Watering Can Tricks

Use a rose attachment on your watering can to provide a gentle, even flow of water to your plants. Clean your watering can regularly to prevent the buildup of algae and bacteria. Water your plants at the base to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to disease. Use rainwater collected in your watering can for watering your plants to conserve water and provide them with natural nutrients. Invest in a watering can with a long spout for reaching plants in hanging baskets or high shelves.
