Plant water trough

Claim 1

A plant water trough, comprising an endless, open-topped trough adapted to contain water and defined by an upstanding, endless relatively tall inner wall of substantially 11/2 inches height, and an upstanding, endless, relatively short outer wall of substantially 11/4 inches height spaced substantially uniformly apart from and outside of the inner wall by substantially 1 inch, the inner wall defining an enclosed space of a size and shape larger than an individual common flower pot, both the outer and inner walls radially extending substantially outside a rim of the flower pot to locate the trough in a position spaced apart from the pot and to permit water in the trough to evaporate and the humid atmosphere created thereby to flow directly upwardly along a path of travel spaced horizontally apart from the outside of the flower pot to the foliage of a plant rooted in the pot, and three suspension means members equiangularly spaced about the trough, each suspension member being attached at one end to a hook for engagement over the pot rim, and at another end to a trough attachment means, said trough attachment means engaging said trough through an aperture formed in said inner wall, the aperture being located at a point vertically above the top rim of the outer wall and below the top rim of the inner wall, and the suspension means being of a length to suspend said trough from a lip of the pot at a level vertically intermediate the pot lip and a pot base, thereby providing a concentration of water vapor to the plant foliage while locating the trough at a point below the space used to observe, work and water the plant in the pot and yet providing an invigoratingly moist atmosphere for the plant.
