ABSTRACT:
A new and improved protection apparatus is provided for a plant pot. The protection apparatus is installed in the plant pot which contains a quantity of soil and a plant therein. The protection apparatus includes a planar base member and an array of ridge portions that project upward from the planar base member. The ridge portions are arrayed on the planar base member in an alternating arrangement of planar base member portions and ridge portions. A plurality of apertures is located in the planar base member portions for permitting water to pass from the planar base member portions to the soil in the pot. A slot extends through a portion of the planar base member and through respective portions of the respective ridge portions. The slot permits respective opposing portions of the planar base member and the ridge portions which are adjacent to the slot to be separated by a person installing the protection apparatus in the pot. The slot extends from the central aperture to an outer edge of the planar base member. A separable trough assembly is provided which includes an annular trough member and a plurality of hollow spike members projecting downward from the annular trough member into the soil to allow water placed in the trough to seep into the soil through the spikes.
