Fill the water globes with water and then insert the stems into the houseplant soil.
The globes administer a steady dose of water that is absorbed as your soil dries out, which provides a more
constant moisture balance. This avoids waterlogging of the plant or the other extreme of the soil becoming
bone-dry between watering. The globe helps moderate the water that the plant receives.
FREQUENCY BETWEEN FILLING
There is no set time between refilling, so be careful of over-zealous advertising. The rate of water flow
depends on the type of soil, size and type of plant. Check if the soil is dry and refill as necessary.
Filed water globes can last up to one week in some soils but only a few days in others. The frequency of
refills depends on the size of the glass watering globe, the size of the pot, the type of soil and the type of
