Collection: Terracotta Ollas

TERRACOTTA OLLAS FOR YOUR GARDEN

How to use an olla

Bury your olla in your garden bed, raised planter or pot, leaving the neck and opening exposed. Fill it with water and replace the cork or topper. The porous clay releases moisture slowly into the surrounding soil, keeping roots evenly hydrated. Refill every few days depending on weather and soil type. Visit our resources for a full outline. 

Perfect for Australian conditions

Terracotta olla irrigation pots are particularly effective in hot, dry climates where surface watering quickly evaporates. By delivering moisture directly to the root zone, ollas reduce evaporation, support drought resilience and help maintain consistent soil moisture during extended heat. They are ideal for vegetable gardens, herbs and native plantings that benefit from deep, infrequent watering.

Why garden with ollas

Ollas save time, reduce water waste and promote deeper, healthier root growth. They can be used in all kinds of gardening scenarios and are the perfect low maintenance plant babysitter if you're away, or you tend to forget about watering altogether. 

Choosing the right sized olla

Smaller spike-style ollas are suited to compact pots and indoor plants, while medium and large bottle-shaped ollas provide deeper hydration for raised beds, vegetable gardens and larger containers. Using multiple ollas allows you to water more efficiently across different areas of your garden.

Sustainable by design

Made from fine terracotta, our ollas are endlessly reusable. With no moving parts or plastic components, they offer an eco-friendly, low-impact way to keep your plants happy and your gardening thriving.

Beautiful, practical and environmentally concious, ollas make a unique gift for garden lovers. Their timeless design and sustainability set them apart; something the gardener in your life may not already have, but will use and love for seasons to come.
