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?

The Aqua Globe is a glass ornament that will water your plants for you. It contains a glass bulb that is connected to a long stem. This stem is injected into the soil of your plant and as the soil dries, the Aqua Globe will refresh it with a quick burst of water. Aqua Globe says that they can keep a plant perfectly watered for two weeks without you having to lift a finger.

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.

Do the Aqua Globes work? From my experience with the product I can say yes. There is a little responsibility required on your part. You must keep the bulb refilled every 2 weeks and you must make sure to not have dirt clogging the end of the stem. You can get around this by poking the hole first with a pencil and then inserting the stem. Other than that, it’s self-sustaining.

Another thing that you will have to make sure to ask yourself is if the aesthetics will take away from the look of your plants. I like the way the Aqua Globe looks, but some people may consider it to be an ugly bauble. Be sure that you are content with the appearance.

In regards to functionality, the Aqua Globe does deliver. This is a perfect solution to keeping your plants watered on vacation and having healthy plants. I have received lots of compliments on my plants and I just smile because I know that it has been pretty effortless. Why work harder when you can work smarter? See if the Aqua Globe is right for you.
