Why buy a real watering can (and which one to choose)?
of reading
Are you still watering your plants with a plastic bottle or a glass of water? It's time to take things to the next level.
Buying a watering can is not a trivial expense; it's an investment in the health of your plants. The right tool allows you to measure the water, avoid flooding, and transform the chore of watering into a pleasant experience.
But between grandpa's zinc model and the golden Scandinavian design, which one should you choose? Here's our guide to help you make the right choice.
1. For the Garden: Aim for volume and sturdiness
In the garden or vegetable patch, the goal isn't to make things look pretty, it's to be efficient. You need a tool capable of carrying a lot of water without breaking your back.
The reference: The Parisian Watering Can
Recognizable by its oval shape and two handles (one for carrying, one for pouring), it is the king of public gardens.
- The watering can head: Indispensable! It divides the jet into a fine spray so as not to compact the soil or uproot the seedlings.
- Durability: Designed to stay outdoors, it is resistant to both sun and frost.
The Pros' Tool
This is the watering can you'll keep for 20 years. Simple, efficient, indestructible.

The Charm of Vintage
For those who want to combine practicality with retro aesthetics, galvanized metal remains a safe bet. It develops a patina over time and adds a touch of "country chic" to your patio.
2. For Interior Design: Precision and Decoration
In the living room, the rules change. The watering can is no longer hidden away in the garage; it's displayed on the shelf. It must be compact (1L to 2L) and surgically precise.
Why a long beak?
To water a bushy Pilea without getting water on the sideboard, you need to reach under the foliage. A long, thin spout allows you to aim directly at the soil.
The Elegance of Copper
Inspired by Japanese design, this copper-plated stainless steel watering can is our best-seller. It combines the beauty of the object with absolute precision.
- ✨ Design: A jewel that cannot be put away.
- 🎯 Note: Ideal for small jars.
Looking for something soft? Dare to try Rose Gold.
If your décor is softer or Scandinavian, rose gold is the trendy alternative. It adds a touch of magic and modernity while retaining the technical qualities of stainless steel.
3. Don't forget to take care of the foliage
The watering can takes care of the roots, but what about the leaves? Indoors, dry air is the enemy. Complete your equipment with a misting sprayer to clean off dust and hydrate the plant.
The Winning Duo
To have perfect plants, you need to water AND mist. Our brass sprayer is the ideal companion to your watering can.
