How watering globes keep your plants perfectly hydrated | Guide & step-by-step instructions
Watering globes, also known as plant waterers or watering spikes, are becoming increasingly popular. They're ideal for those who often forget to water their plants, are planning a vacation, or simply want a hassle-free solution. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of these self-watering systems, explain how they work, and show you how to use them effectively for larger plants.
What is a watering globe?
A watering globe is a convenient, automatic system consisting of two parts: a globe and a stem-like watering spike. To use it, fill the globe with water, which is easiest to do by holding it at an angle under the tap. Then, insert the watering globe into your plant's soil. The globe automatically regulates water release, ensuring your plant receives the right amount of moisture.
How to use a watering globe in 5 easy steps
- Hold the globe at an angle under the tap and fill it with water.
- Firmly place the watering globe into the potting soil with the spike pointing downward.
- Ensure the spike is close to the roots and fill the pot with enough soil.
- Check that the soil isn’t too dry, as this can cause the globe to empty quickly.
- The globe will gradually release water automatically. No need to worry about overwatering—the soil will only absorb what the plant needs.
Beautiful plants without the hassle
A watering globe is perfect if you want to simplify plant care, are going away for the weekend, or even taking a longer vacation. This handy system can keep your plants hydrated for up to two weeks. Keep in mind that the exact duration depends on the type of plant, pot size, and room conditions. For larger plants, we recommend using two globes to ensure they receive enough water, allowing you to leave home with peace of mind. Want to make sure your larger plants are fully taken care of? Opt for the XXL watering globes with a generous 700 ml capacity.
