I purchased three of these globes 2 years ago and love them. They work wonders when you're a negligent plant keeper. I needed some more, but opted to try aqua globes since they are cheaper. I've had the aqua globes for several months and there's no comparison. Unfortunately, the aqua globes I purchased were difficult and time consuming to fill. Also, some of the aqua globes did not always release water as designed. These PlantNanny watering globes are much easier to fill and they do not fail to water the plant. It's worth the extra money.

I have many indoor plants & it was "hit or miss" in remembering which ones needed watering and which I had forgotten. With the "Clear Glass Watering Globe", just insert the pottery "stake" flush with the pot into the roots, then place the ball into it. All you see is the globe. The globe holds about a cup of water which seeps into the plant over 3 or 4 days. When the globe runs low on water, remove it (not the stake), refill, insert it back on the stake. No more guessing. Love these globes. Unobtrusive, kinda pretty. I have bought nine now. I also use them for starting outdoor plants. So low to the ground the wind never bothers them. These watering globes are not the ones sold on tv.

The only reason I can keep an indoor plant alive is these great little things! They look great in the pot and do a great job of keeping the plant perfectly watered.

Went on vacation and use the globes in my plants outside and did not come back to dead plants. Very effective items.

After trying a number of similar products, this one actually works. It is very simple to use, place base in soil, fill globe and insert it and then just wait for water level to go down (anywhere from 4 to 7 days depending on plant) and then refill. Our plants have never looked better.

I have always struggled with my plants . They are already looking better since using this product in only 3 weeks!

My original purchase was for 3 of these and now I've order 12 more. I have several plants on tops of bookcases and by using these globes, the plants don't have to be taken down and lifted back up. The plants can be quite heavy to lift back up after watering thoroughly and by using the globes, all that lifting is not necessary.

One suggestion -- water your plant before inserting the globe for the first time instead of just inserting the globe into dry soil. The soil will end up staying more uniformly damp and the globe won't have to be refilled as often.

I have been using the 3 globes in potted plants outdoor. They are working out quite nicely since this is dry season. I wish they made a smaller size for my small indoor pots. They are easy to fill and right now they water for about 4 days keeping plants that usually die out going a little longer. I would recommend this to others.

This is definately what they claim it to be. I have what you might describe as a love/hate relationship with house plants. I love them and they hate to see me buy them. I really do try but with no success. Too much water or too little. This solved the problem. And they look so nice in the plants. Not like those wild funky colors you see being sold on TV. I will for sure purchase more as I get more plants. Have six now. Thanks for living up to your claims as to what you do.

These were exactly what I needed. I had seen other watering globes but they were huge. I wanted these for some smaller indoor ferns. I just fill the globes and the plants get the water they want for days on end. They are much happier now, I tend to not water frequently enough sometimes.
