ABSTRACT:
A device is set forth for administering water to potted plants in a manner promoting optimal plant growth which comprises a cylindrical container to accommodate a plant and the necessary potting material. An irrigation chamber is positioned circumferentially inside the container. The irrigation chamber contains a plurality of serially arranged irrigation ducts that reside just above the soil surface. A transport channel connects the irrigation chamber to a water input pipe extending through from the container's outside wall. A valve is attached to the other end of the input pipe and a water supply line is attached to the input side of the valve. The water supply is turned on causing water to flow from the valve, through the input line, into the transport channel, and into the irrigation chamber. Finally, the water passes through the irrigation ducts and is uniformly distributed onto the soil surface. The valve is adjusted to regulate the quantity of water to accommodate the plant's particular water demand, thus, promoting optimal plant growth.
