You may be familiar with many of those As Seen on TV products. Some seem too good to be true and others, many believe, could be scams. However, a new product that has a lot of buzz is the new Aqua Globe. These little bulbs will water your plants for you perfectly, every time! However, how much credibility can be given to these little globes?



Aqua Globes are little glass ornaments that will water your plants for you. This bulb is hand crafted. This is what you will fill up with water to allow for water storage. Branching off of this bulb is a stem that you insert to the soil. As the soil dries, the stem will send drops of water to keep the plant hydrated again. As Seen on TV claims that the Aqua Globe will keep your soil hydrated for 2 weeks per refill.

Many believe that products that sound too good to be true probably are. So let's examine the bedrock of the Aqua Globe and decide if purchasing one is the way to go. The Aqua Globe operates on the foundation that when soil dries, oxygen is released. This oxygen that is released goes up through the stem. This infiltration forces a little bit of water out. This is just enough water to keep the plant satisfied.

From personal experience, I can say that the Aqua Globes do work. You have very little responsibility to keep your plants healthy. You should refill the bulb every two weeks. Also be careful when inserting the stem that no dirt clogs up the end. You can void this by poking the hole with a stick first and then sticking the stem there. Other than this, upkeep is minimal.

One obstacle that you must come to terms with is the appearance of the product. Make sure that you are content with having the bulb where your plants are. I like the way they look, but some may not. If you do you believe they take away visual value, then you should be ok.

As far as functionality, the Aqua Globe meets all standards. I have such an easy time keeping my plants healthy. I have received complements galore and many believe that I have put in tons of hard work into my plants. Truthfully, I do little maintenance and keep them watered with the Aqua Globes. It's amazing what proper water will do to a plant's health!
