Watering needs can also vary because of the needs of the plant itself. Plants need more or less water at different points in their own life cycles. A plant going through a growth spurt or setting fruit may need more water than usual. A plant that is getting ready to go dormant will need less.
Even moving your plant can affect the rate at which it uses water. Move a plant from a sunny window to a cooler corner of the house, and you will decrease its need for water. If you keep to the same watering schedule, you could end up over-watering the plant and making it vulnerable to root rot.
Aqua Globes eliminate all of those issues by taking their cue from the soil itself. When the soil dries out enough to need more water, more water is released into the soil. The Aqua Globe doesn't actually "sense" when the soil is dry, it's a mechanical response based on physics.
Will Aqua Globes Work for All Plants?
Aqua Globes are the ideal solution for plants that need to be kept in consistent soil conditions. Most houseplants are in this category. When you use Aqua Globes, the soil never dries out completely, or gets waterlogged. That eliminates the stress placed on the plants by trying to adapt to varying soil conditions. There are some plants that do better in dry sandy soil or rely on "drought" conditions as part of their blossoming cycle. These plants may become waterlogged by using the Aqua Globe, but they are in the minority.
