If you only have one or two or even a small handful of orchid plants which need watering, then you can always take each one of the, one at a time, to the nearest facet and proceed with the watering.

But please keep in mind that feeding your plants the nutritious fertilizer mix cannot be accomplished by running the water directly from the tap because a container for mixing is required.

So, by equipping yourself with a watering can for orchids, you will have an easy and convenient vessel for mixing your plants’ essential foods as well as water. Besides, water cans feature long and preferably curving snouts that can help you direct the water, with or without the fertilizer, into exact locations within the orchid pots. With a watering can at your disposable there will be no need to lift and carry heavy pots to and from the sink and there will be no spills, no muss and no fuss.

Today’s market is saturated with countless varieties of watering cans as they can be found in just about every color in the rainbow as well as those embellished with colorful designs and patterns. Some watering cans are made of durable yet light weight plastic, some are made of glazed ceramics, glass or Pyrex and some are made of tin or aluminum just as they had been in the olden days.

The mini video below addresses the topic of gardening with water cans and stresses the fact that watering cans are indeed essential tools for any indoor or outdoor gardener.

Many watering cans come with attachments which are very easy to affix and remove, as well as a selection of water breakers for their snout and all those will allow you to pour out streams of water or sprays ranging from coarse to fine, rapid or slow.  And, of course, most brands (Rumford Gardener, Fiskars, Gardman USA, Novelty Mfg., Behrens, etc.) of watering cans come in three or four or even five or more sizes.

To make a long story short, there is a watering can that will fit your lifestyle and décor while accommodating the needs of your orchid plants. Pick one out today, if you haven’t already done that, and do take some time to check out all our other useful orchid growing tips which are found right here at Orchid Care.org.
