Poto is a natural terracotta water diffuser (or Olla), fitted with a cork stopper, handmade 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 the clay, water is gradually released directly into the soil, close to the roots, for autonomous and optimal watering.
Each piece is handmade: slight variations in shade and appearance make every Poto unique.
How it works
Once buried, Poto releases water gradually via micro-porosity. The soil absorbs only the amount needed according to its level of moisture, ensuring regulated watering with no overflow or waste.
Its 3 curved feet let it stand upright by itself, guaranteeing stability and an even spread of water through the soil.
A useful... and decorative object
Inspired by the endless curves of the Fibonacci sequence, Poto echoes harmonious shapes found in nature, like the romanesco cauliflower, pine cones or the heart of flowers.
When it’s not being used for watering, it becomes a stylish decorative accessory – on a shelf, filled with dried flowers or simply on display.

Care & maintenance
If after a few years the water flow slows (due to lime), soak your Poto for a few hours in a mix of water and white vinegar to dissolve residues.
❄️ Winter precaution
Beware of frost: frozen/thawed cycles can weaken terracotta. It’s recommended to bring Potos indoors in winter.
