ABSTRACT:
The present invention is, in simple terms, a self-watering flower pot; it comprises a water storage tank which is made up of a dual-chambered hydraulic system, an elastic water container and a chamber which accumulates and releases the tank's water into an integrally attached planter portion. The present invention stores a sufficient amount of water, poured into its tank, and releases the water periodically into its planter portion, without the use of electrical or chemical power sources and the frequency of water release may be determined by the user. The present invention is energized as a result of water poured into its storage tank and that energy will be proportional to the amount of water in the tank. The present invention is portable, lightweight, intended to weigh approximately five pounds and be made of plastic, but may be made of any rigid material(s), of any density(s) that will allow proper operation.
