Universal plant pot base

Abstract

A base is provided to serve as a platform on which a plant pot is positioned. The base includes a body forming an interior space divided into an upper compartment in which a water permeable board is received to serve as a top face of the platform on which the pot is positioned and a lower compartment in which is water collector is removably positioned to receive and collect water flowing through the water permeable board. Excessive water that flows out of the plant pot is allowed to penetrate through the water permeable board and is thus not accumulated on the board so that water stain does not appear on the pot. The water collector is located below the board to receive the excessive water and cleaning of the collected water can be done by removing the water collector through a side opening defined in the base.

1 . A base for a plant pot, comprising:
 a body forming an interior receiving space;   a water permeable board constituting a top face of the body; and   a water collection container received in the interior receiving space of the base and below the water permeable board to collect water penetrating through the water permeable board.   
   
   
       2 . The base as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base has two end walls between which the receiving space is delimited, each end wall forming a support step, the support steps dividing the interior receiving space into an upper compartment and a lower compartment; wherein the water permeable board is received in the upper compartment and is supported at opposite ends thereof by the support steps to have a top surface of the water permeable board exposed and constituting the top face of the base; and wherein the water collection container is received in the lower compartment and below the water permeable board. 
   
   
       3 . The base as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the water permeable board is received in and interior receiving space and fixed to the base to form a platform for supporting the plan pot thereon. 
   
   
       4 . The base as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the water collection container is received in the interior receiving space in a removable manner. 
   
   
       5 . The base as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a side wall of the base forms an opening in communication with the receiving space and wherein the water collection container is removably received in the interior receiving space through the opening.
