Abstract:

A plant care apparatus having a container for holding a liquid of water or water with fertilizer to be delivered to plants. The container has an outlet opening in the bottom thereof, a fill opening in the top and a way to seal the top of the container from entry of atmospheric air. A consistent pressure chamber is disposed below the container outlet opening for holding a predetermined amount of liquid which drains from the container. An air control passageway leading from the outlet opening of the container down to a predetermined level in the consistent pressure chamber causes the liquid from the consistent pressure chamber to fill until it reaches the predetermined level and closes the passageway. Once this passageway is closed, it prevents air from entering the container and thereby prevents the liquid from flowing. At least one accumulation chamber is provided below the consistent pressure chamber.
