ABSTRACT:
A vertical plant stand arrangement includes a lower base having a water reservoir and pumping system, the electrical controls and timer unit; a central vertical support column provided with a plurality of plant stations and, optionally, an upper cover that house the water drip distribution system and the lighting system. The base has two physically separate sections--one housing the water reservoir and pumping system and the other housing the electrical system and timer. The water reservoir includes a filtering system and feeding lines to the top of the central vertical support column as well as return lines from each plant station to the water reservoir. The electrical system includes a timer that activates the pumping system in the water reservoir. The central vertical support column includes a hollow interior passageway for receiving the water lines and a plurality of plant stations attached thereto. The location of each of the plant stations is adjustable to allow different plant configurations. Each plant station can include a wicking arrangement to augment the drip system contained in the cover at the top of the central support column. The central support column also includes at its top a cover arrangement that includes the lighting system and a water distribution system to provide water to each of the plant stations on a drip system format.
