Water-level indicator and wide-mouth re-fill apparatus for sub-irrigated, containerized plants that attaches to a plant's growpot

A water-level indicator and refill apparatus for potted plants comprising:

• a lid having an upper lip and two lower leaves for forming a hinge system;
• an outer tube having:
• an upper end and a lower end with said upper end having an opening and lower lip and said lower end having a lower cap;
• two lower leaves to a hinge system in a U-shape molded into said upper end;
• a molded tab clipped centrally between the two leaves of the hinge system having an aperture;
• a plurality of drainage slots located on said lower cap of said outer tube to provide a point of egress for liquid within the apparatus;
• a hinge system where the upper leaves on the lid slide together with the lowers leaves molded into the outer tube and connect with a hinge pin;
• a water-level indicator cap having a closed end and an open end, having a dome on said closed end, which is mechanically attached to said molded tab;
• a shaft having a first end and a second end extending longitudinally through said outer tube, said shaft having a length longer than the length of said outer tube, wherein said shaft extends through said aperture of said molded tab and through said open end of said water-level indicator cap to a length just beneath the dome of said water-level indicator cap when liquid level in the apparatus is at a maximum and wherein said shaft extends to a length just beyond the open end of said water-level indicator cap when liquid level is at a minimum;
• A float attached to said shaft by a receiving slot;
• and
• A clamping system having two outer arms, two upper arms, two inner arms, and a connecting arm attached to said outer tube by lowering said clamping system in a slot in said outer tube and securing with a hinge pin.
