Olla Water

Reduce the time spent watering plants to once a week or less by burying Olla Water in the soil next to your plants then fill with water. It will ensure that every drop is delivered direct to the roots while wasting very little to evaporation. You can extend the length of time between filling by applying a mulch around the plants and the neck of the Olla, this will reduce evaporation even further. 

The terracotta pot is fired to a low temperature which makes it porous, this allows water to seep slowly out of the pot and into the soil. As long as there is still water inside, soil moisture is maintained in a ring around the pot as far out as the pot is wide. 

The plants soon learn where the water is coming from and wrap their roots around the pot, taking a drink when they need it. However, when growing plants from seed or transplating seedlings, help them along with a bit of water onto the surface until their roots are more esablished.

• Perfect for large containers, greenhouses and raised beds.
• Fill each pot to the brim with water.
• The pot maintains consistent soil moisture over several days.
• Roots grow around the pot, drawing water through the terracotta when needed.
• Avoid damaging sensitive leaves while watering.
• Dormant weed seeds on the surface left undisturbed.
• Do not use with fertiliser as this will clog up the pores.
