A self-watering system for a potted plant or potted flower is disclosed that includes an outer pot, comprising an inside surface, and outer surface, and a riser, platform or raised surface having a tailored height and coupled with the inside surface of the outer pot; a reservoir, wherein the reservoir is bounded by the inside surface of the outer pot and the riser, platform or raised surface; and a wick having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is designed to be inserted into the bottom of an inner pot and the second end is designed to rest in the reservoir. A method of using a self-watering system is also disclosed. Wicking and hydration system for organic or conventionally grown plants and flowers has been developed and is described herein that is: a) adjustable to the particular plant or flower, b) reusable, and in some instances may be recyclable or biodegradable, thus reducing waste, c) relatively simple to use and clean.

A set for assembling a length and shape adjustable planter comprising (a) a plurality of elongate troughs being length customizable by cutting thereof; the elongate troughs having a longitudinal axis and a H-inverted cross section; the elongate troughs interconnectable therebetween; (b) interconnecting members configured for interconnecting the elongate troughs in series; and (c) end members configured for mounting onto a free end of the elongate troughs. A surface of each trough at least partially is provided with a surface profile distributed over a length of the trough. The interconnecting members are securable on the surface profile.

A cultivation container rack according to the present disclosure is characterized by being provided with a cultivation container storage section for storing a cultivation container, the cultivation container storage section being provided with a first member that constitutes the top surface of the cultivation container storage section, a second member that constitutes the bottom surface of the cultivation container storage section, and a third member that is disposed on the second member and supports the cultivation container, the third member supporting the cultivation container such that the distance between the first member and the cultivation container is no greater than the distance between the second member and the cultivation container.

There is disclosed a water treatment apparatus for treating stormwater, the water treatment apparatus comprising a volume of filter media, a baffle and an inlet conduit. The baffle extends upwards from the volume of filter media and defines a pre-treatment zone on one side of the baffle and a treatment zone on an opposing side of the baffle. The inlet conduit opens into the pre-treatment zone and is separated from the treatment zone by the baffle. The baffle is configured to regulate a flow of stormwater received via the inlet conduit by controlling the passage of stormwater from the pre-treatment zone to the treatment zone.

A system for cultivating plants comprising a plurality of cultivation shelves for cultivating plants, support frames structured to support the cultivation shelves so as to form one or more horizontal cultivation planes that develop along a first horizontal direction, an aeroponic feeding system, which is provided with nebulizing devices that are arranged at the cultivation shelves for spraying the liquid towards the cultivation shelves themselves, and a suction duct arranged at the nebulizing devices to suck up the nebulised liquid dispersed by the same.

A vertical wall display system for displaying potted plants includes trays that have a base portion and a back portion disposed at an acute angle with respect to each other. The base portion of the tray defines a plurality of niches in a linear array for receiving potted plants, each niche defines a reservoir capable of retaining a predetermined volume of a fluid. The back portion of the tray includes connecting elements for connecting the back portion of one tray with the back portion of a second tray so that the trays are substantially co-planar. Each of the trays define at least two sections that are joined so at to be separable into discrete sections that include different numbers of niches.

A plant watering apparatus comprising: a watering trough, for receiving and holding a growth-sustaining liquid therein; an actuator for actuating the watering trough between a first position and a second position; and a carrier system comprising a pair of conveyors and a plurality of cradles, the cradles supported by the pair of conveyors and spaced apart therealong, the cradles holding supported plants therein. The conveyors convey the cradles along a path, thereby transporting the cradles to and from a watering position disposed above the watering trough. When a cradle is at the watering position, the watering trough can be elevated to the second position, thus immersing the supported plants in the growth-sustaining liquid in the watering trough so as to permit uptake of the growth-sustaining liquid by the supported plants.

A method for tracking seeds in an assembly line grow pod having a plurality of carts is provided. A target seed is deposited in a selected cell which is a part of a selected tray located in a selected cart travelling on an assembly line grow pod. A position of the target seed is tracked in the selected cell by determining the position of the target seed in the selected cart and determining a position of the selected cart in the assembly line grow pod. Sustenance is provided to the target seed including the selected cell. A growth factor of the target seed is determined in the selected cell. Upon determination that the growth factor of the target seed in the selected cell is below a predetermined threshold, supply of the sustenance provided to the selected cell is adjusted.

Devices used to provide water to a container plant are disclosed. The devices may be configured to collect and retain water from saturated soil and then to distribute the collected water to dry soil. The devices may comprise a reservoir, a collection lid, and a wick. The devices may be configured to be disposed within a plant container.
