Abstract
A horticultural container assembly including a container which has an open end pot and a hollow sub-base defined by an annular wall provided by an extension of the annular wall of the pot beyond the normal perforated base of such a pot, the annular wall of the sub-base terminating at a base rim for supporting the pot on a support surface with an inner peripheral wall thereof extending upward from the base rim to the perforated base and, a cup shaped saucer of a size to be telescopically received fully within the hollow sub-base by the inner peripheral wall. The perforated base, inner peripheral wall and base rim of the pot have means associated therewith for cooperatively providing with the saucer at least one drain-vent passage that is open at one end to the exterior of the sub-base of the container and having its other end in communication with the perforated base and with the interior of the saucer.
