Design of planter and water reservoir/liquid bottle

Abstract

An improved planter with optional inserts for growing house plants in potting soil or hydroponically in pebbles or other potting medium for the purpose of improving the characteristics of purifying ambient air quality and reducing the work of maintaining the plants. A removable see through water reservoir/liquid bottle is attached to the planter such that the water level in the planter is maintained constant at all times. The watering frequency is reduced because of the large water reservoir/liquid bottle. Three different types of inserts may be added to the planter to further enhance the effectiveness of air purification by the plants. A simple insert used to increase the interface areas of ambient air with the potting medium and the root system. The second insert includes a circulation fan to increase the circulation of air through the potting medium and the root system. The third insert includes a lamp with or without a circulation fan. The addition of a lamp will help to sterilize the air. Another advantage of this improved planter is that water at the bottom of the planter does not in direct contact with the ambient air thus greatly reduced or eliminated the growth of mildew or microbes which is a common problem in existing self watering planters on the market. The non-spill liquid bottle can be partially turned over after refill will not spill its content. This design makes pouring liquid from a bottle much less likely to spill. Therefore, the application of this type of liquid bottle can be found in many applications where spillage is a concern. Examples of its usage include water bottle for bottled water drinking fountain, motor oil, anti-freeze fluid, cooking oil, etc.
