ABSTRACT:
A container unit for the growth and transportation of plants includes a container having an open upper end having formed in the interior thereof a recess defining an annular step including a horizontal surface and a vertical surface. A soil receptacle contains soil having therein a plant, and the receptacle has an open upper end having extending upwardly therefrom an integral flange. The receptacle is positioned within the container with the flange of the receptacle being supported by and soldered to the horizontal surface of the container, to thereby form a sealed water receiving chamber between the exterior of the receptacle and the interior of the container. A disc retains the soil within the receptacle and has a central hole dimensioned to have extend therethrough the stem of the plant. The disc has a slit to allow the stem of the plant to be inserted into the central hole. The disc is positioned over and supported by the annular flange of the receptacle. A transparent cover includes a lower edge precisely fitting within the vertical surface of the recess of the container to securely retain the cover to the container and to press the disc against the annular flange of the receptacle, to thereby maintain the disc in a position to retain soil within the receptacle.
