Abstract
This deconstructable plant pot overcomes the problems with soil and root disruption during transplanting. At its simplest, the pot has three parts: two curved sidewalls and a base. The sidewalls can be attached and detached from each other. The sidewalls are connected by sliding them together along their vertical edges. When they are attached they form a hollow body, which can be attached and detached from the base by twisting the base on and off the lower portion of the hollow body.
Claims1
A method of transplanting a plant from a deconstructable pot comprising a base, a first curved sidewall interconnected with a second curved sidewall forming a body into a pot larger than the deconstructable pot, the method comprising:
- a. adding soil to the larger pot;
- b. twisting off the base of the deconstructable pot that has the plant in it, leaving the plant in the body;
- c. placing the body on top of the soil in the larger pot;
- d. adding soil around the body in the larger pot;
- e. sliding a first sidewall of the body vertically upward to separate it from a second sidewall of the body;
- f. removing the first sidewall from the larger pot;
- and
- g. sliding the second sidewall vertically upward and removing it from the larger pot.
