Handcrafted in Portugal
Our Ollas are handmade in Portugal by our master potters, in the workshops of Ana & Vitor, in the Leiria region — where ceramic craftsmanship has been passed down through generations.
Each of our ollas is a unique handcrafted object; no two have exactly the same texture or surface, which makes each one one-of-a-kind.
A system as old as the earth (ware)
ollas use an ancestral technique dating back to antiquity: the natural porosity of the ceramic allows water to seep out slowly and directly at root level, ensuring optimal hydration.
It's a method that respects the natural rhythm of plants, supplying them with the water they need, when they need it.

Frequently asked questions
What is an olla?
An olla is a terracotta pot designed to water your plants autonomously and efficiently. It gradually releases water to hydrate your plants continuously.
How do I use an olla?
Plant the olla in the pot, close to your plant — just make sure to leave part of the olla sticking out. Fill it with water and you're done! Now sit back and watch your plants grow!
How often should I fill the olla?
Generally, filling the olla once a week is enough, but this can vary depending on the climate and the type of plant.
Can I use an olla with all my plants?
Yes, ollas are suitable for all green plants, both indoors and outdoors.
They're ideal for plants that need consistently moist soil.
Just remember, if you use them outdoors, bring them inside when it freezes ❄️
Can the olla harm my plants?
No, the olla delivers water in measured amounts, avoiding the risk of overwatering and promoting the optimal health of your plants 💚
Where should I place the olla in the pot for maximum effect?
Place the olla near your plant so the water is distributed evenly to the roots. Make sure the olla is in good contact with the soil.
What should I do when I go on holiday?
The olla is an ideal solution to keep your plants hydrated while you're away. Fill it with water before you leave, and it will look after your plants until you're back.
For longer getaways, we recommend watering the surface and filling your olla — it will take over as soon as your plant has absorbed the surface water.
Does the olla work with pots of all sizes?
Yes, we offer different sizes of ollas to suit different pots and different plants.
For pots smaller than 15cm in diameter, we recommend our Mini Ollas
How do I care for my olla?
Rinse the olla with clean water from time to time to remove any mineral build-up. And that's it!
