Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Elho 1.7L watering can be used outdoors? Yes, it is UV and frost resistant and can stay outside all year round. Empty it completely before periods of severe frost to prevent residual water from expanding the plastic when freezing.
Why use filtered water instead of tap water to water plants? Tap water contains lime that gradually builds up in the soil and causes white spots on leaves. The most sensitive plants — Calathea, Maranta, Fittonia, Tillandsia — react with brown edges and slowed growth. Filtered water or water left to stand for 24 hours greatly reduces these effects.

💧 Lightweight and manageable 1.7L capacity • 🌱 100% recycled plastic • 🇳🇱 Made in the Netherlands • 🎨 Minimalist grey design • 🌿 Long, precise spout • 👌 Compact and ergonomic
Elho 1.7L Watering Can is the compact and lightweight version of the Elho watering can — ideal for medium-sized collections or spaces where an easy-to-handle tool is preferred daily. Its long, precise spout allows watering directly at the base of plants without wetting the foliage. Made from 100% recycled plastic by Elho (Netherlands).
Its 1.7L capacity allows watering 4 to 6 medium plants at once — neither too small nor too heavy to carry. UV and frost resistant, suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Find it in our plant accessories collection and our complete watering guide.
1.7L or 3.5L — which to choose?
Both Elho watering cans share the same design and quality — the difference lies in capacity and weight.
- 1.7L Watering Can (this product): compact and lightweight, perfect for collections of 4 to 6 medium plants, small spaces, or those who prefer an easy-to-handle watering can daily.
- 3.5L Watering Can: double capacity for large collections or big plants — waters 8 to 10 plants in a row without refilling.
If you have a large collection or big tropical plants, the 3.5L is more efficient. For daily use on a compact collection or office plants, the 1.7L is more comfortable.
How to use it
- Water: room temperature, filtered or rainwater for plants sensitive to lime — Calathea, Maranta, Fittonia.
- Technique: use the long spout to water directly at the base, avoiding wetting the foliage. Controlled flow — no splashes.
- Frequency: adjust according to each plant’s needs — about once a week for most tropicals, less for succulents and cacti.
- Maintenance: rinse regularly with clear water to prevent lime deposits. Rinse thoroughly after using liquid fertilizer.
Let the water rest for a few hours at room temperature before watering in winter — watering with water that’s too cold can cause thermal shock to tropical roots.
For which plants?
Its 1.7L capacity makes it the ideal tool for small to medium-sized indoor plants.
- Potted plants Ø12–19 cm: Calathea, Maranta, Philodendron, Pothos — the compact size is perfectly suited for these sizes.
- Office plants: lightweight and manageable, ideal for watering without clutter in a workspace.
- Plants sensitive to wet foliage: Succulents, Sansevieria, Zamioculcas, Peperomia, Begonia — the precise spout targets the soil without touching the leaves.
- Outdoor: balcony, terrace, windowsill — frost resistant, it can stay outside.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
