Adabocute Plant Waterer Self Watering Globes Self Watering Spikes, Hand Blown Clear Glass Plant Water Bulbs Devices for Indoor & Outdoor, Fill from Top, 2 Flower Shape

Have a big fern inside, needs to be watered every few days. But it is difficult to water because it’s so bushy and dense, the water splashes out and goes on the floor. I like these because once I got them situated down into the dirt, I left them there, and I can easily water. My plant is high water use so I have no need of slowing down the speed at which they drain. I fill them several times over until they’re not draining instantly. I didn’t really need the corks for my purposes. They are cute but the fern is so full, they are not even visible.

I love these globes. At first, I was a bit enjoyed because the water drained immediately. I then wrapped a cheesecloth around the bottom but it still drained within minutes, even when I doubled the layer. I then pushed about 3" of cheesecloth inside the globe where the water pours out and now it works perfectly, I can adjust how much cloth I put in if I want more water to come out but now it produces a constant slow drip. I think the seller should include a little cloth to put inside or a little stopper with holes. I do love the simple clean look and how easy it is to fill.

This review is for all of you unhappy people that bought these to water your plants!! I had the same problem with the water running out way to fast. I filled them in the morning and by evening they were empty. What I did to help mine last days longer was to take cotton and stuff the tube full and I packed it tight!!! Hope it works for you! I'm still thinking on something else that might work even better. If I do I will post it.

Love these self watering sticks. Ordered a second set because they work so well and are pretty in my pots of flowers!! They water deep down at the roots, which is better for delicate flowers. I did place a small thin piece of fabric at bottom of tube & secured with small hair band. This works perfect for deterring the soil to work its way up the tube & clog it. Such a great device and I love that they add to the beauty of the potted flowers, instead of some large ugly colored ball, they are a small, beautiful shaped ,clear design. Bit pricey, but work SO well.

I'm really disappointed. They are very pretty, seem sturdy but they just don't work. I put them in a large pot that had already been watered. First I tried wrapping cloth on the bottom, but both globes emptied within 15 minutes. Then I tried placing a sponge in the stem, same results. So I put in the soil with stem exposed and still same result. Very disappointed. I have used Aquaglobes in the past and they worked but I was trying to find something easier to fill.

I was hopeful these would work because they are so cute. I wrapped them in cloth, followed instructions. They completely lost all the water they held in less then 3 minutes. 3 stars because I'm keeping them since they are cute and a little jenesaisquoi to my plant, but these have failed in their job duty.

I love these “globes”!!! You can just leave them in place & refill them as needed. No muss no fuss! Compared to all the other styles where they must be removed to refill & have tiny annoying fill hole. Plus they’re sturdier than the other ones.One of best purchases I’ve made!I live where outside temperatures are well over 100 degrees for extended periods of time unfortunately & these globes have kept my newly planted outside flowers alive!Make perfect gifts for friends & neighbors who garden

I bought 6 of these because I feel like my plants look healthier when the roots are being watered directly. And these are SO easy to refill and/or water your plants with. However as soon as the soil is even a wee bit dry it will pull ALL the water out ie not gradual .The enclosed water globes are gradual but what a pain to refillI read a review where someone stuffed the end with bits of cheesecloth to slow the drainage up. I didn't have cheese cloth so used bits of an old t-shirt. Seems to work better. Ie ALL the water didn't drain out, I still have some sitting. I plan to add more t-shirt and see if I can adjust the drainage speed.I haven't found them to to 'time saving', because I seem to need to refill them often enough to where I might as well water the plant !Again the water globes are WAY better for thatIts probably physics at this point, an open receptacle is not creating the pressure needed to adjust drainage vs dryness ?The best system is still my DIY string,- water bottle capillary system. I can forget about watering the plants but it does look ugly.Honestly if someone is selling a beautiful string-bottle kit I will buy it :) Maybe Et..y ? LOL
