots because they have to be stuck in soil over and over.
I am on the second week with these globes. I had one plant that needed water every 2 days because I was afraid to overwater since there is no drainage hole in the pot. It drooped on the 3rd day. It seems better now. The first week they worked OK for all plants and lasted 5 days. This second week I had to refill twice and will need to fill again today. Is it draining water down under the surface and leaving the top dry? How do I get consistant results? What about tearing roots?

 Low water needs only, too small for vacation for most plants. Jun 02, 2010
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.

 Saved my plants with these Apr 09, 2010
I've never been good at judging how much water my potted plants need. Using these has kept me from killing yet another plant (including a picky one at that -- a miniature rose). The globes are also a great help when I have to be out of town for more than a weekend. No need to ask neighbors to plant-sit!

Indoor gardener Mar 12, 2010
I have several AeroGardens and use them to produce plants to be potted in my home under grow lights such as strawberries, tomatoes and peppers. As of now I have about 60 houseplants, 3/4 of which are fruit, herb or vegetable. Keeping up with the watering is a chore and my tomato plants are water hogs.
My mother gave me one of her Aqua Globes to try out. It was the larger model. I used it on my newly potted Bonsai Dwarf Cherry tomato plant since I had just brought it from the hydroponic state to soil and did not want to shock the plant. So far over the last two weeks the plant has done beautifully and continues to grow. I have since gotten a few packs of these mini Aqua Globes to put in my Alpine Mignonette Strawberries, Snap Peas and 2 other of the Dwarf Cherry tomatoes. All plants are doing beautifully and the colorful globes add a bit of flair to what would be a boring indoor vegetable garden.
I'm not they type to jump on these infomercial products but this is one that has worked out beautifully. I don't plan on using them on all my houseplants since not all of them would take kindly to having unlimited watering but am back to purchase a few more for my 9 other cherry tomatoes growing on my garden shelving.
A bit of advice would be to make sure the pot is over 6", that the intended plant is not a succulent (they don't usually like lots of water) and that you put a small tracking hole in the soil before you stick the Aqua Globe in. I put mine in until you can't see the neck of the watering globe anymore.
Good, Yet Fragile. Mar 12, 2010
I own the mini Aqua Globes and do like them. The colors blend well with my houseplants and they get the job done. However, if you tap the globe the wrong way or if one accidentally bumps into something else, broken glass is unavoidable - so be careful. The DOWNSIDE is the soil gets lodged at the tip, making it a challenge to refill with water.
All in all, a good product. :-)
