ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for watering a plant while it is supported in an elevated position is provided which includes an elongated tubular standard which has a longitudinal axial passageway and upper and lower end portions and which is mounted in an upstanding position. A flexible hose is threaded through the passageway of the standard and has upper and lower end portions respectively projecting from the upper and lower end portions of the standard. A hanger is provided on the upper end portion of the standard for supporting a plant, and a nozzle is attached to the upper end portion of the hose in a position to dispense water to the plant either by a drip irrigation method or by a spay or other method. The lower end portion of the hose is connected to a source of water under pressure for supplying water to the nozzle. The apparatus provides an attractive support for a plant while enabling it to be regularly watered. It can be manufactured from a plurality of parts which in disassembled condition are convenient for distribution and sale and final assembly by a user. Also, the apparatus supports the plant in such a manner that water dripping from its container does not contact the apparatus and cause corrosion and wear.
