Trusted by gardeners for over a decade, this time-tested method uses the natural properties of terra cotta to regulate moisture based on what plants actually need. Each Olla is crafted from \u003cstrong data-start=\"758\" data-end=\"804\"\u003e100% domestically sourced terra cotta clay\u003c\/strong\u003e and manufactured in \u003cstrong data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"844\"\u003eTucson, Arizona\u003c\/strong\u003e, then fired to an optimal temperature to balance durability and controlled porosity. The top and matching lid are finished with a \u003cstrong data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"994\"\u003elead-free glaze\u003c\/strong\u003e to protect against oxidation and extend the life of the vessel. Completely non-toxic and safe for organic gardening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1615\"\u003eWhen placed in the soil near plant roots, water stored inside the \u003cstrong data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1203\"\u003eOlla Bottle with Lid\u003c\/strong\u003e slowly seeps through the unglazed ceramic walls. As the surrounding soil dries, moisture is naturally drawn outward, allowing roots to absorb water as needed. This passive, soil-responsive system can reduce water usage by \u003cstrong data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1439\"\u003eup to 85%\u003c\/strong\u003e while minimizing evaporation and runoff. Because water is delivered below the surface, the soil above remains drier, helping to discourage pests and unnecessary moisture loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1617\" data-end=\"1997\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1645\"\u003eOlla Bottle with Lid\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in \u003cstrong data-start=\"1662\" data-end=\"1683\"\u003e10\", 12\", and 14\"\u003c\/strong\u003e heights (3\" diameter). Before full saturation, the 10\" size holds approximately \u003cstrong data-start=\"1764\" data-end=\"1785\"\u003e6 cups (⅜ gallon)\u003c\/strong\u003e, the 12\" holds \u003cstrong data-start=\"1801\" data-end=\"1822\"\u003e8 cups (½ gallon)\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the 14\" holds \u003cstrong data-start=\"1842\" data-end=\"1864\"\u003e10 cups (⅝ gallon)\u003c\/strong\u003e of water. For best results, bury the Olla with \u003cstrong data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"1946\"\u003e2–3 inches of the neck exposed\u003c\/strong\u003e to prevent soil or mulch from entering the vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1999\" data-end=\"2389\"\u003eIdeal for plants, trees, and shrubs that are difficult to irrigate with conventional drip systems, sprinklers, or hoses, the compact design saves valuable garden space and is easy to remove for inspection, seasonal changes, or winterization. Synthetic fertilizers may be added through the water; organic fertilizers are not recommended inside the vessel, as they can clog the ceramic pores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2391\" data-end=\"2542\"\u003eA proven, low-tech watering solution that supports healthy root development, conserves water, and makes long-term plant care simpler and more reliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CEC","offers":[{"title":"10 Inch","offer_id":36821353005210,"sku":null,"price":37.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Inch","offer_id":36821353037978,"sku":null,"price":43.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 Inch","offer_id":36821353070746,"sku":null,"price":51.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0226\/1316\/4096\/products\/10-quot-olla-bottle-with-lid-8_f3d5c002-1135-4674-be25-340673036cfc.jpg?v=1792509833","url":"https:\/\/cuttingedgeceramics.com\/products\/olla-bottle-with-lid-ceramic-irrigation-vessel","provider":"Cutting Edge Ceramics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
