One of the main problems that cause the death of plants in our home or garden is overwatering or vice versa: thirst. How do I know how much is needed? A simple invention with roots in ancient Egypt, precise solution and allows you to forget about the plants, always keeping them with the necessary water, without having to do almost anything. Clayola is a simple pottery that takes care of everything.
This is a a small piece of clay that is placed in the ground next to the plant and that adjusts the amount of water on its own. It can provide water to the plant that needs it and even to other neighboring plants. For a month, this simple, ancestral mechanism takes care of watering them autonomously without human intervention. It is an excellent system for save waterbecause it definitely uses what the plant needs.
Rami Halim is an entrepreneur who saved the knowledge of his Egyptian ancestors and developed the name of this clay pot, Clayola, to make it almost entirely in the African country.
The system in which this continuous irrigation occurs for weeks, porous clay from the container that keeps the environment next to the roots moist.
This ship is going connected to a water source (a jug or similar) and Clayola itself, who drinks more water from the main source as she needs it.
According to the head of this initiative, which is ideal for permanent drought moments as we live, Twenty liters of water is enough to irrigate six to eight plants for a month.
Therefore, it is an ideal natural system for situations where we need to be away from home for vacation or other reasons. Nobody needs to take care of our plants, Clayola does it himself.
Halim points out that these containers release water outward (into the soil in which it is placed) just when the plant needs watering. “The plant gets the water it needs from each pot. As the water evaporates from the leaves, the plant draws water from the soil, and when the soil dries, it is extracted from the clay of the soil.“, pointing out.
These small containers, which can be purchased in packs of six each 49 euros on the website clay companyIt was made in Egypt by local artisans who had “hand-turned and polished terracotta for generations”.
