ABSTRACT:
A potted plant turntable including a base and a rotating dish. The rotating dish supports a potted plant which is slowly rotated with the dish to allow even exposure of the plant to sunlight. The dish rests on a bearing collar of the base and is gear driven by an AC or solar powered motor. A rheostat controls the rotation speed in increments of hours, days, weeks, or months. A programmable timer keypad provides for pre-changing of the different speed settings. A heating element is positioned under the dish, and the top section of the base adjacent the dish carries a fiber optic ring that encircles the dish. Both ultrasonic and chemical pest repellant accessories are provided in the base.
