Continuous water supply for potted plant - has double bottomed inner pot with supply capillary and moist roll floated in outer tank

摘要

The watering device for potted plants has an external water and nutrient (2) container (1). Floating in this is an internal container (3) which contains the soil and roots of the plant (5). A permeable distribution device (6) is attached to a pipe (7) and capillary tube (9) connected to the outer water nutrient container (1). Th The weight of the inner pot (3) and its contents are so chosen that they permit it to float on the surface of the water/nutrient (2) mixture within the outer container (1). The inner container has a double base to increase its buoyancy and prevent overwatering of the plant. It also contains some light packing (8) which has the same effect on buoyancy.
