Small Terracotta Garden Pot Hydrator

This is an ancient, highly efficient, slow-release hydration method that stretches back 4,000 years. Low fire terra cotta left unglazed has a porous structure allows moisture to pass through the walls, but it only happens when the soil around it is dry, making this an ancient “smart” technology. Our version is made by a family-run business that has been selling beautifully made pottery crafted on-site at their studio in Staffordshire, England, a traditional center for stoneware in the UK. To use, place in the dirt, leaving the lip proud, then simply fill with water. As the soil around it dries, soil tension and plant roots pull the water out; when the soil around it is moist, the water stays inside the vessel. This consistent slow watering is far better for the plants health as it creates a strong root structure. The small ½ cylinder design makes it ideal for tucking into wall planters, house plants, and small outdoor pots.  4 ⅓” H x 1 ½” Diameter.
