Product Information
Full details
The Selections Metal Watering Can in pink is ideal for both gardening enthusiasts and indoor plant owners who value a blend of functional durability and aesthetic appeal. Its key benefit is the combination of a robust, rust-resistant galvanised steel construction with a versatile detachable rose for precise irrigation; however, users should note that at 3.5 litres, it is best suited for small to medium-sized plant collections rather than large-scale watering tasks.

FAQs
Can I leave this watering can outside all year?
While the galvanised steel is rust-resistant, it is best stored in a shed or indoor area during winter to prolong the life of the painted finish.
Does the rose clog easily?
If you use water with high mineral content, the small holes in the rose may accumulate deposits. Simply soak the rose in white vinegar to dissolve any blockages.
Is the 3.5-litre capacity heavy?
When full, the water adds approximately 3.5kg of weight. Combined with the 750g weight of the can, the total weight is just over 4kg, which is manageable for most adults.
Can I use this for fertilising plants?
Yes, but ensure you thoroughly rinse the can with clean water after use to prevent chemical residues from affecting the metal or future plant waterings.
Is the finish prone to scratching?
The paint is durable, but as with any decorative metal item, sharp objects can scratch the surface. Handle with care to maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the rose connection
Ensure the rose is pressed firmly onto the spout. If it remains loose, check the inner seal for debris.
Surface finish losing its shine
Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Selections Metal Watering Can, simply ensure the detachable rose is firmly seated if you desire a shower-style pour. If you prefer a direct stream, pull the rose gently off the spout. To maintain the condition of the metal, rinse the interior with fresh water periodically to prevent sediment buildup. While the steel is galvanised and painted to resist rust, it is recommended to dry the exterior thoroughly after use if it has been exposed to extreme weather conditions. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers on the exterior finish, as these can damage the protective paint layer.
