The object of the present invention to provide an improved plant watering system which can be easily hooked up and provides a regulated flow of water to any type of plant. It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved watering apparatus, which can be easily hooked up to any type of irrigation system available, and keep the planter and/or plant hanger from corrosion and wear by keeping the water in a flexible hose threaded through the wood post and/or steel tubing structure. It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved watering apparatus, which is simple and inexpensive in construction, which can be used indoor or outdoor for growing and displaying plants.

A light-emitting birdbath basin having a body and a light-emitting body. A bottom portion of the body protrudes inwardly into the body to form a chamber. The light-emitting body is provided inside the chamber. Chamber walls of the chamber are formed as a first luminous body which is translucent. Lights emitted by the light-emitting body may brighten the hollow chamber to form a luminous chambe, and be configured to converge and focus on the surfaces of inner walls of the body after passing through the first luminous body. The basin-shaped body is placed outdoors. Water and bird food can be held in the basin. In daytime, the light-emitting body does not light up. Birds can clean their feathers and peck at the bird food in the basin, which is environmentally friendly and energy saving.

Various embodiments of vertical hydroponic horticulture systems are provided that maximize space saving features and provide improved convenience and recyclability. The hydro-ponic systems disclosed herein use a simple flexible mesh tube that can be tied at the bottom, and optionally tied at the top, and filed with a suitable growing medium for hydroponic agriculture. A plurality of perforations is provided in the mesh envelope for plants to grow on the exterior of the envelope with their roots in the medium inside the mesh envelope. An irrigation water drip may be provided at the top of the tubular flexible mesh tube, and a water collector may be provided at the bottom of the mesh tube, and a pump may be provided for recirculating the aqueous nutrient solution from the bottom of the mesh tube to the irrigation water drip at the top. In an embodiment, the mesh tube may be hung from an overhead supporting member. In an embodiment, the entire system may be self supporting by the use of a rigid pipe that acts as an internal skeleton through the center of the mesh tube.

This disclosure relates to compositions, containers, systems, assemblies, and related methods for cultivation and shipping of live and growing plants. The compositions, containers, systems, assemblies, and related methods disclosed herein provide additional stability for a plant's growing environment and enable prolonged storage and shipping shelf life while also reducing or eliminating the need for refrigeration.

The present disclosure provides a container having an outer pot, inner sieve removably positioned in the outer pot and a saucer secured to the outer pot. Placement of the inner sieve within the outer pot creates a channel through which air can flow and better aerate and therefore prune plant roots. In turn, the pruning will promote growth of new branching roots from the center of the root system. Further, water contained in the saucer provides a capillary effect to hydrate the plant and growing medium. Alternatively, the container defines an inner sieve removeable positioned in an outer pot without the saucer, the sieve and pot defining a channel through which air can flow. The channel is defined as air flowing from lower portion of the container to an upper portion of the container.

A plant support structure comprises segments, which each include at least one plant site. Each segment may have a first end and a second end. The first end may have a first opening, and the second end may slidably nest inside the first opening of an adjacent segment to enable an increase of distance therebetween. The first opening may be larger the second opening. Spacers or couplings between segments may be used to slide the segments apart. Each segment may include a path for a nutrient solution to flow to the at least one plant site in the segment.

A planting structure includes a water filtering bag, a plurality of hanging ears mounted on an outer face of the water filtering bag, and a plurality of planting sources placed in the water filtering bag. The water filtering bag is made of permeable material with a permeation effect. The water filtering bag has an interior provided with a receiving space. The planting sources are received in the receiving space of the water filtering bag. Thus, the planting structure is directly hung on a cup by the hanging ears, so that the user plants and takes out the planting sources at any time according to the practical requirement.

The present invention relates a plant cultivation apparatus using an up-down system enabling mass production of plants by allowing the entire area of a greenhouse to be used as a cultivation space.

The plant cultivation apparatus using the up-down system includes a driving unit 20 installed at trusses 12 installed at regular intervals in a forward and backward direction to horizontally cross tops of inner pillars 11 of a greenhouse 10 and including a deceleration motor 21, a drive shaft 22, driving sprocket members 23 installed at the drive shaft at regular intervals in the forward and backward direction and including first to fifth sprockets 231 to 235, and first to fourth left and right auxiliary sprockets 241 to 244 installed to be adjacent to left and right sides of the second to fifth sprockets respectively, an elevating unit 30 operably installed by the driving unit 20 including first to fifth elevating members 31 to 35, and left and right cultivation gutters 40 and 40 ascending and descending in a state of being coupled to left and right ends of the first to fifth elevating members respectively. The left and right cultivation gutters of the first to third elevating members simultaneously ascend and descend alternately in turn by using one deceleration motor and one driving shaft.

The invention discloses a stagger stacked flowerpot, which is characterized in that: the stagger stacked flowerpot is comprised of a flowerpot body, in which a soil baffle is provided to divide the flowerpot body into a plant and compost space and a water storage space; the soil baffle is provided with a water groove, which effectively separates the irrigated water from the soil. The invention has the advantages as simple structure, preferable rigidity, security, stability, reliability, convenient plantation, low construction and maintenance cost, fast irrigation and easy control thereof, and water-soil separation, and is suitable for building masonry walls, commercial spaces, residences and so on.

The potted plant system of the present invention uses the space between the inner and outer pots as a reservoir for water. The water reservoir acts passively to transport water into the spoil of the inner pot which is subsequently used by the potted house plant. The reservoir is filled by over watering the inner pot and allowing the excess water to pass through the apertures within the inner pot. Passive transport of water from the reservoir to the soil occurs as the water saturation of the soil decreases. As a result, the soil and the potted plant remain hydrated for longer period of time as the reservoir continuously replenishes the water. The water within the reservoir can be drained through a quick connect sliding valve located on the outer pot. The quick connect sliding valve is either placed above another water receptacle or is fitted with a hose that transports the water to a drain.
