These tops are incredibly useful to water fragile starts of all kinds. Also good to lightly bug blast something. We use them with our volunteers starting 25 pepper plants in 4" pots. The tips don't dislodge or damage seedlings.

Don't snort in disbelief; the ones for fine watering work extraordinarily well on seed pots. I wouldn't want to use one in a nursery - the thing is only about 1"/2.5cm across, so not built for volume or speed - but it seems to be able to water the finest seeds without the least perturbation of the surface. You do have to squeeze the bottle to get it to flow - it isn't gravity-fed; but I actually love the thing. How times have changed. When I owned a nursery I would have chuckled patronizingly at the thought of using one of these. Now not only do I do that, but I'm down in the basement cutting vinyl blinds into plant tags.
