Olla Watering Pot Clay Irrigation System (Set of 2)

The olla watering pot is a buried clay container designed to deliver water directly to plant roots. Once filled, it releases moisture slowly through the porous clay, giving plants consistent hydration while minimising surface evaporation. This system saves water and helps plants thrive with less frequent watering.

Available in a choice of sizes to suit everything from planters and pots to raised beds and garden borders. Choose from pairs of 250ml, 600ml or 1 litre olla pots, or a larger single 2 litre olla pot. The narrow, deep design makes them ideal for planters too.

Olla Watering Pot For Deep Root Irrigation

The porous clay walls release moisture gradually, encouraging roots to grow deeper and stronger. This helps plants cope better in dry periods and keeps soil moisture balanced naturally without overwatering or runoff.
