Most plants are fine with tap water. Sensitive plants (orchids, carnivorous plants, calathea) prefer filtered or rainwater due to chlorine and mineral sensitivity. Let tap water sit overnight to off-gas chlorine. If your tap water is very hard, consider filtered for houseplants.
Count your plants and do the math. Small indoor collection (5-10 plants): 1 quart is fine. Medium collection: 1 gallon. Lots of containers or outdoor use: 2 gallons. Remember that bigger means heavier—only buy what you'll comfortably carry full.
Plastic: lighter, cheaper, cracks in a few years. Metal: heavier, pricier, lasts decades. If you water often and want it to last, go metal. If you're testing whether you'll stick with gardening, start with quality plastic.
Air needs to enter as water leaves. Cans with small openings or poor venting drip because of vacuum. Quality cans have larger fill openings or air vents. Quick fix: tilt the spout up slightly before finishing your pour to break the siphon.
