Discover the Self-Watering Terracotta Olla: Effortless Plant Care

For plant lovers seeking a smarter, hands-off approach to watering, the Self-Watering Terracotta Olla is your perfect companion. This handmade terra-cotta vessel brings an ancient irrigation technique into modern indoor gardening, delivering water straight to your plant roots while reducing waste and guesswork. With a colorful hand-glazed lid in Dark Blue or Peppermint Green, every piece is unique—combining practicality with artisan charm.

Why Choose This Self-Watering Terracotta Olla?

Experience the magic of consistent watering with minimal effort. Simply bury the olla in your planter, fill it with water, and let it work its underground magic. The porous terra-cotta slowly releases water directly to plant roots, helping prevent overwatering and surface moisture. Ideal for 8″–12″ houseplants, it holds 1 pint of water and reduces the need for frequent watering. Handmade in Menasha, Wisconsin by the talented duo Karen & Matt Wosoba, this olla adds a touch of creativity and tradition to your gardening routine.
