Unglazed terracotta is naturally porous, so when you fill the olla with water, it seeps out slowly through the ceramic walls, directly into the surrounding soil. Your plant takes what it needs, when it needs it. No more soggy roots, no more forgotten watering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mustard yellow finish on the upper half gives this olla a cheerful, contemporary look that sits well alongside mid-century or Scandi-style interiors. And because each one is handmade by potters Ana and Vitor in their Portuguese workshop, every piece has its own unique character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMake a small space in the soil near your plant and press the olla in, pointy end down.
