Abstract:
A system for holding plant containers for watering plants through the bottoms of the plant containers, including:(a) a support having an array of support members; and(b) a plurality of plant containers, each container having a bottom surface with indentations complementary to support members of the support and one or more holes in or near the bottom surface;(c) the support members and the indentations being sized and shaped to engage each other so that the support members support each container of the plurality of plant containers and provide each container with some stability against falling over;(d) the indentations and support members being sized so that the bottom surface of the container protrudes below or almost below the support members when the support members and indentations are engaged with each other, enabling water from below the support members to enter each container through the one or more holes of each container; and(e) the support having a number of different retention positions for the plant containers, enabling the spacing between containers on the support to be varied.
