ABSTRACT:
A self-watering planter having a base divided into two compartments, one for soil and one for water, separated by a divider wall. A wick extends from the water compartment over the divider wall into the soil compartment. A common upper rim encircles both compartments and a cover which defines a single compartment is seated on the rim, so that the cover forms with the base an enclosed space communicating with both lower compartments. Thus evaporation from either lower compartment is recycled. The lower surface of the cover top wall can be dimpled to distribute condensate more evenly over the plants.
