ABSTRACT:
A nursery plant container assembly comprising an inner container which houses the plant, a base plate which supports the container, and an exterior jacket which surrounds the container. The container may be of conventional construction, with an open top and drain openings at the bottom. The base plate underlies and supports the container a spaced distance from the base plate. A peripheral wall is mounted on the base plate, creating a reservoir into which the plant treating fluids drain through the container openings.
Wicks extend through the container openings into the reservoir and return the fluid to active use in irrigating the plant. A jacket surrounding the container has at its bottom a radially extending support foot bearing against the base plate.
A retainer on the base plate positions and retains the foot. Seal means at the top of the jacket contacts the outer surface of the container and seal off the space between the container and the jacket.
