Haws | The Smethwick Spritzer | Metal Plant Mister

The Haws Smethwick Spritzer is a beautifully made 300ml metal plant mister designed to deliver a soft, fine and even spray for houseplant care, orchids and terrariums.

Compact enough to keep beside your plants and handsome enough to leave on display, it is available in polished brass, copper and nickel. Each Smethwick Spritzer is supplied in a bespoke Haws gift box, making it a particularly lovely gift for a houseplant lover.

Haws has been making watering equipment since 1886 and is the world's oldest manufacturer of watering cans. The Smethwick Spritzer brings that long-standing approach to a small indoor plant-care tool that feels as decorative as it is practical.

What Is a Plant Mister Used For?

The Smethwick Spritzer produces a fine, even mist rather than a stream of water. It is particularly useful when you want to apply a small amount of moisture gently and evenly, including when tending to terrariums, orchids and delicate foliage.

It can also be useful for loosening light surface dust before wiping leaves clean.

A plant mister should not replace normal root watering for most houseplants, and occasional misting does not provide the same sustained increase in humidity as a humidifier. Think of the Spritzer as a precise plant-care tool rather than the main way you water your collection.

Choose Your Finish

Brass – made from solid polished brass with a rich golden finish. The untreated metal will gradually develop a natural patina with age and handling.

Copper – made from solid polished copper. Like brass, the untreated surface will gradually deepen and change character as a natural patina develops.

Nickel – made from nickel-plated brass with a cooler, bright polished finish. A good choice if you prefer something more contemporary than warm brass or copper.

Brass and copper can be polished if you prefer to restore their original shine rather than allowing the patina to develop.

A Beautiful Gift for a Plant Lover

The Smethwick Spritzer is one of those plant-care products that works particularly well as a gift because it feels much more special than an everyday spray bottle while still having a genuine purpose.

Its compact size and presentation box make it an excellent choice for Christmas, birthdays, housewarmings or anyone building a carefully considered houseplant collection.

How to Fill and Use the Smethwick Spritzer

Unscrew the top carefully to fill the reservoir with clean water. Haws recommends holding the body of the Spritzer gently while opening it rather than pressing or pulling against the handle mechanism.

Once filled, replace the top securely and press the plunger to create the fine mist. If the spray becomes uneven over time, check that the small spray opening is clear of dirt or residue.

Care & Patina

Dry the exterior after use and avoid leaving water sitting on the polished surface.

The brass and copper finishes will naturally develop a patina as the untreated metal reacts to handling, moisture and age. Many people enjoy this softer, aged appearance, but the metal can be polished if you prefer to maintain a brighter finish.

The nickel version has a plated polished finish and can also be gently polished when required.

Why We Love It

A plastic spray bottle technically does the same basic job. It just doesn't make you want to leave it sitting beside your plants.

The Smethwick Spritzer turns a very ordinary piece of plant care into something beautifully made and enjoyable to use – and that's precisely why it makes such a good gift.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Haws Smethwick Spritzer used for?

It produces a fine, even water mist for gentle plant care, including orchids, terrariums and foliage that benefits from occasional misting. It can also help loosen light dust before leaves are wiped clean.

Does misting houseplants increase humidity?

Misting can temporarily wet foliage and slightly increase moisture immediately around the plant, but the effect is short lived. It should not be relied upon as a substitute for sustained humidity where a plant genuinely requires it.

What is the difference between the brass, copper and nickel Smethwick Spritzers?

The design, size and capacity are the same. The difference is the material and finish. Brass is solid brass, Copper is solid copper and Nickel is nickel-plated brass. Brass and copper naturally develop a patina over time.

How much water does the Smethwick Spritzer hold?

It holds approximately 300ml, or half a pint, and weighs around 400g when full.

Is the Haws Smethwick Spritzer gift boxed?

Yes. Haws supplies the Smethwick Spritzer in a bespoke recyclable presentation box, making it ready to give as a plant-lover gift.
