A controlled wick waterer for planter pots wherein at least one pair of opposed rails restricts capillary flow through the wick, and improved by at least one rail opposed by a pair of rails with interengagement of the rails for diagonal compression along two lines transversely of the wick, and any multiple of said at least one rail opposed by a pair of rails, carried by a platform over a reservoir within a pot and with manual access and level indicator for filling and a pressure adjustment for controlling the rail pressure upon the wick therebetween.

A controlled wick waterer for planters and having a flow control regulating capillary transport thereof through the wick, and including: a wick having a supply portion to be immersed in a water reservoir, an intermediate portion, and a delivery portion to be buried in soil within the planter, a wick compressor means comprised of opposed rails in spaced parallel relationship disposed transversely of and each in tangential line contact with the intermediate portion of the wick extending therebetween, and a pressure means to force the rails into opposed compressive engagement into the wick thereby restricting capillary flow therethrough.
