Indoor watering can bigger than Hawes?

[badatusernames]

I have a little Hawes can for indoor watering but its capacity is kind of annoying

Wondering if folks know of something larger capacity that also has a small spout for indoor use

Indoor bonsai isn't the best thing... I use a bucket and let the soil suck up the water and drain off the water, typically you want to let soil dry out so here in the winter I do this maybe once in maybe 1-2 weeks depending on the tree letting soil dry out, but I keep these in the garage for dormancy.

Got fed up with watering cans and using a water wand directly is the best thing when out of a bonsai pot (grow boxes and nursery pots) in my opinion.

If your frustrated with the hawes watering can you can always try to retrofit large gallon jugs but again... Not optimal, only time I use my water can is when applying pesticides.

To water my indoor plants, I am using a small capacity watering can. 32 floz if I remember correctly.

I understand the annoyance factor when it comes to refilling the can constantly. The way I rationalize not buying a bigger can is the ability to get into the pots and all around the plant to truely saturate the substrate. The total weight is also easy to manage.

I partial got around the constant refilling by staging three 1 gallon jugs filled with water. I refill those at the sink. It also allows me to mix up my fertilizer in a larger quantity instead of doing it for each can fill up. Yes I still have to fill the small can up, but I make less trips to a faucet and I am not spending more time measuring my fertilizer.

This is one of those "pick your posion" sort of positions.

I ran a water line and installed a spigot in my (basement) office last year. Back to a watering wand!

I have the exact same setup as you. GMTA

I use the 2 gallon long reach Hawe's can, and it is awesome. It is pretty heavy when it is completely filled, but I only have to fill it once to water all of my indoor trees and it also reaches everything easily. I would recommend getting the finer misting rose if you go with that one, though.

I had to use a sprayer to water the trees in my green house sometimes in the winter when the hose are frozen solid outside.

Now I'm thinking I need a sprayer... Might be easier then buckets XD

I’m also in the pump sprayer camp.


Also good for misting foliage if your overwintering space is pretty dry as mine is.

I used the pump sprayers and they work good. The only annoyance is that they don’t spray much water and would take me a while to water. Watering bells with a bucket nearby is much quicker. And also prestigious

That looks like it might work for me better than what I have been using. Can I assume that you can shut off one of the heads at the end of the wand and only use one? Also, is the spray light enough that it doesn't wash/blow out soils? Does battery have a good life? Thanks for the showing.

It has worked well so far the battery life is good I filled it three times before I had to change it. Charged up quickly to my surprise.
It came with three different spray heads I use the fine spray head mostly.
