Abstract
A fragrance emitting plant watering system having a bottom vase providing a reservoir for water supply for a potted plant, an air freshener cartridge supported on the vase, a cap adapted to overlie the cartridge and having a central section for supporting a plant, and wherein the cap is adjustable relative to the vase for movement between a first position in which the cap is raised to variably expose the cartridge to emit fragrance, and a second position in which the cap substantially covers the cartridge to seal said cartridge and inhibit fragrance emission.
Claims2
A plant watering container assembly comprising:
- a bottom container section having closed side and bottom walls defining a reservoir for supplying water to a plant contained in a generally funnel-shaped pot, and
- a top container section removably connected to said bottom container section in a water tight manner, said top container section including an integrally formed funnel-shaped central section extending downwardly toward but terminating substantially above said reservoir and defining a complementary funnel-shaped opening for receiving the potted plant, with the length of said funnel-shaped central section being such that the bottom of the section extends below the pot when the latter is supported in position,
- whereby, in the event the container is tipped or turned on its side, water in the reservoir is trapped outwardly of said funnel-shaped central section, the water tight connection between the top and bottom container sections precluding water passing outwardly of the container through the funnel-shaped central section.
