Abstract
A flower pot assembly for keeping at least one plant temporarily alive without having to water it, includes a pot permeable to water in which the plant is potted with the required amount of soil, and a container impermeable to water in which the pot is received, so that a space is formed between the pot and the container. A gel formed of a water-absorbing polymer and water at least partially fills the space between the pot and the container. The container and gel are used as a packaging for the potted plant in order to keep this plant alive without having to water it during transport and when put on display for sale.
Claims9
A flower pot assembly for keeping at least one plant temporarily alive without having to water it, comprising:
- a water-permeable rigid pot filled with soil and a potted plant;
- a water-impermeable rigid container in which said pot is received and which is configured and dimensioned such that it is only slightly greater in size in relation to said pot and so that a soil and clay-free space is formed between said pot and said container;
- and
- a gel solely and at least partially filling said space between said pot and said container consisting essentially of a water-absorbing polymer and water which gel releases said water gradually over time to effect watering of said plant during transport and display thereof, said gel in said space between said container in said pot defining a volume which is less than the volume of said soil in said pot.
