As Seen on TV is notorious for creating products that deliver fixes to everyday problems. However, sometimes their products are too good to be true - and often labeled as scams. Their latest product to receive a lot of hype is the Aqua Globes. This product is the most efficient, effortless way to keep your plants watered all of the time. However, should Aqua Globe be added to the list of products to avoid?

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.

Does it work? From my experience it has worked very well. You do have to do a few things to ensure proper performance. You must refill every 2 weeks and be careful not to clog the end of the stem with dirt. To get around this problem, simply poke a hole first and then inset the stem. This worked for me.

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.

As far as functionality, the Aqua Globe meets all standards. I have such an easy time keeping my plants healthy. I have received complements galore and many believe that I have put in tons of hard work into my plants. Truthfully, I do little maintenance and keep them watered with the Aqua Globes. It’s amazing what proper water will do to a plant’s health!
