Planting pots with holes do not allow the soil inside to hold enough water at all times, so watering must be done regularly to prevent the plants from wilting.

In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems, there was once a new patent application for "Xiaopin potted flower automatic water supply tray" with the announcement number M324970 in Taiwan, China. On it, and insert more than two water-absorbing sticks 13 in the perforation 121 of described upper plate 12 to absorb the water liquid in the described lower plate 11, so just can be inserted in potted plant (not shown in the figure) ) The water-absorbing rod 13 in the bottom drainage hole supplies water liquid to the soil in the potted plant; yet, the above-mentioned design needs to contain the water liquid in a manual way. 12 can be carried out together with all the potted plants, which is time-consuming and laborious, and if too much water is added to the lower plate 11, the water liquid will enter the upper plate 12 through the opening 121, so that the bottom of the potted plants is soaked in water, increasing Chance of plant root rot.

Then there is a new patent application for the "automatic water supply plant pot group" of Taiwan's announcement number M282489, as shown in Fig. The first water-absorbing member 23 that is shaped and used to absorb the water in the water storage device 21, the water delivery pipe system 22 is composed of more than two water delivery pipes 221 and more than two connectors 222 staggered combination, so After the branched end 231 of the first water-absorbing member 23 passes through the corresponding connector 222, it penetrates into the opening 241 at the bottom of the plant pot 24 to contact the second water-absorbing member 25 laid on the bottom of the plant pot 24. The capillary action of the first water-absorbing member 23 and the second water-absorbing member 25 absorbs the water in the water storage device 21 and transports it to the planting pot 24. The water storage device 21 can be supplemented; yet, the above-mentioned design still has the following disadvantages in actual use:

When the height of the water liquid is lower than the water delivery pipe system 22, it will be affected by gravity and the speed of absorbing the water liquid by the first water-absorbing member 23 will be slowed down, which will affect the water delivery effect.

The water pipe system 22 is composed of more than two water pipes 221 and more than two connectors 222 staggered, and the first water-absorbing member 23 must pass through the connectors 222 and its branched ends 231 Penetrate the planting pot 24, and the second water-absorbing member 25 needs to be laid in the planting pot 24, so the overall assembly is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and after the planting pot 24 is moved, the branch shape of the first water-absorbing member 23 Relocation of the tip 231 is also relatively difficult. After the branched end 231 of the first water-absorbing member 23 is installed, a part will be exposed between the planting pot 24 and the connecting head 222, so the water is easy to evaporate into the air from here to reduce the use efficiency of water, and it is easy to The breeding of algae pathogens not only hinders the transmission of water, but also causes harm to the health of plants.
