A water storage and dispensing system comprising a post, a water source and a plant watering system. The primary function of the post is to act as a support structure for a variety of devices, which may include, but are not limited to, mail boxes, street lights, fence and signboards. The post has a hollow interior, and also has an inlet means and an outlet means. The water source is connected to the inlet means to fill water in the hollow interior of the post. The plant watering system is connected to the outlet means to use water dispensed by the post for watering plants surrounding the post.

An inexpensive wick watering system for potted plants and flowers is disclosed. An inner grower pot containing a plant/flower and soil has holes in its bottom surface along with a central indentation. The outer decorative pot into which the inner pot is inserted has a central protrusion which accepts the central indentation of the inner grower pot and a hole inserted into the center. A Wicking insert is inserted into the bottom of the outer decorative pot before inserting the inner grower pot with holes in its bottom surface. This wicking insert works to transfer water sitting in the volume created between the inner grower pot and the outer decorative pot when the inner grower pot is placed inside the outer decorative pot due to the soil's natural ability to be infiltrated and naturally hydrated by the water. Water that rises up to the hole in the center portion of the outer pot central protrusion drains from the outer pot.

A sustained release irrigation apparatus for effective water management. The sustained release irrigation apparatus includes a reservoir, a support structure, an absorbent surface, a water permeable top layer and a top opening on the water permeable top layer for filling water in the reservoir. The support structure is positioned on the reservoir and designed to support a potted plant thereon. The absorbent surface is positioned on the support structure and includes an absorbent opening. The top opening positioned on the water permeable top layer receives water from a water source and fills water into the reservoir. The water collected in the reservoir flows upwards to the water permeable top layer and then reaches the soil inside a pot thereby making water available to the roots of the potted plant without any wastage.

The present invention is a manufacture for nurturing plants from a propagative source. The manufacture includes a holder for holding the propagative source, a tail extending from the holder for feeding water to the holder and the propagative source. The manufacture is positioned in a cover for a cup where the cover is inverted so as to support soil and so as to support the manufacture and where the cover has a hole and where the tail extends through the hole and into the cup.

A water-level indicator and re-fill apparatus for the sub-irrigation of potted plants. The indicator uses a float and shaft placed inside an outer tube attached to a potted plant as a way to visually indicate to the user when the reservoir of the sub-irrigation system is running low. While attached to the plant, the user may conveniently re-fill the apparatus after being notified of the water level without disassembling the apparatus or removing it from a decorative planter.

A self-watering plant growing system for self-watering of a plant includes a lower container and an upper container, each having an annular wall that extends from a bottom to an open top. The upper container, which can contain bedding and a plant, is stackable upon the lower container, which can contain water. A wicking element is positionable within the bedding in the upper container and is extendable through a set of slots, which is positioned in the bottom of the upper container, and into the water that is in the lower container. The wicking element transfers the water from the lower container into the bedding, by capillary action, to water the plant.

The present invention concerns a hydro planter comprising an inner container which can accommodate a substrate, an absorption medium and an outer container. The inner container has one or more grids that enable liquid to filter from the inner container to the outer container. The absorption medium has at least one conductive element that is located in the substrate within the inner container and the conductive element is also located in the outer container, and the absorption medium also has a flattened portion which extends with the inner container. Finally, the outer container has two or more legs which enable the outer container to be supported on a surface and which form a gap through which air or water can flow, and the hollow interior of each leg forms a tank for storing a liquid, inside of which the lower portion of the conductive element is received. Thus, the hydro planter can receive plants, store liquid, supply said liquid to the plants, avoid spills, be adapted to concrete surfaces, to green flat roofs, to a modular system comprising a plurality of hydro planters, or a combination thereof; said hydro planter can improve thermal insulation and have a configuration that facilitates the transportation thereof, and can be manufactured with recyclable materials and low manufacturing costs.
