ABSTRACT:
A plant growing receptacle to be employed particularly by commercial nurseries wherein numerous plants are cultivated for future sale to the purchasing public. The container is readily adaptable for use with a variety of plants and includes a conical body made of a molded plastic which includes a side wall and an integral bottom wall. A pair of diametrically opposed openings are formed in the side wall, and are adapted to receive a root from the growing plant therein and are positioned along the lower portion of the side walls. Also, drain openings are formed in the side wall, slightly above the bottom wall of the container and below the root receiving openings. The receptacle may be used as effectively for placement into the soil which has been previously mechanically drilled to receive the same, or used above ground when placed on an impervious base such as a plastic sheet or the like.
