ABSTRACT:
A device for automatically caring for potted plants includes a rotary support carrying a potted plant and supported by a suitable base on which there is a container for liquid to be fed to the potted plant. The rotary support is driven so as to be rotated at a speed according to which the time required for one revolution of the rotary support does not form a multiple or fraction of 24. The container for the liquid is flexible while the rotary support carries at least one cam to compress the container in order to discharge liquid out of the latter, and a feed tube extends from the container to the potted plant to deliver liquid thereto each time the cam compresses the container. A stationary tilling element is carried by the base at a position for tilling soil in a pot of a potted plant, and the rotary movement of the potted plant with the rotary support displaces soil in the potted plant with respect to the stationary tilling element so that the soil becomes tilled while the support for the potted plant turns.
