TOP 5: sfere autoirriganti
di lettura
Going away for the weekend and worried about coming home to a dying Pilea? Or perhaps you always forget to water until it is too late?
No need to hire a neighbour. Watering globes (and their cousins, ollas) are silent guardians that keep your plants watered while you are away.
But with blown glass, plastic and terracotta to choose from, which is right for you? Here is our selection of the 5 best self-watering systems.
1. The Most Elegant: The Blown-Glass Watering Globe
This classic combines practicality with decorative appeal. These colourful spheres catch the sunlight like jewels among the leaves.
- 💎 Design: Adds a pop of colour.
- 💧 Watering duration: 3 to 4 days (ideal for long weekends).
- 🎯 How to use: Push the stem into the soil; water flows out by gravity.
2. The Most Poetic: The Glass Birds
Subtle and charming, these little birds seem to watch over your plants. Their clear glass blends into your decor and lets you see how much water remains.
- 🐦 Shape: A gentle silhouette that children love.
- 👀 Practical: The clear glass lets you see at a glance when it is time to refill.
3. The Most Effective: Terracotta Ollas
Our favourite is Made in France. Unlike glass, which lets water flow out, the porous clay of an olla "sweats". The plant only drinks when it is thirsty.
- 🇫🇷 Handcrafted: Handmade by Poterie Lutton in Vendée.
- 🧠 Smart: Zero risk of overwatering: the clay regulates moisture.
- 🌿 Watering duration: Up to one week, depending on size.
4. The Most Economical: The Watering Globe Set
Do you have a real jungle at home? Buying blown-glass globes for 20 plants can be expensive. Plastic is the ideal option when you have lots of plants to water.
- 💰 Price: The best value for the number of globes.
- 🛡️ Unbreakable: Ideal if you have pets or clumsy children.
5. The Most Fun: The Chubby Pig
Who said gardening had to be serious? This little glass pig adds a touch of humour to your decor.
- 🎁 Gift: A perfect (and useful) surprise for a green-fingered friend.
- ✨ Unique: A departure from classic geometric shapes.
Leave with peace of mind
Whether you choose the age-old technology of ollas or a modern glass design, your plants will thank you when you return from holiday.
