ABSTRACT:
A sub-irrigation wick watering system is used for watering a plant growing in growing medium in a permeable container (14). The permeable container (14) is surrounded by a decorative or like container (16) holding a desired volume of water (17). The system includes a support member (13) adapted to be located on the base of the decorative or like container (16) and provide underlying support for the permeable container (14). The support member (13) is of a height, when so located, greater than the height of the water (17) in the decorative or like container (16).
Water absorbent wicks (11, 12) are adapted to be located so as to communicate between the water (17) in the decorative or like container (16) and the growing medium in the permeable container (14) by passing through holes (15) in the permeable container (14). When the support member (13) and the water absorbent wicks (11, 12) are so located, water from the decorative or like container (16) is absorbed by and passes by capillary attraction along the wicks (11, 12) to the growing medium in the permeable container (14).
