  • Patent number: 9854757
    Abstract: A position adjustable self-watering apparatus controllably dispenses water and nutrients by transmitting water from a primary reservoir to a second end of a tube, and selectively dispensing the liquid over a desired region of the soil. Capillary motion through a dual action wick carries the water. The tube adjustably positions over a desired region of soil through multiple means. Anchor rods that support the primary reservoir can selectively couple with correlating reception apertures in the bottom wall of the primary reservoir. Repositioning of anchor rods enables the primary reservoir to move relative to the plant container. Additionally, the tube incrementally and fixedly reorients in multiple directions. Additionally, when the container edge wedges between the anchor rod and the sidewalls of the primary reservoir, the primary reservoir slides along the container edge to a desired region above the soil. A primary reservoir valve helps regulate the flow of the liquid.
