the topsy-turvys are hard to keep watered, you need to dribble the water in real slow so it doesn't just flow out the bottom before the soil can soak it up or the plant goes dry. my wife keeps buying these damn globes and insists that i use them, this is the best use for them so far but they're a pain to keep filled too. they either clog or empty quickly, and i'm still dribble watering from the watering can too. PITA the whole thing is i tell ya!
