Kastelukannulla

Kastelukannulla is a term that refers to a watering can in Swedish. This common garden tool is used for manually watering plants, typically in gardens, balconies, or indoor settings. It consists of a container for holding water, a handle for carrying, and a spout from which the water is poured. Many watering cans also feature a rose, a perforated attachment at the end of the spout, which diffuses the water into a spray, mimicking rainfall and preventing damage to delicate plants.

Watering cans come in various materials, including plastic, metal (such as galvanized steel or copper), and sometimes ceramic. Their size and capacity also vary, from small handheld versions suitable for indoor plants to larger ones for extensive gardens. The design of a watering can is functional, prioritizing ease of use and efficient water delivery. Historically, watering cans were made from metal and were essential for small-scale agriculture and domestic gardening before the advent of more sophisticated irrigation systems. Today, while hoses and sprinklers are common, the watering can remains a popular and practical choice for targeted watering and for its aesthetic appeal in some garden designs.
