I love this watering can because of its skinny spout which helps me poke through the leaves and water just the dirt.
Watering Can for Indoor Plants
If you're like me and the planter is just used to hold the nursery pot the plant is actually in, you might need some stoppers if the planter has a hole in the bottom.

Propagation
Air layer propagation! When your plant is getting too leggy, you can fill these propagation pods with damp moss and wrap them around a node. The roots will grow from the node and when they are long enough, you can just cut them from the plant. No nee...
Air Layering Propagation Pods
Fiskar products are always great quality. I like that these are narrow in case I need to get into tight spots and stainless steel for easy sanitizing. Great for getting cuttings of your plants for propagation!
Fiskars 6" Micro-Tip Pruning Snips
Moss Poles
Moss poles provide aerial roots water and nutrients, increase stability and leaf growth of the plant. I make moss poles for my monsteras, pothos, and philodendrons!
If you don't want to make your own moss pole, these D shaped poles have sturdy plastic and are clear so you can see the roots grow through.

Make sure to pack the moss tight enough to minimize air pockets that will make the moss dry out quickly.

Fungus Gnat Prevention and Treatment
No more fungus gnats!!! If you've overwatered your plant and now there are gnats, these products will help.
We've all been there.... fungus gnats! We hate them! I leave one dunk in my watering can and use the "mosquito bit tea" to water my plants. After the dunk dissolves completely, I add a new dunk.
Mosquito bits has BTI (Bacillus thuringiensis subspec...
Mosquito Dunks
Get rid of those adult fungus gnats with these sticky traps! You'll be able to gauge how bad your infestation is too just by how many flies you catch.
Use them with the mosquito bit tea to keep fungus gnats at bay.
Yellow Sticky Traps
I personally no longer use sticky traps unless I have a big infestation because they are not aesthetically pleasing, so I use a bug zapper.
Turn it on at night, and take comfort when you hear that ZAP knowing your plants are protected from one less...
