About WaterworksWaterworks is a natural hydration system that makes caring for your houseplants incredibly easy.
A basic set consists of a partly glazed terra-cotta cone and a glass reservoir with cork stopper in a cardboard giftbox. Because of the porous nature of the terra-cotta, water will slowly seep through the walls of the cone into the soil. |

How to work your Waterworks1: Close the top hole of the reservoir with the cork (make sure it's airtight).
2: Push the terra-cotta cone into the soil close to the plant (be careful not to damage the plants' root system). 3: Fill the reservoir with water through the neck and place it in the cone (a little water might spill while placing the reservoir, the plant is usually ok with this). |
about the conesA plants' demand for water varies depending on the size and type of plant and the current season.
Make sure to choose the appropriate cone: less glaze for thirsty/larger plants, and more glaze (slowing down the waterflow) for smaller plants and/or plants that don't need a lot of water. |

FurthermoreThe production of Waterworks was financed with the help of a successful crowdfunding campaign.
Waterworks was launched in the summer of 2014 and received a nomination for the 2015 German Design Awards.
