Know before you buy
No, the copper will naturally develop a patina as it reacts with the air and moisture. This creates a unique, darkened character that many collectors appreciate, though you can use a metal polish if you prefer to maintain the original high-shine finish.
Yes, the spout is specifically engineered to produce a soft, rain-like spray. This prevents soil displacement and protects delicate roots, making it an excellent choice for bonsai and fragile indoor plants.
Because it is made of copper and brass, it is not rust-proof. To keep it in top condition, we recommend emptying any remaining water after use and wiping the exterior dry to prevent water spots or uneven oxidation.
No, this is a manual, handheld watering can designed for precision and portability. It does not feature any hose attachments or removable parts.
The BonJoro has a capacity of 1 liter. This size is intentionally balanced to be lightweight and easy to maneuver when watering indoor greenery or small garden displays.
