Underland pots may be the most appropriate irrigation system for growing in arid areas with very little humidity.  Also for guerrilla cultivation or simply as a security method during a vacation. The small characteristic holes in the fired red clay are filled with microdroplets of water that escape from the interior directly to the root zone of the plants.

The roots grow around the clay pot, attaching themselves to the surface to suck up the water they need when they need it. The moisture in the soil is low. always available to plants. A saving of between 50-70% of water can be achieved. Fertilizer spending is also reduced since by applying it in the pots we reduce the area of application and the plant takes it from the pot.

Meliflor Underland clay pots continue the tradition of thousands of years  with the same simplicity and efficiency. They are the preferred system for growers committed to the environment. Since the pots represent a simple technology system, friendly to nature, with zero environmental impact, they can easily replace other more complicated and expensive systems that consume energy.

Meliflor Underland pots are designed to be buried almost entirely, leaving only the neck and lid outside. For this reason, it is recommended to bury the pot first and sow the plants afterwards, thus avoiding damage. the possibility of damaging the roots during placement. Once in place  it is filled with water and that's it. Soil moisture should be monitored and refilled only when loss of soil moisture is evident.

If we have very demanding plants or we grow in very dry areas, the system can be expanded by including more irrigation pots.
