Abstract
A water reservoir defining plant container that has a manually actuated pump operatedly associated therewith, which pump when actuated by the user discharges a fine mist or spray on the soil and plant situated in the container. The container has ports in the lower portion thereof through which excess water in the soil in the container may drain into a shallow dish situated below the container. The dish is preferably in removable engagement with the container, to prevent inadvertant separation of the container and dish, when the container is moved from a position it normally occupies.
