Nest and stack plant pot

A plant pot for holding a growing medium and a plant, said pot comprising:

• a generally circular and horizontally extending bottom that includes an outer annular band and a centralized base within said band, said centralized base having a plurality of promontory-like elements and a plurality of channels defined by said promontory-like elements;
• a sleeve-like side region joined to said horizontally extending bottom at said outer annular band and having an outwardly tapered wall that extends upwardly from said outer annular band of said base;
• and
• an annular top region having a rim, a side band connected to said rim and a transitional flange projecting radially inward from said side band and joining said annular top region to said sleeve-like side region;
• wherein said annular top region, said sleeve-like region, said plurality of channels, said plurality of promontory elements, said centralized base and said outer annular band are configured to allow said pot, when empty, to be conveniently and compactly nested in a columnar formation with a like empty pot and to further allow said pot, when holding said growing medium and said plant, to be stacked in an interlocking manner upon a portion of a rim region of a plurality of underlying like growing medium and plant-holding pots;
• and
• wherein each of said promontory-like elements extends radially inward toward the center of said centralized base and have a first arcuate side and a second arcuate side, each of said first and second arcuate sides being provided with an amount of curvature that is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction from the other of said arcuate sides and which join one another to form a linear apex.
