Product description
Exquisitely crafted and beautifully weighted, these copper watering cans make precise watering in the home, greenhouse and conservatory an absolute pleasure, delicately delivering a smooth and accurate flow of water that is perfect for seedlings, succulents, and other indoor plants.
The largest of the three, at 2.5l capacity, comes with a removable copper rose for a fine, gentle spray.
Students of fluid dynamics will tell you all about static pressure and viscous friction, and might even mention the Bernoulli Effect in regards to spout taperage, but the proof, as they say, is in the pudding, and all you really need to know is how smoothly these babies pour. Picture a Moroccan tea master and you’re halfway there.
The copper meanwhile, does wonders for your plants. Water left in the can for a few hours gets sterilised through a process known as the oligodynamic effect, adding essential micronutrients and fighting nasty bacteria with some nifty cell membrane disruption - especially useful when it comes to protecting seedlings from damping-off.
Best usage
There’s no avoiding the fact that they won’t stay as shiny as you see them here for very long, and even touching them with your hands can begin the oxidisation process. Our advice is to go with the flow and enjoy the unique patination that develops with use. But if the King is coming over for tea and you really need them shiny again, try a little lemon juice.
