Patent ID: 8418403

Claim:
A plant holder comprising: a center pipe adapted for hanging from a first end thereof, the center pipe having an adapter coupled to a second end thereof; a plurality of pot holding rings, each receiving and supporting a pot with a bottom of each pot passing through a respective pot holding ring; a plurality of unit arms, each slid over the center pipe and each having a plurality of equally angularly spaced outwardly extending arms terminating with a connection mating with and supporting a mating connection on a respective pot holding ring; at least one indexing spacer slid over the center pipe between each adjacent pair of unit arms, the at least one indexing spacer determining spacing between the pair of unit arms indexing the unit arms to angularly offset one unit arm with respect to the other unit arm about an axis of the center pipe; a plurality of catch trays, each snapping under and being supported by the base of a pot extending through the respective pot holding ring for collecting water that seeps through soil in the pot; first and second manifolds, the first manifold being adjacent the first end of the center pipe and the second manifold being adjacent the second end of the center pipe; and tubing to direct water from the first manifold to each of a plurality of pots supported by two unit arms closest to the first end of the center pipe, to direct water from the catch trays of pots supported by the two unit arms to pots supported by lower two unit arms, and to direct water from the catch trays of pots supported by the lower two unit arms to the second manifold for collection.
