ABSTRACT:
A drainage system for a closed-bottom tiltable flower pot employs a reservoir on the bottom of one side of the pot. A straight drain tube extends from the upper inner edge of the reservoir to the upper edge of the other or tilt-down side of the pot. An opening in the bottom of the reservoir only on the one or tilt-up side of the pot admits excess percolation water into the reservoir and allows trapping it on minimal tilting of the reservoir for flow out the drain tube. An air vent tube may be employed to free drainage from the reservoir on tilting. The drain tube may be utilized to water the flower pot by capillary action should surface watering be undesirable. A template or plastic strip may be incorporated for non-flat-bottomed odd-shaped and round-shaped pots, respectively.
