  • Patent number: 6643978
    Abstract: The Plantwear™ fabric pot consists of a shell (12), an inner membrane (14), and a mesh liner (16). These are attached to a ring-band (22) which also encloses a compression-ring (20). These are supported by braided ropes (26) which are attached to the compression-ring in 3 places where the sections of the ring-band (22) expose the compression-ring (20). The ropes are collected at a center-knot (28) and form a tie-loop (30), and a tie (34) which has a tie-knot (32) near its end. The tie (34) can be passed over a support, such as a rod or hook, and the tie-knot (32) passed through the tie-loop to securely hold the Plantwear™ fabric pot to the support. A wick (41) is placed through the liner (16) via a grommet (42) and into a chamber area (18) to help transfer, through capillary action, any water which might have drained into and remain in the chamber, back up into the root-pouch (36). The fabric pot is packaged folded flat in an envelope.
