Bring Ancient Wisdom into Modern Plant Care
The Self-Watering Terracotta Olla is a beautifully handcrafted solution for plant lovers who want to nurture greenery without the constant worry of watering schedules. Inspired by centuries-old irrigation practices, this eco-friendly vessel uses the natural porosity of terracotta to hydrate your plants efficiently and consistently.
Why the Self-Watering Terracotta Olla Stands Out
Handmade by Wisconsin artisans, each olla combines function and charm. Simply bury it in your planter, fill with water, and let the vessel quietly release moisture directly to plant roots. The hand-glazed lid, available in Dark Blue or Peppermint Green, keeps out debris while adding a splash of personality. No two lids are alike, making every piece one of a kind.
