A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Pressurized Watering Can with Wand

I am trying to get away from making multiple trips to the faucet when I need to water my houseplants so I am trying to find something that can facilitate this. I have seen pressurized sprayers that are marketed for fertilizer spraying and other uses such as cleaning (pump handle to build up pressure and hold down the trigger to spray). Can these also be used for watering? I don't know if the nozzle can be set to emit a gentle stream of water so it doesn't blast the potting mix out of the pot. I've also seen watering coils that attach to the faucet and have a watering wand attached. It seems that something between these two would be ideal as I don't want to hook up to the faucet and would like the container so I can add fertilizer to the water as needed. Most of my pots are smaller so I don't need a huge capacity container, maybe a gallon. The watering can I have is about a quart. Am I looking for something that doesn't exist?

I know I've seen that somewhere, zbawic. I just can't tell you where. I can't seem to remember. It is like the little pump-canister for fertilizer, except it was filled with water. Well, I've seen it for sure, so at least this is something that exists!!

check at hardware stores or lawn and garden centers. I had a sprayer that wasnt too hard a stream to water houseplants with.

I went to HD and looked at the sprayers they had on display and decided that using the wand without the nozzle would work all right. I bought one and took it home. The strength of the stream is just about right though a heavier flow would be desirable. At this point I'm satisfied with it, certainly beats repeated returns to refill!
