Mission Gallery Plant Watering Globes Set of 6 — Small 100 ml Hand-Blown Glass Self-Watering Bulbs, Slow-Drip for Indoor Plants

These are six small, handcrafted glass self-watering globes from Mission Gallery, each holding 100 ml to release water slowly and keep potted plants hydrated for up to about five days.

Mission Gallery’s Plant Watering Globes Set of 6 offers a low-effort way to maintain soil moisture between regular waterings. Made of blown glass, the bulbs are designed to drip water gradually into potting mix so you don’t have to water as often. They are compact and unobtrusive, suitable for indoor containers, small outdoor pots, succulents, cacti, and hanging planters. Results depend on plant size, potting medium and local climate, so occasional soil checks remain important.

How do these watering globes actually release water?

The globes operate by gravity and soil moisture tension: water leaves the bulb through a narrow neck when the surrounding soil is drier, and stops when the soil is moist. This passive system prevents constant saturation while delivering a steady micro-dosage to roots.

• 100 ml capacity per globe for measured delivery
• Slow drip action activated by dry soil contact
• Hand-blown glass with a tapered neck for controlled flow
• Angle placement (about 75–85°) recommended for reliable operation

Which plants and situations are these globes best suited for?

The small globes are ideal for plants that prefer moderate or infrequent watering rather than constant wetness. They work well for many houseplants, small outdoor pots and water-sensitive varieties like succulents and certain hanging plants.

• Indoor potted plants and office planters
• Small outdoor containers and balcony pots
• Succulents, cacti and plants that dislike overwatering
• Hanging planters where regular watering is inconvenient

How long will each globe keep plants watered while I’m away?

Each 100 ml globe can supply water for roughly up to five days under average conditions, though climate, pot size and plant water needs will change that estimate. Use these as short-term solutions for weekend trips or to reduce daily watering frequency.

• Approximate duration: up to ~5 days per globe under moderate conditions
• Shorter periods in hot, dry climates or with thirsty plants
• Layer multiple globes in larger pots to extend coverage
• Check soil moisture before and after travel to adjust usage

How should I place and maintain the watering globes for best results?

Insert each globe at a 75–85° angle so the neck is slightly buried in soil and the bulb sits tilted. Fill with water, gently push the neck into the potting mix and top off as needed. Clean periodically to prevent mineral buildup and inspect for cracks.

• Place the globe angled, neck embedded in soil for steady release
• Fill from top; avoid forceful insertion that can break glass
• Rinse bulb occasionally to prevent clogging or deposits
• Store indoors when not in use to protect from frost and impacts

Who is this for: The Mission Gallery Plant Watering Globes Set of 6 (Small) is made for busy plant owners, weekend travelers, office gardeners and anyone who wants an easy way to reduce the risk of missed waterings without automating or rewiring their space. They’re a good match for small to medium pots, water-sensitive species, and people who prefer a glass, reusable option over plastic spikes or electronic timers.
