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; and two or more plant pots, each having a central hole at their respective bottom portions; the central holes being sized so that when the elongate vertical member is passed through the central hole of each of the two or more plant pots, said two or more plant pots can each be tilted at an angle and stacked sequentially at approximately said angularly tilted configuration; and the two or more plant pots being sequentially stacked along said elongate vertical member at approximately 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. wherein the means for providing vertical support located at the lower end of the elongate vertical member is a plurality of radially spaced-apart support legs in combination with an extension of said elongate member projecting below said legs, wherein when the means for providing vertical support at the lower end of the elongate vertical member is the plurality of radially spaced-apart support legs, each of said support legs is formed so as to provide a bracing effect with the elongate vertical member and the ground surface.
