    Scalloped indoor watering cans

    Burgon & Ball's scalloped indoor watering cans are moulded in steel, with a tough powder coating and a smooth handle in FSC beech wood that gives good control when pouring. Each holds 1.2 litres. We stock the Blush Pink and Mushroom colours.

    A can this size suits a windowsill or a shelf of houseplants. For a garden border you would want something larger.

    Watering houseplants with a slender spout

    A narrow spout lets you water the compost directly, without splashing the leaves or the crown of the plant. That helps with plants that dislike sitting wet, such as succulents and cacti, and it reaches under the leaves of bushy plants such as a Boston fern.

    Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of compost feels dry, let the excess drain away and empty the saucer. Plants in our easy care houseplants are more forgiving if you forget. For holidays, a Pepin self watering olla releases water slowly into the compost.

    A watering can as a gift

    An indoor watering can is a practical present for someone with a growing collection of houseplants or a new home. Both colours are in our housewarming gifts and Christmas gifts. Pair one with a plant from our houseplants under £10 or a greeting card.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The Blush Pink and Mushroom scalloped indoor watering cans each hold 1.2 litres.

    That size suits a windowsill, a shelf of houseplants or a few hanging plants. For a garden border, a larger outdoor can is more practical. Both cans have the same scalloped shape, slender spout and FSC beech handle.

    They are moulded in steel and finished with a tough powder coating. The handle is smooth FSC beech wood.

    The Blush Pink Scalloped Indoor Watering Can and its Mushroom version share the same shape, size and materials. The powder coating protects the steel and keeps the finish looking good, and the slender spout gives precise control when pouring.

    A slender spout puts water where it is needed: on the compost, not on the leaves or into the crown of the plant. That matters for plants that rot easily if water sits on them, such as succulents.

    It also reaches between pots on a crowded shelf and under the leaves of bushy plants such as a Boston fern.

    Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of compost feels dry, rather than on a fixed day. Water until it runs from the drainage holes, then empty the saucer so the roots do not sit in water.

    Most plants need less water in autumn and winter. Cacti and succulents prefer to dry out further between waterings than leafy tropical plants.

    Yes. A good indoor can makes watering easier and is something many new plant owners do not think to buy. Pair it with a plant from our easy care houseplants for a complete present.

    For more ideas, see our watering gifts and the full gifts range. A card from our greeting cards range finishes the present.

    Empty the can after use, let it dry, then store it indoors. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth when it needs a clean.

    Avoid scouring pads, which can scratch the coating. To keep the Mushroom can looking its best, keep it on a shelf rather than outside.
