Large or small watering globe: which size does your plant need?
A watering globe for plants sounds simple — globe in the pot, done. But the size of your globe makes a world of difference for proper plant watering. Too small and your plant is dry within two days. Too large and the water overflows.
Size guide: which globe suits which plant?
- Small houseplant such as cactus or succulent — pot smaller than 12cm — recommended: Minismus standard pack — lasts 5 to 7 days
- Medium plant such as pothos or ficus — pot 12 to 20cm — recommended: Minismus standard pack — lasts 7 to 10 days
- Large houseplant such as monstera or palm — pot larger than 20cm — recommended: Minismus XXL 700ml — lasts 10 to 14 days
- Outdoor planter or vegetable garden — variable pot — recommended: terracotta olla — lasts 5 to 10 days
Why is the XXL 700ml so popular?
The Minismus XXL watering globe 700ml is the best-selling size for watering plants — and for good reason. The capacity is large enough for most medium to large houseplants, and thanks to the 30cm stem it reaches deep into the pot to the roots. This promotes maximum plant growth, less frequent refilling, and better performance during holidays.
Using multiple globes
Do you have an extremely large plant or planter? Then use multiple globes side by side as a drip system for plants. Check out our 12-pack for the best price per globe. Read also our tips on watering plants during holidays.
The angle determines the flow
The size of the globe is not the only variable — the setting also determines how quickly water flows. More about this in our blog about setting the flow of your watering globe.
