A watering can is a container used to water plants. It typically has a handle for carrying and a spout with a nozzle that controls the flow of water. Watering cans are often made of plastic, metal, or sometimes ceramic, and are designed to make watering easier by allowing one to direct the water gently and evenly over plants. They come in various sizes and designs, with some having a long spout to reach plants in hard-to-reach areas. Watering cans are commonly used in gardens, greenhouses, or for indoor plants.
