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

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.

Well made and just the right size to place in my planter. They cover 18 inches in all directions. I fill them twice a week. Great to keep plants fed when I'm away. Water goes straight to the roots and no water is lost due to evaporation. I would buy again.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Gute Qualität und macht was es soll

Used these to keep my herb and flower gardens irrigated when away for 3-5 days. The plants closest to the pots did great and could tell the difference the further away the plants were from the pots got extras this year so I could space them about 2 feet from eachother.
