The application relates to a plant watering apparatus comprising an outer pipe, an inner pipe, a water tank and a base, wherein said outer pipe having a lower end and an upper end, and wherein said inner pipe having a lower end and an upper end, and wherein said inner pipe is inserted in said outer pipe, and wherein said lower end of said inner pipe is designed to allow water to be poured from said inner pipe to the proximal vicinity of said lower end of said inner pipe, and wherein said lower end of said outer pipe is in vicinity of said base and designed to allow water to be moved from said proximal vicinity of said inner pipe to the soil outside said outer pipe, and wherein said water tank is connected to said upper end of said inner pipe in a watertight and airtight manner. And wherein said plant watering apparatus is designed to be inserted into soil, and wherein said upper end of said outer pipe is designed to be at least at said soil surface to allow free airflow between said upper and said lower ends of said outer pipe.

A method of monitoring at least one aspect in a vegetation wall system and an apparatus for doing the same. The method comprising measuring, by a sensor, a first component and a second component in the vegetation wall system; determining, by a processor, a change in the at least one aspect based on: the first component, the second component, and an amount of time between the measurement of the first component and the second component; determining whether the change in at least one aspect is outside a threshold range; and in response to determining the change in the at least one aspect is outside the threshold range, determining an anomalous condition exists.

A device for growing plants above a selected surface includes a bottom member disposed upon a selected surface; a top member disposed upon and secured to said bottom member via two longitudinal securing seams, whereby, said top member includes two outer longitudinal flap portions and a longitudinal center portion, which ultimately receives a growing material in which plants and/or seeds are disposed. The longitudinal flap portions are ultimately folded above the growing material whereby longitudinal edge portions of the flap portions are separated a predetermined distance for allowing water and light to engage the growing material. Pipe members are removably secured to longitudinal edge portions of each longitudinal side of the bottom member, thereby enabling the manual lifting and transport of the device for disposal upon a selected surface.

A plant-growing tray comprises a tray top and a plurality of cells extending downwardly from the tray top. Each cell is for containing a substrate for a plant, for the propagation or growth of the plant. Each cell is associated with a catchment area of the tray top, and each catchment area has a sloped surface which, during watering of the plants in the tray, directs water impinging or falling on the catchment area towards the cell.

A photobioreactor system includes a growing tower tray assembly configured to utilize laminar flow to harvest a plant; a nursery subsystem configured to feed inoculum to the growing tower tray assembly; and a nutrient feeding subsystem configured to feed nutrient media to the growing tower tray assembly.

The disclosure relates to a planter.

Proposed is a flowerpot including a water supply tube. The flowerpot is configured such that in a state where multiple flowerpots are arranged, adjacent flowerpots are connected to each other by using the water supply tube made of a silicone rubber material having a flexible elastic property to enable water supply, so as to provide a flexible layout between the flowerpots while preventing leakage of water.

Systems and methods for vertical farming that reduce the deployment cost, operational costs of human labor, and overall use of energy intensive processes, such as lighting, heating and cooling, and ventilation, while increasing crop quality and yield. This reduction is achieved through a hybrid system that alternates natural light, temperature, and ventilation sources with system-controlled lighting, temperature, and ventilation means. The system includes a germination module that allows seeds to germinal on a horizontal substrate, a growth module that provides optimal growth conditions to the germinated seed on the substrate in a vertical position, and a dosing module that controls the micronutrient mixture supplied to the growing plants.

Disclosed is an intelligent water supply planting pot, including a pot body, a water delivery pipe, and a controller. The pot body is recessed to form a containing cavity. A partition plate for dividing the containing cavity into a planting cavity and an equipment cavity is arranged in the containing cavity. The water delivery pipe penetrates through the partition plate and is contained in the containing cavity. A humidity detector is arranged in the planting cavity. An electromagnetic valve is arranged in the water delivery pipe. The controller is arranged in the equipment cavity and is electrically connected to the humidity detector and the electromagnetic valve. A solar panel with an adjustable height is also arranged on the pot body. The solar panel is electrically connected to the controller.
