A soil support for a plant container having a water reservoir below the support in which water-absorbent fabric in the support carries water to the soil base from the reservoir. To provide uniform watering to the soil, the fabric is provided with pathways to distribute water as evenly as possible throughout the fabric. These pathways are defined by regions of non-absorbent fabric which channel the water along the absorbent pathways. In a practical construction, interstices in the fabric are blocked, as with injection moulded plastics, to make the non-absorbent regions. Also, a main absorbent pathway, which is separated from the soil, is provided along longitudinal edges of the fabric to encourage water flow along the whole length of fabric before the water is brought into soil contact.
