ABSTRACT:
A self-maintenance planter device for the purpose of supporting, nurturing, watering, and feeding a plant organism is disclosed. The planter includes the components of a water/absorbent reservoir, a soil support plate, a water addition tube and cap, and one or more conduit wicks to accomodate bidirectional water flow between the water/adsorbent reservoir and the potting soil. The planter device is constructed to promote time periods of reversed water flow from the potting soil through the conduit wicks to the water/absorbent reservoir. Various noxious substances such as mercaptans are flushed from the potting soil into the absorbent/water reservoir, and the noxious substances are physically or chemically absorbed into the absorbent substance, thereby providing a purified environment for nurture and sustenance of plant organisms for extended time intervals.
