ABSTRACT:
A self-watering tray includes a plate and a leg. The leg is filled with a material which provides a fluid conduit capable of draining water or fluid from a plant pot or box into the plate and of sucking water from the plate to the plant pot or box when needed. The plant pot or box can be a conventional plant pot or box. The top end of the leg is inserted into the plant pot or box. In addition, a self-watering pot-shaped apparatus is disclosed to allow fluid to be sucked or drained from one section of the apparatus to another section of the apparatus. Further, the tray or pot-shaped apparatus includes air vents on its side walls. Various arrangements and configurations of the tray and pot/tray are implemented in the self-watering pot-shaped apparatus.
