ABSTRACT:
A starter pot for plants has an aperture in the bottom wall. The aperture is spaced from the side walls of the pots and has an upturned lip around the periphery thereof so as to form an annular water reservoir space at the bottom of the pot and concealed from exterior view. A disc is enclosed within the pot and rests on the upturned lip to support soil in the pot and to prevent the soil from entering the water reservoir space. The disc has several notches formed in its periphery to permit water to drain from the soil into the water reservoir space. A continuous annular rim depends from the disc in overlapping engagement with at least a portion of the upturned lip to block the escape of water frm the reservoir space through the bottom of the pot. The disc is detached from the pot so that the disc can be pushed upwardly through the pot to remove a rooted plant therefrom without disturbing the root system of the plant.
