Zusammenfassung:The present invention concerns a hydro planter comprising an inner container which can accommodate a substrate, an absorption medium and an outer container. The inner container has one or more grids that enable liquid to filter from the inner container to the outer container. The absorption medium has at least one conductive element that is located in the substrate within the inner container and the conductive element is also located in the outer container, and the absorption means also has a flattened portion which extends with the inner container. Finally, the outer container has two or more legs which enable the outer container to be supported on a surface and which form a gap through which air or water can flow, and the hollow interior of each leg forms a tank for storing a liquid, inside of which the lower portion of the conductive element is received. Thus, the hydro planter can receive plants, store liquid, supply said liquid to the plants, avoid spills, be adapted to concrete surfaces, to green flat roofs, to a modular system comprising a plurality of hydro planters, or a combination thereof; said hydro planter can improve thermal insulation and have a configuration that facilitates the transportation thereof, and can be manufactured with recyclable materials and low manufacturing costs. La presente invención consiste en un hidromacetero compuesto por un contenedor interno que puede alojar un sustrato, un medio de absorción y un contenedor externo. El contenedor interno posee una o más rejillas para permitir la filtración de líquido del contenedor interno al contenedor externo. El medio de absorción posee al menos un elemento conductor que se localiza en el sustrato dentro del contenedor interno y el elemento conductor también se localiza en el contenedor externo, y el medio de absorción además posee una porción aplanada la cual se extiende con el contenedor interno. Finalmente, el contenedor externo posee dos o más patas que permiten sostener al contenedor externo sobre una superficie y forman un espacio libre por el cual puede fluir aire o agua, y en el interior hueco de cada pata se forma un reservorio para almacenar un líquido y dentro del cual se recibe a la porción inferior del elemento conductor. De esta forma, el hidromacetero puede alojar plantas, almacenar líquido, provisionar ese líquido a las plantas, evitar derrames, adaptarse a superficies de concreto, a azoteas verdes, a un sistema modular formado por una pluralidad de hidromaceteros
