Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel moss pole designed for plant support and watering. The pole comprises a first elongated hollow perforated structure or pole, a second elongated structure, and absorbent materials surrounding both structures. Optional flexible lateral arms and optional fixing legs are provided for supporting lateral branches and enhancing stability in the soil. This innovative moss pole addresses issues of water wastage, rapid drying of moss, weak grip in soil, and lack of support for lateral branches, offering improved water conservation, plant health, stability, and support for gardeners and plant enthusiasts.
Claims17
A device, for supporting and watering a plant, comprising:
- a first elongated hollow body having a top end, a bottom end, and side walls, wherein the first elongated hollow body is open at the top end, closed at the bottom end, and the side walls are perforated by a plurality of holes;
- a second elongated body having a top end and a bottom end;
- and,
- a third body comprising a funnel with an upper wider part, a lower narrower part, and a structure with multiple legs, wherein each leg is located at a distinct position around a perimeter of the upper wider part of the funnel such that each leg may be stabbed into soil at a distinct location from the other legs, so as to provide extra support for better fixing of the device;
- wherein the bottom end of the first body is attached to the top end of the second body, and the bottom end of the second body is attached to the wider part of the funnel;
- wherein outer surfaces of the first body and the second body are surrounded by a first layer of a first water absorbent material which is then surrounded by a second layer of a second water absorbent material;
- and,
- wherein the first elongated body is configured to receive water through the top open end, and is further configured such that water flows through the perforated side walls into the first absorbent layer, then into the second absorbent layer, and then drips down through the absorbent layers into the funnel, and subsequently into soil through the narrower part of the funnel.

- providing a device comprising:
- a first elongated body having a top end, a bottom end, and side walls, wherein the first elongated body is open at the top end, closed at the bottom end, and the side walls are perforated by a plurality of holes;
- a second elongated body having a top end and a bottom end, wherein the bottom end of the first elongated body is attached to the top end of the second elongated body;
- wherein outer surfaces of the first elongated body and the second elongated body are surrounded by a first layer of a first absorbent material, which Is further surrounded by a second layer of a second absorbent material;
- a funnel having an upper wider part and a lower narrower part, wherein the bottom end of the second elongated body is attached to the upper wider part of the funnel;
- and
- a structure with multiple legs, wherein each leg is located at a distinct position around a perimeter of the upper wider part of the funnel such that each leg may be stabbed into soil at a distinct location from the other legs, so as to provide extra support for better fixing of the device;
- placing the device such that the narrower part of the funnel is positioned within soil;
- pouring water into the first elongated body through the top open end;
- and
- allowing the water to pass through the perforated side walls into the first absorbent layer, then into the second absorbent layer, and subsequently drip into the funnel and into the soil through the narrower part of the funnel.
