Large Water Globe

A:  I’ve always put mine so there’s a few inches of the tube showing, I don’t think it overly matters the roots will draw water from the soil as needed. I only fill mine once per week and it seems to do the trick! 

A:  I end up pushing the stem all the way down. But I have had pots that are too short and some of the stem sticks up - works great either way

A:  The water will start to come out when the soil becomes dry. As such, properly water your plant first and then place the Aqua Globe half to 2/3 way in the plant.

A:  Purchased the bulb and I stopped using it for the reason. First it was an exciting purchase but now it keeps getting dirt inside and having to spend lots of time trying to get the dirt out and plants were not getting the water. I should have returned it because now it's just collecting dust.

A:  Push dirt inside bulb, fill with water, swish water around and empty until you get it clean. Before reinserting in dirt use a rod or stick to make a “hole” for inserting. Bulb will stay cleaner in the future 

A:  I use a long metal skewer...works well.

A:  I fill the glob with water then put in works cleaner. Shake and let sit when dirt is floating loose rinse w with clean water

A:  simply remove it with a tooth pick

A:  No, I wouldn't do that.

A:  I don't think they are safe for dishwasher is pretty fragile.

A:  No it is not safe and you wouldn't need to.

A:  They are blown glass, and a little fragile. Two of mine are broken already. I still think they are a good idea, as they kept our Plumeria alive on a 4 day vacation, but they can break easily. If nothing else touches them in the dishwasher you're probably OK.

A:  No…they’re extremely fragile.

A:  1 Aqua Globe per container is suggested.

A:  The Aquaglobes work well in large outdoor containers between late spring to end of autums. Best to bring them in for the winter and early spring. Since the soil "releases oxygen into the Watering Globes when it becomes dry, which in turn release the exact amount of water the plant needs" - there is no danger of over-watering, putting 2 globes into larger outdoor containers.

A:  One is fine and should water effectively.

A:  Depends on the size of the container and the plant you have planted in the container. Some plants need moist soil while others do better in a bit of dry soil.

A:  I'm not sure they would be large enough. I have used wine bottles for large outdoor pots
