Waterworks
Waterworks is a natural hydration system that makes taking care of plants a lot easier. The system consists of a partially glazed terracotta stake stuck in the soil and a corked glass reservoir the neck of which can be placed in the stake.
The water from the reservoir slowly seeps through the porous walls of the terracotta into the soil. Plants that extract moisture from the soil faster will cause the reservoir to be empty sooner. The plant regulates its own water supply as required. It is possible to influence this by using a stake with a larger or smaller glazed surface as a result of which more or less water will be released.
