How long do the large globes last in an average sized potted plant?

About 2 weeks on average. If the soil is more wet when the globes are filled, they'll last a bit longer.If the soil is less wet, the globes won't last as long. For a 17 day trip, we put 2 globes in our larger planters and 1 in the smaller ones and that worked quite well for the period of our trip. Though all the globes were empty when we returned, the plants were fine.

The one I'm using for my indoor plant is working flawlessly nearly 2 years after I first installed it. A 20-oz bottle of water keeps my 6-inch pot moist for about 10-14 days. I just keep refilling the bottle on that cycle. The other two spikes I used for outdoor plants. The squirrels chewed them up less than 2 weeks after I put them out.

I replanted in a 10" diameter ceramic planter. Took it to work where there's great indirect light (about 6 hours a day). Water about 1/2 a cup to 1 cup once a week. It's doing great. :)

I really can't give you the answer you need. I planted about 20 of the seeds and they all came up within about 5 or 6 days. They were healthy for a while, but I think I dropped the ball and let them get too dry and they died. All I can say is that they sprouted and started growing good in the pots, and I believe they lived about 4 weeks.

Chris,I use my globes both indoors and outdoors. Living in South Carolina, its been 104+ this year and I have had no issues with them cracking or getting damaged by the sun. I did break a couple due to my own clumsiness from dropping them however lol. You should be fine using them indoors and out...at least in hot weather I know.

Mine lasted about two years. Had both the 7' and the smaller (4.5'?) and both were always outdoors on my deck and the top (green) palms began to rust at the joints. Being battered around by winds didn't help any. The smaller one is still functioning well. I did not experience the problem of non-functioning lights as noted in the other response. Overall, I was happy with the appearance and the ambiance they lent to my outdoor area, but do wish it had been more durable.

It's about six inches. Long enough for most potted plants. Used one for years. It's great. For pros and amas alike

I had each of the in a 24 inch pot. Sadly, only one has survived and never bloomed. It has grown lovely green leaves but nothing else.

Depends on the size of the plant, your potting mix, and your climate but I would say about 1 week.

Smaller pots. Saturate your plant first, then insert filled globe. It will water your plant for about a week in 4" pots.

They probly would last at least two weeks, I used them for my daughters wedding flowers. So I added water a couple days before, I have been told from friends that you can reuse them I have not, I will use them again, they really make for a nice centerpiece,

I got 6" pots they should be fine for about a year maybe two. just reg houseplant soil but i also use plant food (miracle grow all purpose) this is a personal choice you may or may not use plant food that's your choice.they grow better with it.

I went and bought some large pots from walmart around 30 inch diam. and deep . I drilled holes in bottom of pot to match bolt pattern of light then secured the light to the pot poured in a 50 pound bag of pea stone the added potting soil and planted flowers in it and it looks great . It took all of about half hour . Erin Hill

I leave plants until they have multiple roots approximately two inches long. I have not had a plant do poorly.

Mine last 3 hours even in light breezes. I put them in flower pots around my patio.
