As Seen on TV...kind of

So not since "Set it and forget it" have I been excited by an infomercial. Aqua Globes had me hooked from the first time I saw this commercial. Or maybe it was its closeness to Aqua Net. They seemed to be the answer to my plant watering problems at the office. The problem being me not having enough time or every remembering to water the plants. So when I saw that they would double my order now. I ordered now. And yesterday my individually packed aqua globes came in the mail. I dropped all the work I was doing to rip open the package and admire the hand blown glass in 4 different colors. They were bigger than I imagined and they were pretty cool. I read the instructions, because I am a nerd like that and began filling and inserting my aqua globes into the various plants (that were still alive) in the office. They were pretty and I was happy knowing that I would not have to worry about watering the plants for 2 whole weeks. Well today my little cloud of happiness was shattered when I checked on the aqua globes. I had followed the instructions and yet still they were not working properly. See I found the flaw. Once the stem is inserted into the soil and some water is released the wet soil gets gunked up in the stem and no more water can get out. Oh my soul was crushed. Why do infomercials always leave me feeling cold and empty. So despite their beauty and unbelievable price tag, I cannot recommend these to my peeps!
