A houseplant maintenance device includes a base which acts as a water reservoir and which receives a potted plant therein. The pot is received in a gasket which is secured to the base. Embedded in the gasket is a support ring including downwardly angled cups, which receives hanging rods to allow hanging the device. The gasket is the color of the pot when the pot is wet, which gives a visual reference for determining the moisture content of the soil in the pot. The gasket is movably secured to the base by a set of lets which are received in a set of tracks inside the base. A wick is also provided for drawing moisture from within the base to the soil in the pot, the wick being encased by a water-impervious material. Other wicks are also constructed to convey mineral nutrients into the soil. A tongue-and-groove assembly on the bottom of the base allows the device to be removably secured in place.
