DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(7) With reference now to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, an example of the instant plant pot with separable halves employing the principles and concepts of the present plant pot with separable halves and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described.

(8) Referring to FIGS. 1 through 6 the present plant pot with separable halves 10 is illustrated. The plant pot with separable halves 10 includes a semicylindrical first container half 20 having a semicylindrical upright first interior shell 22, a semicylindrical upright first exterior shell 24, an arc-shaped top side 26, an arc-shaped bottom side 28, a pair of elongated rectangular first side portions 30 extended between the first interior shell 22 and the first exterior shell 24, and a first chamber 32 disposed between the first interior shell 22 and the first exterior shell 24. A plurality of first aeration openings 34 is continuously disposed within the first interior shell 22 of the first container half 20.

(9) The plant pot with separable halves 10 further includes a semicylindrical second container half 36 having a semicylindrical upright second interior shell 38, a semicylindrical upright second exterior shell 40, an arc-shaped upper side 42, an arc-shaped lower side 44, a pair of elongated rectangular second side portions 46 extended between the second interior shell 38 and the second exterior shell 40, a second chamber 48 disposed between the second interior shell 38 and the second exterior shell 40, and a circular horizontally disposed base unit 50 attached to the lower side 44, the base unit 50 having an upper surface 52, a lower surface 54, and a cavity 56 disposed between the upper surface 52 and the lower surface 54. A plurality of second aeration openings 58 is continuously disposed within the second interior shell 38 of the second container half 36. A plurality of drainage openings 60 is continuously disposed within each of the upper surface 52 of the base unit 50 of the second container half 36 and the lower surface 54 of the base unit 50 of the second container half 36.

(10) A plurality of dowell pins 62 is continuously disposed on each of the pair of second side portions 46 of the second container half 36 from proximal the upper side 42 to proximal the lower side 44, and a plurality of slots 64 is continuously disposed on each of the pair of first side portions 30 of the first container half 20 from proximal the top side 26 to proximal the bottom side 28. A circumference of each of the plurality of dowell pins 62 is approximately equal to a circumference of each of the plurality of slots 64, thus allowing one of the plurality of dowell pins 62 to be selectively engageable within one of the plurality of slots 64. The first container half 20 is then attachable to the second container half 36 when one of the plurality of dowell pins 62 is engaged within one of the plurality of slots 64. A combined circumference of the bottom side 28 of the first container half 20 and the lower side 44 of the second container half 36 is approximately equal to a circumference of the base unit 50 of the second container half 36.
