Aqua Globes Plant Watering As Seen On TV Set/4 Review

I bought 8 of these. The boxes each containe a blue globe with a narrow stem and a red globe with a larger diameter stem.
The blue globes with the narrow ends do not work well, in some cases not at all. The red globes with the larger diameter work great.

I liked the idea a lot when I saw it on TV but did not want to spend that much. I tried to use the same logic and used a clean empty beer bottle filled it with water and inverted it in my pot of daisies. It works the same and I feel great about recycling the glass bottles. If you are creative you can even paint them and its free. :)

This product works great if you are going to be away and have nobody to water your plants. I was away for 30 days and these still had capacity after I returned. The type of plant you have and size does make a difference of course. If you have a larger pot and the plant usually requires adequate water then you would want to put two of these on the soil. I would definitely use these again if I was going to be away for an extended time.

Plant Sitter Automatic Waterer Review

Plant Sitter Automatic Waterer
Average Reviews:

This is a great item. The amount of water it holds is enough for maybe 1 week of watering my indoor (4ft) Ficus at work. The big selling point for me was that the clear reservoir gives me an instant indication of whether I need to water or not.
My little tree was dying because I would go away for the weekend having forgotten to water it, and it's pretty hard to kill a Ficus like this one. Once I put it on this plant life support system it recovered extremely quickly, and is now actively growing again.
I also bought some extra plant sitter sensor/drippers. If I need to go away for an extended weekend or vacation I just use a few extra containers and spread the sensors between them so the plant has adequate water. It drinks from them all at roughly the same rate.

Plant Sitter Automatic Watering Sensor 3 Pk Review

My husband and I have been using this product for years - each year we add more indoor plants and buy more of these wonderful waterers. We leave town for up to a month, and as long as we follow the recommendations on the package for larger plants we have had great success. We normally "plug in the survival spikes" about a week in advance to make sure we have correctly set them up. Also, we use 1 gallon water jugs for the water supply. Good luck!

Self-Watering Probes - Vacation Plant Waterers - 5 Pack Review

Self-Watering Probes - Vacation Plant Waterers - 5 Pack

We're snowbirds, splitting the year in half, and have always had to find someone to watch my wife's plants.
This year we decided to try these spikes. We put a couple plants on them for about 2 months, with good results, so decided to see if they'd make it until our return in November. We got some 18 gallon totes for water reservoirs (netting about 14 gallons). The test plants were in 10" pots with 2 spikes each and took about a gallon per month for both.
I'll try to remember to update this review on our return, but we are expecting the same satisfactory results.
Well, we had one of our friends check on things last week (mid Sept) and all of our plants are doing wonderfully. They added water to the totes. This is about 4-1/2 months after leaving them. It seems that if there is enough water, this could be an indefinite solution. We are very impressed and have recommended them to several of our friends that have similar needs.
Adding this to review - 04/01/2011: We had to boil out the tubes so that they would continue to work (per manufacturer's instruction). We have a fair amount of mineral in our water, so the deposits in the tube made them less effective. I think they made it 3 years before this happened, but in hindsight, I think we'll probably perform annual maintenance (boil and blow out) so that they don't get completely plugged. A couple people asked about the larger water reservoir and for that we just use the 18 gallon storage totes (Homz, Rubbermaid, etc.) that you get at the home center stores. I drilled little holes into the totes by the handles so that I could put the lids on to minimize evaporation. I have 5 totes with three tubes in each one. This could be adjusted for length of abscence and number of spikes, just do the math (for us, 15 spikes x 7 months x 1 gallon = 105 gallons). I'm a little shy on the total volume, but that has worked, so the actual demand might be a little less than a gallon a month.I am back getting some more of these, both for a couple additional plants and, due to the lack of maintenance a couple of the tubes are being difficult.

Aqua Globes AG011706 Glass Plant Watering Bulbs, 2-Pack Review

Average Reviews:

I bought six of these to water my large potted plants while we are gone in the summer. Once receiving them, I immediately tried them. I filled them with water, made the hole in the dirt first with something else, and inserted the globes. Water started leaving the globes quickly and within 10-15 minutes, the globes were empty! I was hoping water would stay in the globes long enough to water the plants for at least one week, and they were empty. I soon realized that your plants have to be saturated with water FIRST, then as the dirt around the globes dries, water is released from the globe. Another thing, dirt does get trapped in the stem sometimes. Overall, just make sure that your plants are watered very well before you insert the globes, then they will slowly release the water the plant needs. I've had comments on how pretty they are in the plants also. I think they do the job without having to ask your neighbor to come water your plants while you're gone.

Claber 8053 Oasis 4-Program/20 Plant Garden Automatic Drip Watering System Review

I bought this device to keep 8 rather larges plants watered while I travel every month. I used two drippers per pot and left plenty of extra tubing between the plants. It worked great, really great. I've had to use it 5x so far and each time it worked perfectly.
I've tried several things in the past including other drip system as well as the 3 different kinds of watering spikes. Not of them worked as well or as easily as the Oasis. Highly recommend this.

Claber's award-winning Oasis Automatic Drip Watering System is the perfect solution for watering your plants when you're away for the holidays, on vacation, or just short on time. Ideal for indoor use, the Oasis provides a consistent, perfectly calibrated amount of water to as many as 20 plants for up to 40 days. And since it operates totally independently of faucets and electrical outlets, you will not need to worry about leaks or electrical problems while you're away.
Award-Winning System Saves Money, Time, and WorryThe Oasis Automatic Drip Watering System received top honors at the 2007 National Hardware Show and was recognized as the Product of the Year by Hardware Retailing magazine.

The system's water distribution tank avoids the problem of leaky faucets, helping to conserve water and prevent moisture damage. And because Oasis is powered by a single 9V battery that provides enough power to operate the system for up to one year, it helps you save money on electricity bills.

The Claber Oasis Automatic Drip Watering System is easy to install right out of the box--setup takes just minutes. And with its intuitive design that features a single set of controls, the Oasis is a snap to use. Simply place the unit on a sturdy surface that's at least 2-1/2 feet above your tallest pot, insert a 9V battery (not included), install the system's distribution hose and drippers, fill the tank with water and choose your program. It's that easy!

An added bonus, an LED signals when the Oasis is in operation or when the battery is low, so you never have to worry about your plants going without the water they need. One 9V battery will power your system for an entire year.

Large Tank with Electronic Timer and Four Different Watering ProgramsThe distribution tank has a capacity of 6.6 gallons and features four convenient watering programs: 10, 20, 30, and 40 days. Each program is designed to deliver a perfectly calibrated amount of water to as many as 20 plants, so you can stop worrying about over- or under-watering. And with a built-in electronic timer and water-saving bi-stable solenoid valve, this unique watering system guarantees efficient delivery of water each and every time you use it.

The Oasis precisely measures water to suit your specific needs. Each program waters twice per day, and the amount of water is equally distributed to your plants. The 10-day program delivers 4.05 ounces of water per dripper per day; the 20-day program delivers 2.02 ounces of water per dripper per day; the 30-day program delivers 1.35 ounces of water per dripper per day; and the 40-day program delivers 1.01 ounces of water per dripper per day. Generally speaking, one dripper is sufficient for small and medium plants; two drippers are recommended for larger plants.

Easy Cleaning and StorageCleaning the Oasis takes just minutes: simply wipe all of the parts with a damp rag and let dry. The internal water filter can also be treated with a mixture of water and distilled vinegar to eliminate any lime scale.

The Oasis Self-Watering System's small profile allows for easy storage in a closet or cabinet. Preparing the unit for storage is simple: just remove the battery, drain the water from the tank and hose, clean, dry, and store.

The Oasis Automatic Drip Watering System's attractive, modern styling fits well with any décor, and its soft rubber feet keep it secure on any surface and eliminate scratching. To ensure long-lasting use, the Oasis features high-quality materials and construction and is backed by a 2-year warranty.

What's in the BoxDistribution system, 20 drippers, 33-foot circuit hose, and 20 fixing stakes
