Patent ID: 6986224

Claim:
An apparatus for plant attendance conveying wetness from a liquid contained in a reservoir to a medium wherein roots grow in a substantially downward direction from a plant growing in a substantially upward direction from a pot, wherein: in the reservoir: a reservoir bottom from a periphery of which reservoir sidewalls rise to form a reservoir opening having a reservoir rim, the reservoir being filled to a liquid level retained within a liquid level range, in the pot: a pot bottom from a periphery of which pot sidewalls rise to form a pot top opening having a pot rim protruding laterally outward from the pot top opening, the pot being inserted through the reservoir opening and supported therein, and a wetter coupled to the pot bottom, and having at least one lower conductor with a conductor lower end, the at least one lower conductor conveying wetness from the at least one lower conductor to the medium, wherein: the wetter is coupled in removable reversible replacement to the pot bottom, and is configured for support of the pot on the bottom of the reservoir, directly on the wetter itself, and the liquid level is retained below the bottom of the pot, the apparatus comprising: the wetter being configured to have mutually aligned components including a cover atop receiving a cup in engagement thereunder, wherein: the cup has a bottom pierced by a plurality of bottom passages, the cover provides a receptacle disposed above a partition in intermediary separation between the receptacle above and a skirt below, the receptacle is formed as an upper chamber for receiving at least one upper wetness conductor, and the partition forms a receptacle bottom which is pierced throughout from side to side by control bores, whereby plant attendance is turned from conventional watering attendance to plant wetting attendance, and whereby the at least one lower conductor conveys wetness from the reservoir to the medium via the plurality of bottom passages, the at least one lower wetness conductor, the control bores, and the at least one upper wetness conductor.
