Plant Runner
Plant Runner - Nickel Heirloom - Mister
- Plastic Free
Nickel Heirloom Mister for Gentle, Even Misting
Handmade, beautifully weighty, and finished in textured nickel, so no two come out quite the same. It throws a fine, even mist rather than the wet splatter of a trigger bottle, which is what humidity-loving foliage, moss poles and propagation setups actually want. The cooler, quieter sibling to the brass, for people whose shelf leans silver.
Key Features
- Handmade with a textured nickel finish. Each one is slightly different.
- All-metal construction, with no plastic parts.
- Delivers a fine, consistent mist for gentle, even coverage.
- 300ml capacity.
- Weighty and sturdy, built for years of daily use.
Pure Standard
- All metal, and the brand says so explicitly. Plant Runner state there are no plastic parts anywhere. That matters because almost every plant mister on the market hides a plastic pump inside a metal-look shell, and that pump is both the part that fails and the part you cannot replace.
- It replaces something disposable. A trigger spray bottle is a two-year object. This is a decades one, and metal is straightforwardly recyclable at the end of that.
- Handmade, with the variation to prove it. The texture is worked by hand, so the pattern differs piece to piece. Worth knowing before yours arrives looking slightly unlike the photograph.
- Good for foliar feed, not just water. Plant Runner specifically call this one out for applying foliar fertiliser, where a fine even mist matters more than volume.
- Where we would like more. Plant Runner do not publish the country of manufacture for the mister range, nor the base metal under the nickel finish. Their own liquids are clearly labelled Made in Melbourne, so the silence here is notable. Anyone with a nickel sensitivity should also know the finish is nickel, though this is a tool you hold briefly rather than wear.

How to Use
- Unscrew the top, fill with water, and pump the plunger for a fine mist.
- Mist the foliage, not the soil. Hold it far enough back that the mist settles rather than lands.
- Ideal for applying foliar feed, and for refreshing moss poles and propagation boxes.
- Use filtered or rainwater if your tap water is hard, to avoid spotting on leaves.
Care Instructions
- Empty it if you are not using it for a while rather than leaving water standing inside.
- Wipe dry after use to keep the shine.
- Flush with clean water after running foliar feed through it.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, which will scratch the nickel finish.

Our Take
An heirloom-grade mister in a hand-textured nickel finish, built to last rather than crack in a season. The pump inside is metal, which is the bit that usually gives out on a plant mister. The cooler sibling to the brass, and the kind of tool you leave out precisely so people notice it.

Frequently asked
What is it made from?
Handmade, all metal, with a textured nickel finish. Plant Runner state there are no plastic parts anywhere, including the pump mechanism, which is the part that usually fails on a plant mister.
How much does it hold?
300ml, and it weighs about 300g empty.
Will mine look exactly like the photo?
Close, but not identical. The texture is worked by hand, so the pattern varies piece to piece. Plant Runner say each one is slightly unique.
What is it best used for?
Misting foliage on humidity-loving houseplants, refreshing moss poles, and keeping seedlings and cuttings happy. Plant Runner particularly recommend this one for applying foliar fertiliser. Aim at the leaves rather than the soil.
How is it different from the brass one?
Only the finish and the surface texture. Same 300ml capacity, same all-metal build, same price. Choose on which one suits your shelf.
How do I look after the finish?
Wipe it dry after use and avoid abrasive cleaners, which will scratch the nickel. Empty it rather than leaving water standing inside, and flush it through after using foliar feed.
Where is it made?
Plant Runner do not disclose the country of manufacture for the mister range, or the base metal under the nickel, which is why we have scored transparency modestly. Their liquid products are clearly labelled Made in Melbourne.
