What does Willy do?

As well as being a fun friend for your plants, Willy is a water sensor.  He turns a darker shade when the plant is well watered and he goes pale when he and your plant soil dry out.  If Willy is pale, your plant needs watering

How do I use Willy?

Willy is made from a type of clay called terracotta.  This is a porous material meaning it has small gaps between the particles which can hold water. Just like a sponge, water is sucked into the spaces within the terracotta causing it to go darker when wet

Can I use more than one Willy in a pot?

Yes!  You can use as many as you want and can fit in.  They can all be the same size or a mixture of sizes.  Willy will not do any damage to your plants

Does the size of the pot matter?

Yes and no โ€“ If you want Willy to simply be a friend to your plant, you can use what size you want.  If you want Willy to work as a water sensor you should use a size Willy that corresponds to the size of your pot.  So a large pot, say 30cm wide, will need an extra large Willy.  This is because a mini Willy will not go into the soil deep enough to reach the moisture level in the soil

Are there any plants willy can’t be used for?

Not that we are aware of

Can I use Willy outside?

Yes you can!  Willy does not like to be cold so we suggest you bring him indoors in the winter
