ABSTRACT:
A self-watering system provides water through capillary action across drainage holes in the bottom of a common pot without intrusion of any wicking material into the pot or necessity for transplanting the plant from the common pot in which it was commercially vended. The common pot is placed upon a felt wick pad which substantially covers the entire surface of the bottom of the common pot. The felt pad in turn is placed on a ceramic, porous base, which serves as a wick, which supports the felt pad, and which defines a water reservoir beneath a common pot. The common pot together with the felt pad and ceramic support are placed within a decorative pot with the water reservoir defined between the decorative pot and the ceramic support. The ceramic support is made of a fired mixture of talc, Tennessee #1 clay, OM #4 clay, P-V #1 clay, Pyrex and sand.
