Going Global   2010-07-25
By Spudman (Pasadena, MD United States)
Aqua Globes are one of those myriad "as seen on TV" products that promise to change your life. Mrs. Spudman picked up a box along with the equally promising "Smooth Away" miracle that is also "seen on TV." In the box were two Aqua Globes, each made of hand-blown glass, and even this skeptical Spudman must admit are somewhat attractive and stylish. The globes are about 11 inches long and far too fragile to put into the hands of your pet gorilla or chimpanzee. The long thin tips are "cut" at an angle at the ends to help with ease of filling and inserting into potting soil. When we bought our present home, we inherited a potted palm tree that's' close to five feet tall now. It showed signs of stress after being transplanted into a larger pot, so Mrs. Spudman chose it as a candidate for the Aqua Globes. After several weeks, I noticed that the Aqua Globes were still full of water and brought it to the attention of the Globe master. She pulled out the devices, cleaned compacted dirt from the ends, and reinserted them at a different angle and depth. This seemed to do the trick because the globes needed refilling about a week hence. One site I browsed suggesting putting a piece of screen around the tip of the Aqua Globe to prevent dirt clogs. Filling the globes is time consuming and tedious because one has to use a gentle, thin flow from the spigot. Mrs. Spudman started using a small funnel for filling and seems to be happier with this procedure. Before inserting the globes into the soil, one is advised to predrill a hole using a stick, dowel, chopstick, or screwdriver. An electric drill makes a big mess with flying dirt and is not recommended for making the preparatory hole. If you don't make an insertion hole first, you might break the globe's delicate neck or clog the end with soil, neither of which is desirable. It took some trial and error for Mrs. Spudman to determine just the right angle and depth for her Aqua Globes. They seem to be working as promised at the moment, and the palm tree test subject seems healthy and happy. Finally - Mrs. Spudman is relatively happy with her Aqua Globes though not particularly enthusiastic about them. We both agree that they are an attractive novelty. To ensure that a cherished plant is getting water while you're away on vacation, these Aqua Globes may not be a bad option. If you have many cherished plants, this option could become expensive. Mrs.Spudman sort of likes her Aqua Globes. I think they are silly and unnecessary gimmicks of dubious value that at least don't harm plants. Watering plants is not that much work and isn't all that time consuming. If you resent the time and effort spent watering houseplants, then maybe you shouldn't have any. Most importantly the use of Aqua Globes® deprives the plants with personal contact with their caretaker(s) , quality time shared, and the all important bonding experience. Thus I give them a lukewarm recommendation.
Don't work very well   2010-07-13
By Mom of Two Tots
I purchased these to water some window boxes. I filled the globes and inserted them into the planter boxes as the directions stated. Withing a few hours all were empty. I needed these for watering while away. But the water emptied out before I even left. Product looks nice, but doesn't work as expected.
Great for fickle plants   2010-07-12

I bought 2 small trees and watered them as the soil became dry. If the trees do no get water immediately after the soil is dry, the leaves shrivel and fall off. The globes serve as my backup plan. If the soil gets dry before I notice, the trees will get water.
I love it!!!   2010-07-06
By Marshall Ellzey
Its very easy to use, make a pre hole to get it a little lose and stick it in at angle. This works great because like most people I only watered my plant when it was going limp. Now with this in my plant it stands up straight like a soldier and I don't need to think about it.
Pretty but Not worth the Money. Unfortunately.   2010-06-16
By Jennifer Mclean (Victoria, BC, Canada)
These look so pretty in the pot but what I find happens is no matter how I tried, dirt and little pebbles would get into the tube and stop the water from leeching into the soil like it was designed to do. Great concept, unfortunately I didn't find that it worked well. Pretty though!
