Houseplants alone at home: does automatic watering work?

I'm still working on my green fingers, but my watering can is already green. It not only serves a purpose, but also stands out as a design object.
Antypical
The "Diva" design by Finnish interior designer Eero Aarnio for Alessi is an example of unusual shapes. It is inspired by a sweeping comma shape and is an eye-catcher. This has a decisive advantage: the more eye-catching the aesthetics and the more prominent the position of your watering can, the greater the chance that you won't forget to water it.
Ball round
In my home, the spherical metal watering can "Orb" from the Danish brand Ferm Living acts as a personal reminder. With its organic silhouette, it resembles a sculpture. That's why my gaze regularly lingers on it.
Arc
Canisters that resemble cylinders are slim and slender compared to the spherical ones. The "Mizu" design from Oyoy resembles a fine line and dot pattern. Its curved handle looks visually balanced. It makes juggling the brass container easier.
Used for other purposes
Other containers are also suitable for giving your plants a water bath: Reach for carafes or jugs. This saves space on the shelf because you kill two birds with one stone: you quench your thirst and that of all your green flatmates.
