In the beginning, it is o.k. that you are able to do jala neti through one nostril only. After some days, you will get success from both the nostrils (if there is no polyp or structural issue). So, either keep continuing the practice for some days or try kapalbhati before attempting jala neti. You can also do warm up exercises before jala neti so that congestion, if any, in that nostril should come to minimum. You can also practice Sutra Neti to clear the nasal passages in both the nostrils so that the jala neti water flows easily across both the nostrils.

Recommendations:
Neti Pot - Generally, Copper Neti Pots are recommended. But now-a-days, good quality copper pots for neti are not available in the market, even at Amazon online market place - we could not find in the Amazon search for Copper Neti Pot. We tried with steel made neti pot too, and got disappointed with feedbacks thereof. The neti pots are better available at any of your local Yoga Institute like Morarji Desai Institution of Yoga at New Delhi, etc. The one we found that at amazon is cheap , can be easy to keep during travelling is small plastic neti pot at amazon. That works fine.
If you want to use to quality ceramic neti pot, that is available by Himalayan Institute at amazon, but yes it is expensive, even beyond the copper neti pot, but it is very customized to the nostrils and handling while doing neti. We have good experience of it as we have been using it for a long time. But again do not forget that it is ceramic one, it has to be handled with care and can be broken.
