FAQs

What is the total volume of the watering can?

The watering can has a capacity of 8 liters.

What are the dimensions of the watering can?

The dimensions are: Length: 17cm, Width: 50cm, Height: 34.5cm.

Is this watering can suitable for seedlings?

While it provides controlled watering, it does not have a detachable rose for a fine spray, which is often preferred for delicate seedlings. It is best suited for direct watering of established plants.

Can I leave water in the watering can outdoors?

It is best to store the watering can in a shaded area or indoors. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade the plastic over time, making it brittle. Leaving water in it continuously can also encourage algae growth.

How should I clean the watering can?

Rinse with water after use. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Is the plastic durable?

Yes, the plastic is designed to be durable for regular use in watering plants. However, like all plastic products, it can be susceptible to damage from extreme impacts or prolonged UV exposure.

What is the brand of this watering can?

The brand is Prosperplast.

Troubleshooting

Water is not flowing from the spout.

Check if the spout is blocked. Ensure the filling cap (if applicable and present) is not obstructing the flow. Gently clear any debris from the spout opening.

The handle feels uncomfortable when full.

Ensure you are lifting and carrying the can using the main handle and supporting the base if needed. Distribute the weight evenly.

Plastic appears faded or brittle.

This can occur due to prolonged exposure to UV light. Store the watering can indoors or in a shaded area when not in use to prolong its life.
