Abstract

The system comprises an automatic device (20), (50), (76) for transfer of water, oblong in shape, made from a water absorbing means (21), (54), (80) preferably of synthetic material, inserted inside a waterproof and watertight means (22), (55), (81), the two ends (23) and (24), (56) and (57), (82) and (83) of said device being exposed for a sufficient length and being respectively and completely introduced, the one (23), (56), (82) into the earth (11), (58), (72) in the pot (10), (40), (41), (42), (70) holding the plant (12), (39), (73) and the other in the reserve of water (14), (60), (74) contained in the receptacle (13), (44), (71) or in a well, the surface of said water (14), (60), (74) being at a lower level than the exposed end (23), (56), (82) of the device (20), (50), (76) buried in the earth (11), (58), (72), thus bringing about in the device (20), (50), (76), due to capillarity and to lack of evaporation, a slow but continuous transfer of water (14), (60), (74) from the reserve of water to the earth (11), (58), (72) to keep it suitably moist.
