Poto is a natural terracotta water diffuser (or Olla) with a cork stopper, handcrafted in France near Castelnaudary.
Plant it next to your plant, fill it with water, and let nature do the rest. Thanks to the natural pores of terracotta, water is slowly and directly diffused into the soil, right at the roots, for autonomous and optimal watering.
Each piece is handcrafted: slight variations in colour and texture make every Poto unique.
How it works
Once buried, Poto releases water gradually through micro-porosity. The soil absorbs only the amount needed based on its moisture level, ensuring even watering without excess or waste.
Its three curved legs let it stand upright on its own, providing stability and even water distribution in the soil.
A useful... and decorative object
Inspired by the endless curves of the Fibonacci sequence, Poto features harmonious natural shapes that appear in Romanesco broccoli, pine cones, or the centre of flowers.
When not used for watering, it becomes a true decorative item: displayed on a shelf, filled with dried flowers, or simply on its own.

Maintenance
If, after a few years, water diffusion slows (limestone buildup), soak your Poto for a few hours in a mixture of water and white vinegar to dissolve the deposits.
❄️ Winter precaution
Beware of frost: freezing and thawing cycles can weaken terracotta. It's recommended to bring Poto inside during winter.
