## Abstract

A plant holder has a basket formed from a base and a peripheral sidewall around the base. A support arm extends upward from the base at a flat region of the sidewall. A hook at the distal end of the support arm may be inserted into a hole in a vertical surface such as a wall. The basket is then suspended from the support arm and the flat region of the sidewall abuts and is flush with the vertical surface. The support arm may be angled slightly inward toward the center of the basket in order to provide additional force holding the plant holder against the vertical surface it is suspended from.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A plant holder comprising:
a basket having a planar base and a rim defined by a peripheral sidewall;
a flattened stabilizing element on the rim of the basket; and,
a vertical support arm having a retention hook at an upper end and attached to the basket at a lower end, the vertical support arm extending upward from the stabilizing element at an acute angle to the rim;
wherein the base is defined by a plurality of curved wires.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The plant holder of claim 1 wherein the peripheral wall consists of a circular rail having a diameter greater than a diameter of the base and a plurality of wire posts extending upward from the base.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The plant holder of claim 1 wherein the stabilizing element is a flattened region of the sidewall.
