Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006128414A2] The invention relates to a planter (10) with a plant container (12) that is open at the top and with a holding container (18), which is also open at the top and which serves to hold a plant culture. The plant container (12) and/or the holding container (18) are/is provided with a spacer device (24) so that the bottom (20) of the holding container (18) is situated at a distance above the bottom (14) of the plant container (12). The space (26) delimited by the respective bottoms (14, 20) can be filled with water. The planter (10) also comprises at least one overflow element (28), which specifies the maximum height to which the plant container (12) can be filled with water or comprises at least one indicating device that indicates a maximum height to which the plant container (12) can be filled with water. According to the invention, the bottom (20) of the holding container (18) has recesses (30) and/or elevations (32) of different dimensions so that at least some areas of the bottom (20) of the holding container (18) are located at the same height and/or preferably underneath the maximum filling height of the plant container (12), and at least some other areas of the bottom (20) of the holding container (18) are located above the maximum filling height of the plant container (12). The bottom (20) of the holding container (18) has openings (34) through which the water flows into the space (26) and/or out of the space (26) and into the plant culture and/or through which the roots can grow out from the plant culture and into the space (26).
