Back to the Roots Self-Watering Terracotta Olla Pot, 700mL Provides 1 Week of...

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'm using these in large pots for my tomato plants. Working great! I fill them with water every 2-3 days and don't worry I over/under watering them. I don't see going a week at a time between waterings like I read (somewhere). Very handy and worth the investment.

These are worth the cost. The self-watering terracotta pots are life-savers for my citrus trees in the winter when I move them to the dry inside area. Game-changer for anyone who works long days and weeks while trying to keep potted plants alive. Also useful in garden beds when placed near plants.

I am new to vegetable gardening and someone told me that they saw these used by someone on youtube and that they highly recommended these…so I figured I would give them a try. When I got my package two of the three bottles had no rubber stopper. Needless to say I wasn’t very happy about that. I contacted the seller by email and they got back to me right away and went above and beyond replacing the missing stoppers. They gave me a set of 10 plus threw in two packs of flower seeds and I received them within 2 days! The product is well made and nicely packaged. I just put them in today so I can’t remark on how they work because I would need more time for that. That is the only reason that I left one star off. They were easy to put in the dirt and are easy to fill with water and they all have stoppers on them. I am very pleased with these so far. This seller has awesome support!

I have purchased these ollas twice now. I absolutely love them! I was previously struggling to keep my balcony garden from completely drying out. Living in an apartment there was no easy way to water. Since setting these up, I can now go 3-4 days in between watering, even on the hottest days. I further extended that time to about a week and a half by simply “screwing in” some dark glass bottles with additional water on top. (Bottles are mountain valley spring water 33.8 fl oz for anyone interested in doing the same) adding these on has been a big help in gauging how much water is left. I know that if there is water still in the bottles then I am no where near needing to fill them up yet. I will continue to purchase these ollas if I decide to expand my balcony garden at all! They are just the right size for even some of my bigger grow bags. They are not flimsy at all. I love the way they look! Bonus points for their versatility since they can also support a bottle on top with a bit of finesse! The key is to make sure you’ve buried them deep enough, otherwise the water will disperse more quickly in the dry air.

Ive been gardening for a very long time now and have used these for 2 years. Heres what I found. 1.They work wonders in large pots. I have to use terracotta pots due to my location. Also for overheating and overwatering prevention. 2. Their radius in large beds is smaller than you would think. 6 inches seems to be the effective radius. Inch 5 and 6 are not as effective until the plant's roots expand. I have seen it help plants a little over 1 ft out... but not very well and for more mature plants. Whereas with spikes have a radius of maybe 3 inches at best. 3. They will drain half the bottle into the soil no matter what. I fill in house pots half way. Im fairly certain it deals with the weight/pressure forcing the water out. 4. These are excellent options for gardening. If you live in a desert then you still need to be diligent. In a square foot method it does relatively fine in the middle of a 4x4. Lastly: Dont use them during the winter and always have some kind of lid. Too much water in the pours and freezing results in a broken container. You see this with terracotta pots as well. The ice expands and essentially pushes it apart. *No cap means mosquitoes.

Would recommed for any gardener. Durable, attractive and very simple to use.

I ordered 1 for my garden and it worked great. So i ordered s second Olla pot… but it came with no cork!! I tried wine corks , but they are too small. Very disappointing.

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!!
