ABSTRACT:
A horticulture device is provided for rotating a plant as moisture transpires from the plant and evaporates from the container holding the plant. The device includes a spring which is linearly distorted due to gravity as the plant is watered and which is restored as the plant releases the water and the water evaporates from the container. The spring is connected to a motion converting mechanism that converts linear distortion of the spring to rotational motion which in turn is used to rotate the plant.
