"Oyas: The Art of Ecological Irrigation"

Watering is a crucial issue for the well-being of plants, and oyas offer a natural, simple and effective solution. These terracotta pots, used for centuries, allow you to irrigate plants optimally while saving water. Discover why oyas can transform the way you water your plants, whether it's an outdoor garden, indoor plants, or vegetable garden.

1. What is an oya?

Oyas are porous clay containers that are buried near the plants. Filled with water, they slowly diffuse moisture directly to the roots, according to the plant's needs. This process prevents water loss through evaporation or runoff, and allows for constant and appropriate irrigation.

2. Economical watering

With oyas, water is released gradually, directly where the roots need it. This system can save up to 70% of water compared to traditional watering. In times of drought or in regions where water is scarce, it is an ideal solution to maintain a flourishing garden without waste.

3. Ease of use and minimal maintenance

Oyas are simple to use: simply bury them near the plants, fill them with water, and refill them every few days (depending on the size of the pot and the plant). They fit perfectly into any type of garden, whether large or small, in the ground or in a pot.

4. Healthier plants

Plants naturally adapt to this method of watering. By developing deeper roots, they become more resistant to periods of drought and climate change. In addition, watering at the root level reduces the risk of diseases caused by excess moisture on the leaves.
