Watertight printings

Hello, I am new to the forum and I have a question. I tried to print a little watering can for my cactus plants, but I discovered water was leaking after some time. I use PLA filament and a not heated plate. Is it a problem with that kind of filament or i did something wrong?
Simplify is a great software and after quite a month I can now use it extensively but this fact is baffling me. Thank you a lot

Try decreasing the layer height and adding more perimeter outlines. You may also want to try increasing the extrusion multiplier some to help solidify everything.
