It's no secret that any indoor flowers need regular watering. And in order to provide them with such watering, every owner of beautiful green pets needs a watering can. Watering flowers from a glass or from a jar is an extremely thankless task, moreover, such an ill-considered approach can harm the plants quite strongly. How to choose the right watering can, and what should you pay attention to when choosing it?
Why not water your plants from a glass or a jar?
Each plant has forbidden areas, which in no case should water get into - these can be pubescent leaves, growth points, rhizomes, etc. It is highly undesirable that water droplets regularly remain on ordinary leaves with stalks, since such droplets instantly turn into almost perfect lenses, and in order for a favorite plant to receive a sunburn, an extremely short exposure to direct sunlight will be enough. And there it is not long before bacterial or fungal diseases! So it's time to set aside all the cups and jars and head to the hardware store in search of the right watering can! In addition, the indoor watering can will also become a reliable assistant for watering seedlings!
What should be a watering can for watering indoor flowers?
When choosing a watering can for watering indoor flowers, it is first of all important to pay attention to the fact that it is as convenient and light enough as possible. Such a watering can should be comfortable to hold with both hands and one hand. That is why you should not buy watering cans with a volume of more than three liters - more water is usually not required for home irrigation.
The spout of the watering can should be long enough, while it can be either straight or slightly curved. Such an assistant will be very useful if too thick lower leaves of plants prevent her from reaching the ground, because a long nose can easily reach even the most inaccessible places. And for watering cacti, this is also a great option - in this case, it is enough just to put the spout of a watering can on the edge of a flower pot and start slowly saturating the soil with life-giving moisture.
On the shelves of modern stores you can find even more convenient models of watering cans, which make it possible to combine watering with spraying. You must admit that it is not very convenient to carry both a sprayer and a watering can with you all the time. And here just such a watering can will come to the rescue, equipped with a built-in finely dispersed spray bottle! Thanks to her, you can immediately water the plant and spray it!
There are also watering cans with special divisions - in such containers it will not be difficult to quickly prepare nutrient mixtures for feeding plants with exact observance of all the necessary proportions.
As for the material, most often watering cans for watering indoor flowers are made of plastic - metal and ceramic options have recently been found less and less. True, if you properly look for the original watering can, you can even find steel options with an aging effect, but most often they are designed to perform an exclusively decorative function. However, the design of many plastic watering cans also boast an unprecedented variety, because this unpretentious material lends itself well to staining. However, the color and design of the watering can is the last thing to pay attention to.
Plastic watering cans are almost always cast, that is, they have no attached parts, which makes it possible to exclude the possibility of their leakage - neither joints nor seams can be found on such watering cans. And at the same time, plastic options are the most inexpensive. And in order to protect such a watering can from deformation, it is important to try to keep it away from direct sunlight and frost, which, in principle, is more than realistic in a cozy house or apartment!
Do not forget that a properly chosen watering can is a guarantee of health and an excellent appearance of indoor flowers!
