If you need a hand hydrating your houseplants, whether that's day-to-day or during a trip away from home, watering globes are a cheap and effective solution. Made of plastic or glass, they are small devices that you fill with water and pop into your potted plants. They then release the water over time.
I first found out about them last year, when researching ways to water my plants on vacation. After soaring temperatures, I expected a sorry sight on my return, but they kept my indoor garden happy and healthy. And it seems I'm not the only one they've impressed.
