ABSTRACT:
A plant watering container assembly comprising a bottom container section having side and bottom walls defining a water reservoir, and a top container section removably connected to said bottom container section. The top container section includes an integrally formed funnel-shaped section having a side wall extending downwardly toward said reservoir and defining a conical opening for receiving a side wall of a potted plant, and further having an integrally formed annular bottom wall defining at its radially inner edge a central opening through which a watering wick can pass downwardly into the reservoir. In the event the container is tipped or turned, water in the container reservoir is trapped in an annular chamber defined by the wall of the funnel and the top and bottom container sections, thereby precluding water passing outwardly through the central opening of the funnel-shaped section.
