Claim:
A vertical plant stand comprising: a monolithically formed solid elongate vertical member having an upper end and a lower end; the lower end having means for providing vertical support located at the lower end of the elongate vertical member; a plurality of elongated generally hook-shaped members, a proximal portion of each hook-shaped member being integrally fixed to the elongate vertical member and projecting in a generally horizontal direction away from the elongate vertical member, and a distal portion of each hook-shaped member being directed in a generally vertical upwardly direction, each hook-shaped member generally having a solid cross-section from said proximal portion to said distal portion; the hook-shaped members being one of longitudinally spaced-apart along the elongate vertical member, radially spaced-apart around the elongate vertical member, and a combination of being longitudinally spaced-apart along the elongate vertical member and radially spaced-apart around the elongate vertical member; a plurality of removable plant pots, each having a central hole at their respective bottom portions; the central hole of each of the plurality of plant pots being sized so that when the distal portion of each hook-shaped member which is generally directed vertically upwardly, is passed through the central hole of each of the plurality of plant pots, said plant pots can each be tilted at an angular configuration; and each of the plurality of plant pots being supported on the distal portion of each corresponding hook-shaped member and oriented so as to be tilted at said angularly tilted configuration, wherein said means for providing vertical support located at the lower end of the elongate vertical member is adapted to be one of: insertable in the soil of a base plant pot, restable on a ground surface and buried in the soil below the ground surface.
