An ancient, eco-friendly watering system used over 2000 years ago is changing the way modern small-space gardeners keep their plants hydrated! With its unique slow-release low-tech design, this simple clay vessel can turn your garden into a easy-care, high-yielding urban oasis. Here are 10 compelling reasons why every gardener needs one of these humble but powerful pots.
1. Water Delivered To Roots
1. Water Delivered To Roots
No wasted water: Unlike modern sprinklers and hoses that douse everything - including weeds - Terracotta Waterpot Ollas deliver water directly at the plant's root zone. The porous clay slowly wicks moisture into the soil, giving your plants just the right amount of hydration while minimising wastage to run-off and evaporation. It’s precision watering at its finest.

Stop watching your water bill climb! Terracotta waterpots can reduce water usage by up to 70% compared to hose or sprinkler systems. Because they only release water as the soil dries, you’ll never overwater (or under-water!) your garden again. It’s kinder to your wallet and the Planet.
3. Healthier, Stronger Plants
