I seldom water my plants. During the rainy season, the rain water takes care of that. However, if it is very dry outside and I see the potted plants with weeds inside the pot looking brown, I would consider watering the plants, in which case I would use a watering can. However, I would be back and forth with the watering can since I do not like to fill it right up making it too cumbersome to carry. It would take about 3 trips to water the few potted plants that are there.
