Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get a really nice watering can for my indoor plants. I’ve got a bunch of these little guys, and I was tired of using a repurposed plastic bottle – it just felt… cheap. And messy. Spills everywhere. So, I started looking for something a little classier, and that’s when I stumbled upon copper watering cans. They just looked so cool!
First, I searched around online to see what my options were. There are tons of different shapes and sizes. Some had these long, skinny spouts, others were more traditional. I wasn’t sure what style is better, so I tried to figure out the differences.
- Long spout: maybe better for reaching those plants way in the back?
- Short spout: seemed easier to control, maybe less dripping?
I ended up choosing one with a medium-length spout, kind of a compromise. It felt like the best of both worlds. It also had a nice, wide opening at the top, which I figured would be easy to fill from the sink.
I tried my new watering can, and I was really happy. The water flow was so much more controlled than with my old plastic bottle. I could actually direct the water right to the base of the plants, without splashing all over the leaves (which I’ve heard isn’t great for some plants). No more accidental spills!
And, honestly, it just looks so much nicer sitting on my plant shelf. It’s like a little piece of decoration, even when I’m not using it. Makes the whole plant corner feel a bit more grown-up, you know?
It wasn’t a big project, but it’s the little things that make a difference. So, yeah, totally happy with my copper watering can. It’s functional, it’s pretty, and it makes watering my plants a little less of a chore.
