It can be a challenge to keep on top of your gardening tasks while trying to balance all your other chores.
Now thanks to Home Bargains you can "keep your plants thriving" for up to 10 days at a time.
The Jardin Perfect Garden Watering Globe is available in a two-pack for just 99p.
"These clever globes provide up to 10 days of hydration, making plant care a breeze for busy gardeners or those jetting off on holiday," the description read.
Simply fill the globe with water and place the spout into the soil of your flowerbed.
These globes have been described as "the perfect solution to keep your plants healthy and flourishing".
They are guaranteed to "help your plants grow and bloom by delivering the right amount of water over time".
Each globe holds 0.45 litres of water and is designed to water your plants for up to 10 days.
Whether you have multiple flowerbeds or an indoor potted plant, these globes are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The watering globes are regarded as an easy way to ensure your plants get the care they need with "minimal effort".
I tried 'magic' Lidl garden hose - you need to get it, it's perfect for summer
Watering globes work rely on the drying soil to create a vacuum that draws water out of the globe and into the soil.
This creates the self-watering effect, keeping the soil consistently moist.
The soil regulates how much water is released, as the vacuum is only created when it dries.
This consistent moisture provides a steady supply of water to your plants' roots.
Don't be alarmed if a small amount of water initially flows out when you first place the globe in your flowerbed.

Nick Grey, Gtech Inventor and CEO shared the tasks to crack on with as Spring arrives.
1. Clean your garden
Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months. Gtech's Garden Safety Kit includes durable gardening gloves and safety glasses; perfect for comfortability whilst tackling those outdoor tasks.
2. Weeding
Early Spring is the best time to tackle weeds; if you can introduce some regular weeding into your routine, you can guarantee a tidy garden all year round.
3. Hedge maintenance
Spring is the ideal time to tidy up overgrown hedges and shrubs, as regular trimming ensures healthy growth and reduces pest issues. Using a tool like the Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can help to keep your greenery looking sharp and neat.
4. Composting
Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage.
5. Look after your lawn
Lawn care is hugely important in assuring your garden stays looking beautiful. Make sure to rake away any excess leaves and trim your grass routinely.
And Home Bargains also supply a budget buy guaranteed to brighten up your space.
Another garden light from the store is described as having a "cute" twist.
And shoppers can also pick up a £9.99 novelty decor buy that adds character to flowerbeds.
A £7 gardening gadget is also available from Home Bargains and is guaranteed to transform your lawn.
Home Bargains shoppers can choose from a variety of 20 plants available for as little as £2.99.

Gardeners are racing to Home Bargains for ‘fast-growing' plant that's better than a Flamingo tree for adding privacy
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) YOU don't have to build a massive fence to add privacy to your garden this summer. A "fast-growing" Home Bargains buy can help to transform your outdoor space. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Home Bargains shoppers can pick up a plant that eventually adds privacy to their space (stock image) Credit: Getty 3 Gardening enthusiasts pointed out how 'fast-growing' the Pink Marble Phontinia Fraserai Credit: Facebook Gardening experts recommend utilising plants to elevate your privacy. Fast-growing plants can help to create natural boundaries in your space. Whether you're placing them in your flower beds or pots, these additions can transform your garden. And now, you can take this step without breaking the budget with a savvy deal. A gardening enthusiast shared the find on the Facebook page Gardening on a Budget. "Home Bargains, they have just got them in," she wrote alongside a photo of a Pink Marble Photinia Fraserai. The Home Bargains shopper revealed the potted plants cost £25 each. "Think I'm going to go back tomorrow and buy one," she added. The Facebook user explained that she's "always wanted" one of the "fast-growing" plants. Other gardening fans compared the buy to Flamingo trees in the comments section. Shayna's DIY Privacy Fence: Simple and Effective Many also pointed out how big the plant is expected to grow over the years. "Hope you have a large space for it as they grow enormous unless you constantly trim it," wrote one commenter. "I bought the red robin version last year for £25. It's grown so much. Was definitely great value," said another person. "I bought one from there last year and it's doing amazingly well. It's a good price too. I have mine in a tub," shared a third reader. Another Home Bargains shopper shared her experience with the plant. How to create privacy in your garden CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden: 1. Fencing Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy. 2. Hedges and Plants Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier. 3. Outdoor Curtains Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution. 4. Sound Barriers A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern. "I've bought loads of them from Home Bargains, I'm planning to keep them in the topiary shape," she said. "I've got the Red Robin and the Pink Marble, they look gorgeous when the sun catches them." Another customer agreed that the plant is "well worth the money". "Please bear in mind if you don't keep them in a pot they can grow to over 30 foot tall," advised one commenter. "Photinia look stunning as standards. As long as you continue to prune them or they will revert to a bush," agreed another person.
