ABSTRACT:
To provide water to a plant in a standard pot, a removable, preassembled plastic separator disc fits within the walls of the pot near its bottom to form a soil compartment above it for the roots of the plant and a water reservoir beneath it. Water is supplied to the soil for the plant by a porous plug that extends through the center of the plastic divider into the water compartment below it. Water is added to the water compartment through a first plastic tube and air is displaced through a second plastic tube both of which extend through the disc and soil. The separator disc is preassembled into a kit with porous plug and tubes to fit standard tapered pots.
