You’re welcome

I work in labor and delivery. We all hate that word🤣😂🤣🤣

At least he made an effort to avoid saying doo-doo with "what it doesn't do and what it .. will work for"

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

@NicoleL-hl6vl 4 года назад

Apollo Which type of plants would this be beneficial for? All of my plants like to be dried out before watering

@dieyoung8259 3 года назад

Great job. I'm going to use these for my mothers plants that I'm taking to the cemetery this weekend. Fingers crossed.

@Anikanoteven 4 месяца назад

Could you make a video on common houseplants that like to stay consistently moist or houseplants that like the flood and dry method.

@saltysalad3868 3 года назад

Finally my watering globes don't clog anymore, thank you!

@Felevr 4 года назад

Very informative, thanks for making this vid. I am learning something new

@conniefuller7768 4 года назад

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.

@TheOctoberDeathBird 10 месяцев назад

Thanks. Just started using them on my herbs.

@8thhousealchemist600 4 года назад

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.

@lyndsieb701 3 года назад

Super helpful

@ToniBaloney619 4 года назад

HAHAH at the word MOIST! Never thought about it getting clogged and using a pencil to keep that from happening! Thanks!

@MousetrapGenius 4 года назад

You’re welcome!

@nicolasachee9765 3 года назад

Least he didn't say do do

@dmax06 Год назад

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!

@Lycan_24_7 3 года назад

Thanks, I have a potted plant that is not near a water source to integrate into a drip system. The globe should work fine

@kimberlycabanas2496 3 года назад

Can also fill them by submerging them in water. Probably less tedious than using the faucet.

@Urbanbarbie943 4 года назад

Thank you

@cassandrastillman8796 Год назад

They’re great for watering that one aloe Vera without stabbing myself a dozen times.😅

@Seabastial 2 года назад

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.

@MR1shank 3 года назад

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.

@marleengruben1811 4 года назад

Als de bol na 1 dag leeg is dan gelijk weer vullen met water??

@spiketeddy1 Год назад

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?

@werone696 3 года назад

Are they any good with starting seeds? I'm looking to plant Pomegranate seeds.

@GreenPorridge19 2 года назад

Can this be useful for carnivorous sundews?

@gabrielsierra6890 7 месяцев назад

For longer water endurance in a pot, multiple globes can be used.

@angelgiffen8081 25 дней назад

How do you slow the drip?? I’ve attempted plugging it and still empties, floods my plants within the hour of planting

@Sergei_Ivanovich_Mosin Год назад

Sound ideal for ferns

@anaramos6257 2 года назад

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 😕

@shho448 3 года назад

Do you suggest globing Monsteras?

@kareneckert1634 3 года назад

Do you know if they would work well on 🍅tomato plants for a week?

@MousetrapGenius 2 года назад

Depends on the size of the tomato plant, but probably.

@jamesw8699 3 года назад

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.

@Seabastial 2 года назад

Lavender plants prefer well drained soil

@feegarewal5593 11 месяцев назад

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?

@amypolzella8349 6 месяцев назад

DId you figure it out?

@Sriram24044 2 года назад

Hi, can these be used for indoor plants such a ferns and spider plants?

@MousetrapGenius 2 года назад

Yes. Definitely.

@lizalove91 2 года назад

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

@MousetrapGenius 2 года назад

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.

@shangaosurprise 4 года назад

I find them really hard to fill. Do you have any suggestions to make them easier to fill?

@kristydee4998 4 года назад

I just turn my faucet on very low & it goes right in!

@ardochane21204 2 года назад

Fill a large container and submerge them….like putting a water gun in a pail of water

@crystalcastro5867 2 года назад

so would it be a bad idea if I use one of these with my cacti?

@Tinkerbellmad09 2 года назад

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

@jasmineserrano9727 4 года назад

Do you think this would be beneficial for orchids? Thanks in advance

@kristydee4998 4 года назад

I have one in my orchid, it’s been there for 2 years & the plant is growing like crazy!

@gameandskate 3 года назад

Kristy Dee, any idea how this would pair with a Venus fly trap - Seems novel & aesthetically appealing !

@paulina4983 2 года назад

Would you recommend this for succulents?

@lasantajones9703 2 года назад

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

@frogger402 Год назад

Love this blondie

@GMPC Год назад

Would this work with cannabis plants?

@epulkyu 4 года назад

Do i still need to water my plant if the globe is still filled with water?

@mooghescock9003 3 года назад

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.

@mooghescock9003 3 года назад

Typos! Lol *gallon jug, *big bowl, *jug

@Tinkerbellmad09 2 года назад

Could you put thr mixture ina bucket and submerge then till the bubbles stop coming out ??

@rnavstar 4 года назад

10 people hate the word “moist”.

@gameandskate 3 года назад

What would a Venus Fly Trap reveal from this method ?

@MikeSwapp 2 года назад

Venus fly traps need barely any water because they get there nutrients from eating

@spiffypants7354 2 года назад

venus fly traps prefer bottled water

@citizenfriendly3845 2 года назад

@thatonedog819 2 года назад

When you've got a lot of plants it's even more unfeasible.

@dellerwin1 4 года назад

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.
