Do these work when watering with the aqua globes? Is special placement of the sticks required with using these globes?

I think the position of the sticks would still be the same as just watering.

Don't know what watering with aqua globes would matter besides not placing them close to the globes

Have not used them with the aqua globes, but it would seem if placed near the water dispersal, they would dissolve. I would break in half and use on each side of the aqua globes where water is being dispensed.

Sorry, I'm an old school type of plant person--plant and dirt, fertilizer stick and water.

It should work, I don't see anything wrong with that... Put it close to the aqua globes if you don't want it to last long, or the opposite if you do want it to last...

If you're using aqua globes that empty out within 3 days, then I suggest that you fill them once a month with liquid plant food tailored for the type of plants you have. I would not use fertilizer sticks.

Yes I think so, I bought them for my container gardening. I drilled a 3in round hole in the bottom of one bucket and inserted the basket, put that bucket in another that I drilled 1/4in holes on the bottom with a 1/2in hole in 3in from the bottom, I water it from the 1/2in hole on the side and it is self watering. I water less and my Peppers, Tomatoes, and other veggies have all done great.

We made quite a few trays of blocks using this tool and yes they did hold their shape while we watered them. We made sure to moisten the soil and compact it a bit when making the blocks. We used a spray bottle and light watering methods. Just don't use a heavy hand or high pressure when watering. We did not use self watering trays, so no experience with those... You can also watch videos on how to use the soil blocker on YouTube. Good luck.

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

Yes they do. You can use a succulent plant spray every month with watering. 17-8-22 is what I use. Good Luck, If you get into this I have a lot of babies to share.

These can be used with any type of decoration. Once they swell in the water they become a fairly stable meduim to hold up flowers.

Yes! I bought these for my outdoor container plants on my deck. The glass globe ones I use on the indoor plants would not hold enough water during the warmer late spring early summer months when gone for a week or two. These do the trick! I actually use them year round!

I use them only on outdoor potted plants. You have to clean the water container more often, but the water can last more than a week if it rains frequently and less than a week if the weather is dry and hot.

They are glass so would imagine they could be used outside. Be aware they only hold about 16oz of water per globe. Even tho they may state 32oz....

I use them on my orchids and have not had a problem. You can sometimes find them cheaper. My Sister uses the Miracle-Gro sticks and she said her orchids love them. They are thin. Bayer's has an applicator but it is sometime still difficult to insert.

Depends on what you are watering. I put an emitter at each plant and control the amt of water at each with a different sized (color) emitter.

If you are using them outside, unfortunately the water will get slimy in hot and dry weather. The only suggestion I have is to change the water more frequently and only use water in the canisters-no liquid fertilizers or additives.

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.

Th ones that I have are sitting on pavers, but they are in the sprinkler water coverage for the lawn. So they do get watered, but are not directly on the lawn.

I turn the globe upside down and fill it with a hose or outdoor faucet. I then take the black tray, also upside down, and twist it onto the globe. I carry it upside down to the hook where it hangs, then carefully and slowly turn it rightside up and hang it. Some water does come out when I do this, but not much.

Yes, this is what my wife purchased them for. However...and as Ellen G. stated, they need to get adequate sunlight. This was a problem in our house in the location where my wife intended. Another thing to beware of is the watering issue. With a wall design, one might use an array of small containers to hold the plants individually; it's likely that such containers won't have drainage holes. Be very careful with over-watering the plants without drainage to the soil else you will quickly find dead succulents from root rot!

I have these in my retaining wall where they are regularly watered by the sprinklers and have not had any issues with their operation.
