ABSTRACT:
A plant feeding apparatus for providing a continuous supply of liquid to the soil surrounding potted plants. The apparatus includes a fluid reservoir portion with a reservoir body and a cover assembly, and a soil probe portion with an axially extending, wick-receiving opening disposed therein. A soil moisturizing wick is provided which extends from the reservoir and into the opening in the probe. The soil probe is relatively rigid and includes a variable-area aperture in a part thereof for permitting at least a portion of the wick to be exposed through the aperture for moisturizing the soil received in a container. A neck or shoulder is found where the probe meets the reservoir body, and this shoulder facilitates mounting the apparatus on a rim of the pot or other receptacle. An adjustable slide serves to expose more or less wick through the aperture in the probe.
