Watering Can (1.5 L, Long Spout)

Watering with a mug or bottle splashes the leaves, washes soil out of the pot and generally makes a mess of a shelf. A long-spouted can lets you reach under the foliage and pour slowly and precisely at the base, which is what the plant actually wants — and keeping water off the leaves meaningfully reduces fungal spotting on plants like peace lily and monstera. 1.5 litres is the sweet spot: enough for five or six pots, still light enough to hold steady with one hand.

• Pack size: 1.5 litre
• Used for: Waters roots without wetting leaves

How to use it

• Water slowly until you see it drain from the bottom, then stop.
• Pour at the soil, not over the leaves.
• Let tap water stand overnight if your water is heavily chlorinated.
