  • Patent number: 5111614
    Abstract: A plant watering container comprised of lower and upper mating container sections. The top wall of the upper section is formed with a central opening for supporting a pot, with a wick extending into the growing media in the bottom of the pot and downwardly into the water reservoir provided by the lower container section. The upper container section is formed with beveled side edges similar in angularity to the normal droop angle of plant leaves, whereby the beveled surfaces form supporting surfaces for the leaves. The container is very inexpensive to manufacture and provides a simple bottom watering device utilizing capillary action for the watering of plants in very small pots.
