ABSTRACT:
A unitary rigid wetter is reversibly and releasably coupled by hand to the bottom of a plant pot that is then inserted into a reservoir filled with liquid. The length of the wetter is adjustable to fit pots and reservoirs that are available on the market. The wetter is appropriate for use by plant growers, by retailers, and by plant owners. Wetness is conveyed by the wetter from the liquid to a medium wherein a plant grows, via at least one lower wetness conductor retained in the interior the wetter. A wetness controller is adjustable to limit the amount of wetness conveyed, to match the type and the nature of the plant. Optionally, at least one upper wetness conveyor is available.
