ABSTRACT:
A pot cover that is comprised of detachable components and which can be used in combination with any conventional garden pot or any other suitable container, for purposes of facilitating the propagation of seedlings or seed germination, and which also resembles a novel animalian figure appearing to be living in the pot. The sections (02) and (04) of the pot cover connect together via clips (06) or other conventional connecting device to enable the sections to be easily connected and disconnected from each other and from the pot as required. The user would fill a pot with soil medium, and add seeds and water. Then connect the sections of the pot cover together, and then insert the connected sections of the pot cover into the upper rim of the pot, so that the pot cover sits securely on top of the pot, with the outside bottom edge (08) and (09) of the pot cover abutting the inner top rim of the pot. The user can, when desired, easily remove any or all sections of the pot cover, to facilitate watering and general care of the seeds or seedlings. The rear section of the pot cover (04) would usually be partially transparent to allow light and heat to enter the pot, improving propagation of seeds planted in a soil medium in the pot. The user can easily remove the rear section (or sections) of the pot cover to water the seeds as required, and then easily replace the rear section of the pot cover to maintain the greenhouse type benefits that the pot cover provides to the seeds or seedlings, namely increased humidity, increased moisture, a more constant temperature, and general protection from external elements. Eventually, once the seeds have sprouted and the seedlings are of sufficient height, the user can then permanently remove or relocate the rear section of the pot cover to enable the sprouts to grow further. The front section (02) can remain in place, to maintain the semblance of an animalian character living in a pot, and once the seedlings have reached sufficient height they will resemble the hair of the animalian figure. Or alternatively, the user can remove all sections of the pot cover and re-use them for repeat propagation on any other pot that contains newly planted seeds. Thus a considerably more versatile and attractive pot cover is provided, that provides greenhouse benefits for seeds and seedlings in a pot, with additional resulting benefits: namely a novel and humorous animalian character so formed by the separate components of the plant cover, plus additional operational advantages for watering and fertilization via the easy removal of one or more components of the plant cover, without adversely impacting the novel look of the animalian character.
