ABSTRACT:
A cultivated plant either which blossoms or has only leaves can be provided over a long time interval simultaneously with moisture and a nutrient material without watering. A root ball containing the nutrient material including the roots of the plant is surrounded by a moist material which simultaneously uniformly feeds it and supplies it with moisture. This moist material is advantageously formed from a mixture of swollen and then broken clay pieces and from a plurality of cellular or foamed plastic material pieces which is provided surrounding the root ball in a container for the plant advantageously in the ratio of about 2:1 or 3:1. In this way the plant with the usual earth or humus root ball can be provided with moisture uniformly over a long time interval without requiring that a particular container or plant be used.
