ABSTRACT:
A water-supplying apparatus, which can keep a predetermined water level therein, includes a water-supplying device, and a water distributor. The water-supplying device includes a water reservoir, a water-supplying container, and a holder. The water reservoir holds water therein to a predetermined water level. The water-supplying container has an opened end and a closed end, and is disposed in an inverted manner so that the opened end is positioned in the water held in the water reservoir. The holder holds the water-supplying container detachably in the water reservoir in the inverted manner. The water distributor includes a water-distributing member, and a cover member. The water-distributing member has a predetermined length, opposite ends and a peripheral portion, and distributes water by a capillary action from one of the opposite ends to another thereof. The cover member covers the peripheral portion of the water-distributing member excepting the opposite ends thereof, and inhibits water from leaking. One of the opposite ends of the water-distributing member is immersed in the water held in the water reservoir of the water-supplying device, and the other one of the opposite ends of the water-distributing member is disposed in a region where roots of a plant can be supplied with water. The water-supplying apparatus can water the plant without shortage or overflow for a long period of time unattendedly.
