ABSTRACT:
A plant pot assembly characterized by a container covered by a substantially impermeable cover such that water may be drawn upwardly through a capillary space between the covering and the container to irrigate a plant disposed within the container. The assembly also includes an outer enclosure which distills irrigation water, and which further aerates the growing medium within the container by forcing vapor saturated air into the medium. Due the combination of a capillary pumping action and an evaporation/condensation cycle, the plant pot assembly provides continuous irrigation for a plant at most ambient temperatures.
