  • Patent number: 5379548
    Abstract: A system (36) for supporting and watering plant pots comprises a plurality of panels (10), a container (36), and a wick (46). The panel (10) is planar in shape and has a rectangular boundary (16) which includes a first linear edge (18) and a second linear edge (20) which is parallel to the first linear edge (18). A first notch (26) extends inward from the first linear edge (18), and second and third notches (28) and (30) respectively extend inward from the second linear edge (20). The notches (26, 28 and 30) are substantially uniformly sized such that notches from the panel (10) may be interfitted with notches from a like panel. The interfitting of a plurality of panels in any number of different desired configurations results in the formation of a free-standing support (32) having interstices (34) therebetween. The support (32) is placed between the container (36) and a plant pot (44).
