Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, hanging plants most often receive more light on one side.
This often causes the plant to grow unevenly and more in the direction of the light resulting in the plant becoming unattractive and unhealthy.
A disadvantage of these devices is that they require the use of an energy source to operate and can be somewhat heavy, increasing the weight of the planter on the overhead support surface.
A disadvantage to this device is that it's rotation is dependent upon the amount of moisture in the soil of the plant and this moisture level can b

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority from Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 687,328 filed Jun. 6, 2005.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates, in general, to a device for supporting a hanging planter and, more particularly, to a device for supporting and enabling the manual rotation of a hanging planter to ensure that every side of the plant receives ample light to maintain the health and beauty of the plant. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Plants provide beauty, decoration and even health benefits. Many people enjoy using hanging baskets to display their favorite plants. Unfortunately, hanging plants most often receive more light on one side. This often causes the plant to grow unevenly and more in the direction of the light resulting in the plant becoming unattractive and unhealthy. Most anchoring and mounting devices prevent the rotation of the plant so that it is able to receive an even amount of light on all ...
