    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    I have a couple of succulent arrangements in very wide and shallow pots. The nursery pots are very hard to remove from the cache pots, so I don’t like how to water these. Would these globes do the trick?

  • @kirkguindon5029
    @kirkguindon5029 23 дня назад

    Here is a Hack get the plastic ones drill hole in top to fit a drip line in hole have watering source come on once a week for a couple of minutes to drip into globe, get your timing down and you should never have to fill again especially for indoor plants that will not see rain or the drippers over water smaller plants ending up in a mess if placed directly on the plant soil surface. Globe then becomes a great time saver once set up.

    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.

    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
      @Seabastial 2 года назад +1

      Lavender plants prefer well drained soil

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

    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
      @MousetrapGenius  2 года назад +3

      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.

  • @paulina4983

    • @lasantajones9703
      @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

  • @Angelceflora

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

    • @Tinkerbellmad09
      @Tinkerbellmad09 2 года назад +1

      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

    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.

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