Abstract
The disclosure is of a plant-growing device comprising a container of which the lower part forms a water reservoir with a sight-glass, a plate covering the reservoir and supporting a mass of rooting medium, and a water-supply channel for the introduction of water to the reservoir, the plate being foraminous for the aeration of the rooting medium and penetrated by tubes of which the lower ends dip into the water in the reservoir, the tubes containing capillary material and being selectively closable.
