US 2006/0150506 A1 · Water self-refilling plant pot

Abstract

A long-term water self-refilling plant pot is comprised of a hollow pot body, which includes a water-supplying section recessed from a top side of the pot body for accommodating a plant, a reservoir formed at the hollow space of the pot body for accommodating water, an infusion opening located on the pot body and running through the pot body for communication between the reservoir and outside, an infusion plug provided for sealing the infusion opening, at least one outfall running through an internal sidewall of the pot body for communication between the water-supplying section and the reservoir and having a diameter sufficiently large for preventing the liquid surface tension of water from sealing the outfall, and a regulating unit provided for controlling of sealing/unsealing the outfall. Thus, the plant pot can keep supplying the plant with adequate water without manual watering for a period of time.
