ABSTRACT:
A modular column planter, particularly adapted for household use, comprises a lower, middle and upper container. Each container has a bottom connecting with a sidewall that extends upwardly to define a top opening. On the lower container bottom is a post having a slotted, top retaining cup. Positioned about an opening in a bottom of the middle and upper container is an upright, hollow column and a lower column extension. A top edge of the middle container column is notched while a bottom edge of the upper container lower column extension is slotted. The planter is formed by fitting respectively the bottom of the middle and upper container in the top opening of the middle and upper container. As located, the middle container column extension fits into the lower container retaining cup and the upper container column extension fits into the middle container column upper end. These now joined columns form a watering tube. To align the respective watering tube notches and slots and hold containers together, fastening cams on the middle and upper container form twist-and-lock fits with locking slots in the lower and middle container sidewall. Soil in the lower and middle containers is moistened by filling the watering tube which then discharges to plants growing outward through openings in the sidewalls of these containers.
