As soil becomes dry it releases oxygen and becomes less dense, allowing the globe to release water into the soil. As the soil becomes moist it expands, preventing the water from flowing. This process ensures that the soil always stays moist, while not overwatering the plant.
Overwatering plants can lead to mold, mildew, and fungal growth. Eventually it can lead to root rot and cause pants to die. Underwatering plants will deprive them from nourishment necessary for healthy growth and eventually can cause them to die.
The water can last up to two weeks, but the real duration depends on many factors. The type of plant, the climate, the size of the pot, and the angle at which the globe is inserted affect how quickly the plant uses the water.
The angle at which the globe is inserted matters. If the globe is inserted at a 90 degree angle it makes it more difficult for the air to escape from the globe, creating a slower drip. If the globe is inserted at 45 degrees it makes it easier for the water to be released.
