Abstract
A plant watering device is disclosed which includes a planter tray having an upper surface for supporting potted plants. The planter tray has a plurality of legs depending downwardly from the upper surface with the upper surface located above a bottom wall of a water container. The water container has an open top, closed side walls and a closed bottom wall which define a reservoir to receive water or water mixed with plant food. The water container includes deep recessed pockets in the bottom wall of the water container positioned to receive and support the legs of the planter tray when the planter tray is in a lower watering position. The water container also includes shallow recessed pockets in the bottom wall of said water container positioned to receive and support the legs of the planter tray when the planter tray is in an upper drainage position. When the planter tray is manually moved to the lower watering position, potted plants supported on the planter tray are partially submersed to allow watering thereof. When the planter tray is manually moved to the upper drainage position, potted plants supported on the planter tray are located completely above the liquid.
