Abstract A potted plant display stand for displaying a small potted plant at angles, varying from 20 to 70 degrees, to the horizontal, for fuller viewing by a bedridden patient. The base of the stand is a hollow, dome-like shell, circular in shape, for placing the stand securely on a horizontal surface. The base is constructed (preferably molded) of thin material, such as plastic, for lightness and to facilitate the nesting of two or more stands in a reduced space. The potted plant is held in a cup-like circular recess in the side of the stand which recess is slightly larger in circumference than the outer circumference of the pot being held. The circular recess has a narrow overhanging lip across the top to frictionally hold the pot in place. A hollow area beneath the circular recess permits the nesting of stands of like dimensions, one on top of another. A modification of circular recess dimensions permits the nesting of smaller stands within slightly larger stands.
Apparatus for displaying a small potted plant which comprises: a hollow, dome-like shell, circular in shape, constructed of thin, lightweight material, preferably plastic, for supporting said apparatus on a horizontal surface; and a cup-like circular recess in the side of said apparatus, said circular recess being slightly larger in circumference than the outer circumference of the pot being held, for holding said small potted plant at an inclined angle to the horizontal, for ease of viewing the contents of said apparatus by a bedridden observer and which said circular recess has a narrow overhanging lip across the top of said circular recess to frictionally hold said pot in place.
