Plant Nanny Watering Globes

The globes use porous terracotta stakes that sit directly in the soil. As the soil dries out, it pulls moisture from the terracotta through a natural capillary action, releasing only the amount of water the plant actually needs.

Yes, these are designed for both environments. Just keep in mind that outdoor plants in direct sun may cause the water to deplete faster, so you will need to check the levels more frequently than you would with indoor plants.

The transparent glass design makes it easy to see the water level at a glance. When the globe looks empty or the water line is significantly low, simply pull the reservoir out, refill it, and place it back into the soil.

It is possible for soil particles to settle against the porous surface. If you notice the flow slowing down, simply wipe the terracotta stake with a soft brush or rinse it under warm water to clear the pores and restore proper function.

They work best in standard, well-draining potting mixes. If your soil is extremely loose or sandy, the stake may not make consistent contact with the earth, which can cause the water to drain too quickly.
