I've seen the commercials on it... Saw one in use at this tanning shop my sister goes to. The palm tree looked decent for being grown indoors and only receiving 6hrs of direct sunlight a day. Maybe it could work, i think it would depend on your soil. Sandy soils will just drink that water up and out into the run off tray it goes. So you'd need a heavier peat and compost mix to hold more moisture longer. Just my baked thoughts...

even though your plants leak... what about the evaporating water in the soil? wouldn't it capture that?

Its made for lazy/forgetful housewives... All their plants die anyway. Sure why not pay to kill your plants and have them look fashionable with a blue or red globe in them.

Yes they work but they can plug up if compacted soil gets in the tube.

A simple solution is to place a cotton ball at the end of the globe before inserting into the soil to protect against plugs.
