Although an indoor plant watering can is a useful device and still has its place in the gardening centers of today, many indoor plant watering cans are becoming obsolete as there are other, more effective methods of watering your indoor plants. 

It used to be that the indoor plants could only be watered in one of two ways.  The plants could be picked up and placed under a faucet so that they could be watered or they could be watered from an indoor plant watering can which had to be lugged around from place to place in the home.  The down side to an indoor plant watering can is that it has to be refilled time and again if it is too small. If it is too large, the can is often too heavy to move around comfortably without spilling the contents all over the home, especially when pouring.

Solutions To Indoor Plant Watering Cans

There are many indoor plant watering devices on the market today that help solve the problems posed by the indoor plant watering can.  There are indoor plant watering hoses now that are attached to the faucet of the house and have a spraying device attached to the other end of it.  These hoses are often about forty feet long so that they can reach every part of the home when attached to the various faucets of the home.  The hoses make it very easy to water all the plants in the home, in addition to being able to fill up a freshly cleaned fish tank without having to make many trips back and forth to the faucet.  It can also be helpful with any pets in the home so that they can be washed in the tub without using a cup or other device to rinse the soap off of them.

Another solution to awkward plant watering cans are the automatic plant watering systems on the market today. A few of them are made for people who start out growing of all variety of plants indoors to later plant them outdoors. There are other devices that allow individuals to water their plants when they are gone on vacation.  They can simply place the reservoir of water on a counter leaving the plants to be watered on the floor beneath it.  The water is regulated so that only a certain amount is released each hour, thus preventing over watering.  Usually, several plants can be hooked up to the same device and the watering will last for two weeks or more.
