Rose Evans® Aqua Globes - Easy And Automated Plant Watering Systems (Pack of 4)

This is an excellent product if used correctly. The soil MUST be damp/wet already or it will empty straight out. Also it is better the soil is not too loose and if you insert at a slight angle it seems to slow it down. How long it lasts depends on all this and how many plants and their size and how hot the air is. They have lasted at least a couple of days for a medium size garden pot, not blazing sunshine and plants not all at maximum growth and flowering. A hanging basket at full growth on a hot day May last a day. You can always put more than one in! It’s trial & error. These globes in particular are a better quality plastic than some of the other makes. You can tell the difference by the shape and the wavy ridges on the globe (if you look closely).These are more egg shaped with more dips in the wavy ridge. The only negative is they are actually slightly smaller than as in description. Only 350ml.

Worked great while I was away for the week, would say they last more for 4-5 days than they do for 7 days, easy to use and would purchase again

My partner and I love plants but always seem to get watering wrong so these are great allowing the plant to take as much or as little as it needs. I work in a school so great to know my office plants are getting what they need during the holidays. Not the prettiest design and quite large (about a tennis ball size), so a bit imposing with smaller plants but fine for the price. One was cracked at the top which we didn't realise as only tried to use it a while after purchase. It still works OK though, just means you have to hold it and turn over quick to get in plant without leaking

purchased these as going on holiday for a week.. They worked fabulous..You must make sure that you water your plants really, really well first and the globes hold quite a lot of water. Tilt your pot to the side so when you push them in all the water doesn't come out of the globe but definitely recommend for use. I will be purchasing some more so I have plenty for all my pots while I'm away..

The description of this product, was waters for up to two weeks! Some of the globes were damaged and some were empty in less than a day the ones that didn’t empty immediately didn’t water plants at all! All in all totally useless, not as described and not fit for purpose!

I bought four of these to try and maintain a good moisture level in some hanging baskets. The baskets in question contain strawberries and were drying up and I was finding it difficult to get the required moisture into the compost using a watering can or jug, as the water was running off faster than it was being absorbed. These pods apply the water into the compost and have been very successful at getting a good moisture level. The strawberries are now thriving, which is a massive improvement as they were struggling before. When the compost was dry, I was refilling the pods multiple times a day but now we seem to have reached a good level, the pods seems to last for 1-2 days between refills - depending on the weather.I don't think these pods would work well as a holiday watering system though, well not in my case anyway.

Bought 8. Only one worked.Have to fill with water, then quickly turn upside down and insert into pot before the water runs out.However, if this process results in soil going up the spout of the device then it blocks and doesn't work, as happened with the majority of mine.The one that did work, worked well for the single filling, but I had purchased a better watering system by the time it emptied, so don't know whether it would have worked a second time.

If you need something for smaller houseplants, these might be too large. Nevertheless, I have used them while away from home, and they do the job well!
