A plant container includes a support structure sized to fit within a pot. The support structure includes a flexible polymeric mesh and water-wicking material that cooperate to support and contain growing medium and a plant root structure therein. At least one wick member extends from the bottom wall of the support structure and has a terminal portion that is placed in a water reservoir. An electronic water level sensing and alarm circuit is preferably supported by the support structure. At least one pair of conducting wires is electrically coupled to the electronic circuit and extends from the electronic circuit to the terminal portion of said member. The electronic circuit raises an alarm in the event that water level in the water reservoir is below the predetermined threshold level. Hand lifting means are connected to (or part of) the support structure for manual lifting of the container together with the growing medium and plant for quick and efficient transplantation between pots with minimal mess.
