Silver-plated products are made from copper that has been electroplated to achieve a silver finish. Electroplated items are easy to store and less prone to oxidation when exposed to water and air. Note: Copper-colored products may undergo oxidation when exposed to tap water or humid environments, which can result in darkening. Material: Brass This small indoor watering can is designed for convenient use with houseplants. It features a spray nozzle that delivers a fine mist, ideal for hydrating leaves and roots of small potted plants, orchids, and similar greenery. Product Use and Maintenance: Keep the product surface dry. The brass surface may oxidize when in contact with tap water, leading to discoloration (blackening due to copper oxide formation). Empty the watering can after each use and thoroughly dry both interior and exterior surfaces to prevent oxidation. Clean the nozzle promptly after use. Distilled water or alcohol may be used to reduce oxidation risk. If discoloration occurs, clean with a suitable copper cleaning solution. Regular maintenance after use is recommended to preserve appearance. When using distilled water or alcohol, drying is not required, as these liquids do not cause oxidation of brass. Spray Adjustment: The nozzle offers two spray modes: stream and mist. Rotate or remove the nozzle to adjust internal components (under tension) and switch between spray settings. Filling Instructions: The top of the can unscrews for filling. Hold the base with one hand and grasp the spray handle with the other; turn counterclockwise to open the lid.
