The invention relates to a watering device for planting vessels, in which liquid can be supplied to the plant pots, in particular their saucers 8, from a liquid container 1 via an angle lifter 4. Also projecting into the liquid container is an air-supply pipe 5, the mouth of which lies (slightly) higher in the container 1 than the mouth of the angle lifter 4. Angle lifter 4 and air-supply pipe 5 are guided through the container 1 to the outside in an airtight manner (seal 3). <IMAGE>
