# LEGO-Like Watering Cans The Bloccon Watering Can Quenches a Plant's Thirst By Marissa Liu | Published 2010-04-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloccon-watering-can References: [spoon-tamago](http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2010/04/20/bloccon-watering-can/) & [idea-in](http://www.idea-in.com/) If you don't have the money or time to invest in a [self-watering planter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posha) and prefer to do things the old fashioned way, the Bloccon watering can is a wonderful option. This plant thirst-quencher takes functionality and adds a modern twist. The Bloccon watering can, which derives its name from the mixing of the words '[block](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quming-delight)' and 'icon', was the runner-up at this year's ID design awards. It comes in five bright shades and will be available in early May 2010. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modular Gardening:** The LEGO-like Bloccon watering can introduces a modular approach to gardening, allowing users to customize their watering cans based on their needs. - **Functional Design:** The Bloccon watering can exemplifies the trend of incorporating functionality and modern aesthetics into everyday objects. - **Sustainable Living:** With its emphasis on manual watering and reuse, the Bloccon watering can caters to the growing trend of sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gardening Supplies:** The modular and customizable features of the Bloccon watering can present an opportunity for the gardening supplies industry to develop innovative and adaptable products. - **Home Decor:** The functional and aesthetically pleasing design of the Bloccon watering can opens up possibilities for the home decor industry to create stylish and functional objects. - **Sustainability:** As a sustainable watering solution, the Bloccon watering can aligns with the sustainability industry's focus on eco-friendly products and practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Uniquely Shaped Self-Watering Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-watering-plant-house.md) - [Building Block Gardening Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-planterior.md) - [Self-Watering Compact Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patella-crescenda.md) - [Smart Self-Watering Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tendril-1.md) - [Futuristic Self-Watering Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-klaustrafloria.md) - [Self-Watering Smart Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leafypod.md) - [Plant Watering Smart Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/growcube.md) - [Self-Watering Flowerpots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gropot.md) - [Miniature Building Block Plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-icons-tiny-plants.md)
