Abstract:
The present invention relates to an assembly, comprising a plant pot (258) having a bottom (260) and at least one side wall (264), extending from the bottom up to a top rim and at least one hole (268) which is arranged in or at least near the bottom, at least one wick (30) extending from below the bottom and through the hole and a container (256), dimensioned to accommodate at least a bottom portion of the plant pot comprising the hole through which the wick extends out of the plant pot. The container and the plant pot in an assembled state define a reservoir to accommodate fluid, such as water, for the plant to be drawn up through the wick during at least one of growing, transporting and display for sale of a plant in the plant pot, which is accommodated in the container. An overflow (284) with a controllable valve (288) may function to distinguish between a stationary state of the assembly and transport thereof.
