Abstract
A container for plants is defined by a bottom and side walls, and a drainage riser extending interiorly from the bottom, the riser having drainage openings adjacent the interior extremity and including an opening communicating through the bottom. A removable plug is provided for closing the bottom opening, as desired. A plant support and drainage platform is removably fitted across the enclosure above the extremity of the drainage riser, so as to define a plenum between the drainage platform and the riser.
