Wicking Planter System

摘要

The invention involves an apparatus and system for a self-watering planter. The system includes a liquid container and a growth medium container secured together with snap type fasteners. A plurality of evenly distributed growth medium wells extends downwardly from the growth medium container into the liquid container for utilizing capillary action to transfer liquid into the growth medium. Root apertures are provided for the roots to extend into the liquid container. A snap together hanger, which includes snap-lock type fasteners, is provided for hanging the assembly from an overhead structure, and a filling window is provided to fill the liquid container.

主权项

1. A self-watering planter system comprising:
a growth medium container, said growth medium container including a base panel, said base panel including a top surface and a bottom surface, at least one sidewall integrally formed to said base panel at a generally obtuse angle for containing a growth medium for plants, said base panel including a tunnel portion extending upwardly from said top surface of said base panel, said tunnel portion including a first portion of a securing assembly for securing said growth medium container to a liquid container, said base panel including an annular well portion, said annular well portion extending downwardly with respect to said bottom surface of said base panel, a bottom portion of said annular well including at least one aperture for transfer of liquid to and from said reservoir container, a liquid container, said liquid container including a bottom panel having an upper surface and a lower surface, a continuous sidewall integrally formed to said bottom panel to create a watertight container having an open top, said bottom panel including an annular shaped post extending upwardly with respect to said upper surface, said post including a second portion of said securing assembly for securing said growth medium container to said liquid container.
