The set includes eight identical ollas designed to fit inside pots or garden soil; once filled, they steadily seep water where plant roots can access it. Because they work through simple capillary action rather than electronics or wicks, they’re durable, reusable and easy to integrate into your current plant care routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these ollas keep soil evenly moist?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe porous clay gradually allows stored water to pass through its walls into surrounding soil.
