Q: How long do plant watering globes last before refilling?
It depends on the plant and the weather, but each fill of about 13 oz of water typically keeps a potted plant watered for up to a week.
XC479 - Watering Bulb
Each of these art-glass bulbs is individually hand blown in Poland, renowned for its decorative glassmaking tradition.
Unlike thinner, more fragile imitators, these are built to last when used indoors or out. Not only are they beautiful, but they will also water your potted plant for up to a week, depending on the size.
Water the plant normally and then fill the bulb with water, poke a hole in the soil, and insert the stem into the hole. As the soil dries, it will draw the water from the bulb.
Measures approximately 3 1/2" × 13" and holds about 13 oz of water. Because the bulbs are hand blown, each has unique variations in color and size. Great for keeping plants watered while you are away.

Yes, they hold up well outdoors since each is hand blown to be sturdier than thinner imitators, though it's best to bring glass globes indoors before a hard frost.
Water the plant normally, fill the bulb with water, then poke a hole in the soil and insert the stem so the soil draws water from the bulb as it dries.
