Thanks for hanging out!
Its 6 in the morning and you've already hit me with the word moist multiple times lol
You’re welcome
I work in labor and delivery. We all hate that word🤣😂🤣🤣
u know u like it!!!
At least he made an effort to avoid saying doo-doo with "what it doesn't do and what it .. will work for"
LMAO
I like to use these to encourage deep root growth for my plants. I usually put them all the way to the bulb and water the plant till the soil is saturated and that usually gets the roots growing after planting, then as the soil dries out the roots chase the moisture deeper to the depth where i put the bulb, and thus far, my potted plants love it
Apollo Which type of plants would this be beneficial for? All of my plants like to be dried out before watering
Finally my watering globes don't clog anymore, thank you!
Great job. I'm going to use these for my mothers plants that I'm taking to the cemetery this weekend. Fingers crossed.
Thank you for this just got some cheap plastic ones could not get water in till saw your video hope faucet water doesn't kill my plants hard water here in Texas
Thank you for this video. I was not at all sure how to use these bulbs that I just ordered. I think I have been vacillating between over and under watering.
It works great with potted citrus trees that like damp but not soggy soil. I need three for the size of my tree until I can get it established.
Can also fill them by submerging them in water. Probably less tedious than using the faucet.
Could you make a video on common houseplants that like to stay consistently moist or houseplants that like the flood and dry method.
HAHAH at the word MOIST! Never thought about it getting clogged and using a pencil to keep that from happening! Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Least he didn't say do do
Very informative, thanks for making this vid. I am learning something new
Nuthin wrong with the word moist! Can describe a few things that come to mind. Thanks for this video on globes/orbs! I picked some up at Dollar General to give a try. Cheerz!
Is there a list somewhere that has all the plants these are good for? I've been looking but I can't find any. I have several different plants that all require different frequencies of being watered and I don't know which ones these would be useful for.
First time using a water globe,
I placed one in a plant with the soil feeling moist and the globe emptied out within an hour…What am I doing wrong?
Are they any good with starting seeds? I'm looking to plant Pomegranate seeds.
Thanks, I have a potted plant that is not near a water source to integrate into a drip system. The globe should work fine
Thanks. Just started using them on my herbs.
They’re great for watering that one aloe Vera without stabbing myself a dozen times.😅
Im using this globes because I have a really bad problem with this little bugs , or flies you named! People say is because u used too much water! I just hope this can help 😕
Sound ideal for ferns
For longer water endurance in a pot, multiple globes can be used.
Why have you put one of these in your lavender’s pot? Do they not prefer dry?
I’m asking because I’ve just gotten my first.
Lavender plants prefer well drained soil
Super helpful
I am going on holiday for two weeks and wondering if these will keep them watered til I'm back. Can Anyone advise if they are good for this?
DId you figure it out?
Do you know if they would work well on 🍅tomato plants for a week?
Depends on the size of the tomato plant, but probably.
HOW do you fill these things, directly under the tap aint working for my new set. this is craziness bought a funnel hopefully that works. I dont have time to set at sink 5 min at a time.
I saw reviews online of some people saying it would immediately drain the whole thing when they put it in and others said that would happen unless they put it in correctly… what’s correctly? I’m going on a 2 week trip and buying them as backup for the pet sitter who will also be caring for them intermittently
If the soil is too loosely packed it may drain too quickly. If the orb is firmly seated in the soil it should not drain immediately. It took a bit of practice for me to find the right balance.
How do you slow the drip?? I’ve attempted plugging it and still empties, floods my plants within the hour of planting
Thank you
I find them really hard to fill. Do you have any suggestions to make them easier to fill?
I just turn my faucet on very low & it goes right in!
Fill a large container and submerge them….like putting a water gun in a pail of water
10 people hate the word “moist”.
Als de bol na 1 dag leeg is dan gelijk weer vullen met water??
Can this be useful for carnivorous sundews?
Well for me ,they only last few days ! Not weeks!
so would it be a bad idea if I use one of these with my cacti?
I'd say it might nor be the best as most succulents prefer to be submerged in water rather then have damp soil, sand ect
Do you suggest globing Monsteras?
Hi, can these be used for indoor plants such a ferns and spider plants?
Yes. Definitely.
Love this blondie
Do you think this would be beneficial for orchids? Thanks in advance
I have one in my orchid, it’s been there for 2 years & the plant is growing like crazy!
Kristy Dee, any idea how this would pair with a Venus fly trap - Seems novel & aesthetically appealing !
Would this work with cannabis plants?
Ok but how the hell do you fill 30 at a time without it being a painstaking process involving a trickle from the sink or a syringe. I wanted to fill mine with miracle grow fertilizer mixture. I used a galles jug and sheer will- and it took a full 30 mins to fill them. I had to pour it over a bug bowl and siphon the water back into the hub several times. Help.
Typos! Lol *gallon jug, *big bowl, *jug
Could you put thr mixture ina bucket and submerge then till the bubbles stop coming out ??
Do i still need to water my plant if the globe is still filled with water?
Following
.
Would you recommend this for succulents?
Same question. I’m thinking my succulents may prefer top watering & being flooded. They don’t seem to care too much for bottom watering. I read/hear they like for their soil to drain water so idk about the stake
A week is a long Vacation.
I wish you’d tell us which plants need this type watering. And, do you have you sell for Amazon? They practically own the whole world, it seems. 😬Let’s patronize other businesses-maybe some that pay their fair share of taxes and have great ethics.
What would a Venus Fly Trap reveal from this method ?
Venus fly traps need barely any water because they get there nutrients from eating
venus fly traps prefer bottled water
When you've got a lot of plants it's even more unfeasible.
куда-то закатилась за шкаф цель канала чтоли?... ладно пока удачи
These r a pain to fill.. not worth the frustration
Nah for asmr
:D
I think they are useless.
