ABSTRACT:
A container assembly for growing and transplanting plants is disclosed. The container assembly includes an open ended pot, a drainage tray, and a drainage disc removably supported on an annular flange near the bottom end of the pot. The drainage disk is movable through the pot for displacing a volume of soil and a rooted plant through the top opening without disturbing the soil surrounding the roots of the plant. The tray sidewall and pot sidewall define an open reservoir space between the sidewall of the tray and the sidewall of the pot to permit the plant to be watered from the bottom. A combination of centering ridges carried on the bottom of the tray and axially projecting feet depending from the annular flange removably support the bottom opening of the pot above the bottom surface of the tray and below the top of the tray sidewall so that water may drain from the soil into the open reservoir space, and water may be withdrawn by capillary action from the reservoir space through the botton opening to a rooted plant contained within the pot.
