Freesbee is innovative houseplant container. It stands out with its characteristic silhouette that hides many unique benefits for the user. It utilizes the properties of clay, material which allows for “passive irrigation”, i.e. penetration of water through the pores of the clay vessel, to provide just the right amount of water for healthy growth of your plants. Plants take the water from the soil and dictate the amount of it, preventing overwatering the plants. This slower process of watering results in a more infrequent need for adding water, this saves quite a lot of water, up to 70% of it.

Bio
