A harvested tree reservoir made from a durable and impermeable material that mounts on the trunk of a harvested tree by inserting the cut end of the harvested tree trunk therein and engaging one or more sealing devices around the circumference of the tree trunk to create a water-tight or spill-resistant seal. The reservoir may then be filled with liquid through one or more ports located on the sides or bottom of the reservoir, with one or more ports having a connector hose. When the reservoir is filled, the tree may be transported, stored, and displayed with minimal spillage of the contents of the reservoir. Additionally, the reservoir may be re-filled, from time to time, through the ports. The reservoir may also be connected, via the connector hose, to one or more other reservoirs to allow for contemporaneous filling or refilling of a plurality of reservoirs in a series.

A stand device having a housing with a base and an upper body, the upper body having a top opening for receiving the bottom of a tree and having an upstanding sidewall extending in a circumferential arrangement to define an inner chamber with a chamber height. The assembly having a securement assembly with at least one adjustable strap residing along a generally horizontal plane with a tightening mechanism, the tightening mechanism having at least one engagement surface aligned with a mating surface of the strap, wherein movement of the actuator forces said engagement surface against the mating surface of the strap to reduce the diameter of the strap loop. The assembly further having a horizontally extending tube that has an upward curved portion with an opening located at or below the height of the inner chamber.

A moisture sensor providing a visual and audio alert when a tree needs to be watered. The moisture sensor may be mounted onto Christmas trees to detect when water levels are low in the tree stand. The moisture sensor comprises a housing and a probe attached to the housing. The housing may be a Christmas-themed character. The moisture sensor includes a PC board within the housing for determining water levels in the tree stand and uses a LED indicator and speaker to indicate when water levels are below a threshold.

A Christmas tree stand, with a watering spout, comprising: a tree stand apparatus with a build-in tarp that is unrolled from the stand when the tree is to be discarded. The stand comprises: a hollow frusto-conical-like shaped housing covered with a hinged collar that is used to pivot the tree to the floor. The housing further comprises: a rotating wheel with spurs in the base; and a rotating cylinder with baffles connected on the cylinder's top edge. A cable lays on the top of the baffles and against the outer sidewall of the rotating cylinder. The cable also runs between three evenly spaced sets of restraints with screws aligned perpendicularly into the tree trunk. When a tree trunk is placed in the rotating cylinder, atop the wheel, and rotated clockwise, then cable pulls the screws against the trunk, and the tree is then locked into place with a foot pedal.

A device is provided for supplying a fluid to a cut plant. The device includes a container comprising a base and a surrounding wall extending from the base to define an enclosed space or cavity for holding the fluid. The device also includes a connector coupled to the container. The device further includes a flexible tube coupled to the connector at a first end and having a jagged open end, wherein the connector enables a fluid communication between the container and the flexible tube. A system is provided that includes such a device, a holder for the cut plant, and a fastener to secure the flexible tube to the holder. The flexible tube extends into the holder to allow the fluid to flow from the container to the holder, such that a fluid level in the container is the same as a fluid level in the holder.

One embodiment provides a system, including: an ornament assembly comprising: a fluid pump therein, wherein the fluid pump comprises an inlet and a discharge; a control mechanism operatively coupled to the fluid pump, wherein the control mechanism controls the fluid pump; a power source operatively coupled to control mechanism; and at least a first aperture and a second aperture; the first aperture being connected to the inlet of the fluid pump and having a connection mechanism for connecting a fluid transfer device; and the second aperture being connected to the discharge of the fluid pump and having a connection mechanism for connecting a fluid transfer device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

A hydroponic feed indication apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may include a hollow body having a distal body portion and a proximal body portion. The distal body portion may be inserted into a tree stand, and the proximal body portion may receive fluid via a proximal body portion top end. The apparatus may further include an anode electrode and a cathode electrode disposed at a distal body portion exterior surface. The anode electrode may move along a distal body portion length via a first elongated slit disposed on the distal body portion. The cathode electrode may move along the distal body portion length via a second elongated slit disposed on the distal body portion. The apparatus may further include a fill level indicator disposed on the body. The fill level indicator may activate when the fluid shorts the anode electrode and the cathode electrode.

An automated fluid maintenance system comprising a sensor system and a pump configured to deliver fluid from a refillable reservoir to a container holding a Christmas tree, such as a Christmas tree stand. Embodiments of the system include tree attachment hardware capable of controlling the flow, delivery and direction of the fluid being pumped from the of the fluid system's reservoir to a fluid-holding container of the Christmas tree stand and further capable of securing the point of fluid delivery to the tree stand and/or the tree itself. The tree attachment device universally attaches to any available tree stand, even the most complex stand mechanisms, sizes and shapes that obstruct the path to the Christmas tree being maintained by the automated fluid delivery system of the present application.

A tree watering device. The tree watering device includes an elongated body having a channel therethrough. A funnel having an open upper end is disposed on an upper end of the elongated body, wherein the funnel is in fluid communication with the channel. A hollow stake having an open lower end is disposed on a lower end of the elongated body, wherein the hollow stake is in fluid communication with the channel. A fastener disposed on the elongated body is configured to secure the elongated body to the tree. A valve disposed on the elongated body is configured to selectively allow water to flow from the funnel through the channel and out of the open lower end of the hollow stake for providing water to a tree such as a Christmas tree.

The present invention generally relates to a live plant or tree, such as, a Christmas tree that is being held in water, inside a stand, and also has a low water indicator. The present invention also provides a Christmas tree stand that has a low water indicator, and has an independent spring compression system that is self-adjusting and serves to position the tree securely and up-right. The low water indicator system is a float device that will rise and fall with the water level, mainly including a float, plunger, activation wire, power source, and buzzer that is built or attached to the tree stand. As the water level drops the float-plunger system activates an electrical connection and causes an alarm to be activated. Upon the activation of the alarm the tree stand will require water, and once water is added, the alarm will automatically deactivate.
