Back to the Roots Self-Watering Terracotta Olla Pot (Pack of 3), 700mL Provides 1 Week of Precision Watering

I bought this to make watering more consistent without constantly guessing when my plants are thirsty, and it does exactly that. Once it’s set up, the plant can take what it needs, and my soil stays more evenly moist instead of swinging between dry and drenched. What I like: - Helps smooth out watering, especially if you forget a day or two - Easy to use once it’s in the soil - Nice, clean look that doesn’t feel like plastic hardware sticking out of a pot Good to know: - It works best when it’s buried securely so it doesn’t wobble - You still need to match it to the pot size and the plant’s thirst level (small pots or heavy drinkers may need refills more often) - If your soil is super compacted, loosening it a bit can help the water distribute more naturally If you want lower-maintenance, more consistent watering, this is a great little upgrade.

I decided to purchase because my sprinklers went out in my garden. I tend to forget to water and thought, why not. I decided to put this next to my summer squash, one by my cucumbers and one in my peppermint pot. We'll during the summer everything still thrived as in addition when I watered, I would fill these up. The peppermint did ok, but I think it's because of the heat and not because of this. I decided to purchase another set and prep my garden again with these. You can't see it sticking out so looks hidden in the garden and hasn't broken, so it's nice and thick. I do like how much water it holds. As for the installation, it was easy. Just dig a hole and keep the top part a bit above, so no dirt or soil goes in and it's done. Then fill it up with water. Works great

These ollas really help release moisture gradually in my veggie garden, which is a problem living in the desert SW. I do not have an automatic watering system (too expensive to install), so this helps encourage plants to root deeper and get the water down there. Affordable and easy to fill by hand during your watering routine.

These things work! I use them in pots and grow bags. Dropped in where I have vining plants, tomatoes, peppers, and flowers. Like them so much I'm a repeat buyer as scale out across all my 1-10 gallon pots. For the price they knock it out the park. Highly recommend!

Keeps my plants hydrated. I’m happy with the results. The price is reasonable. Great quality. Easy to use and refill.

I first became aware of the concept of slow-drip terra cotta systems from a documentary about a zero-footprint property with a subsistance garden in arid north L.A. When I set up a raised bed for tomatoes on a south-facing slope, I embedded three of these alongside three tomato plants. Knowing the growing root networks for my plants are addressed below the surface has provided me confidence amid a summer with record-breaking heat. This provides a level of plant support between early morning and late evening watering that keeps our plants from being overwatered. Not only is this a great win for ecological watering, it’s a means of addressing the whole plant. That my plants are growing a great volume of fruit is no coincidence. These allow me to gauge just how much additional water my plants need without overwatering “just in case.” The bonus is if you cannot water for a day or so, you can feel good about the roots being fed in a measured, responsible manner. Don’t hesitate to get these!

the biggest drawback I read in reviews of other ollies was their fragility. these are NOT fragile. beautifully and CAREFULLY packaged complete in individual boxes with cardboard collars around each to prevent breakage. the collars can later be placed around your plants as collars to prevent weeds growing around the plant. i will be buying MORE of these. they are beautiful and well made.

These Olla Pots really do make a difference. I have them in large pots in my front island and do not have to water them everyday - I can usually go about 3 days. Very pleased with this product!

I bought these in desperation to keep my pot plants alive!! I love them! I know my plants are watered all the time, I don’t have to remember every single day! They work a treat!!

Excelente produto. Mantém a hidratação nos vasos. As plantas passam a apresentar melhor aparência.

Muy bien empacado Cumple con lo esperado

This morning it is 26 below zero Celsius with a windchill of 37 below zero Celsius. I won't be able to place the OLLAs into the garden until early May. Thus far I am well pleased with the OLLAs I have received and look forward to using only the rain barrel water to water the garden. I am really happy I ordered early. The wait was well worth my time. I will write a further review in August. I am sure I will be very pleased with the OLLAs.

Gute Qualität und macht was es soll
