Abstract
An automatic houseplant watering device allowing the rate of water flow or nutrient solution flow, the duration of irrigation, the time of irrigation and the number of irrigations per day to be adjusted by the user. A programmable timer controls a solenoid valve which connects a reservoir to a water distributor. The gravity outflow of water or nutrient solution is transferred from the water distributor to the planters by small size hoses. The rate of water flow or nutrient solution flow to the planters can be adjusted using small valves attached to the end of hoses. A float control valve is used on the upper part of the reservoir to supply water to the reservoir.
