A transparent container for plants or cut flowers which includes a separate mounting plate for attachment of the container to a generally vertical surface such as a window or mirror. The mounting plate includes pressure actuated mounting means such as double-stick adhesive tape or suction cups. The container includes a perforate platform, spaced from the bottom of the container having upstanding supports for cut flowers, and a wick which is placed in a plant support medium for distribution of water stored in a reservoir in the bottom of the container beneath the platform. A self-watering window box results which is maintained in a substantially horizontal position and is easily removed for cleaning and maintenance.
