The present invention relates to a suspended flowerpot adapted to automatic water supply and, more specifically, to a plant cultivation system wherein multiple flowerpots can be suspended on a horizontal member, and the system has a water supply structure enabling automatic water supply to the flowerpots by means of buoyancy, thereby facilitating management for plant cultivation. The present invention, as described above, comprises: at least one flowerpot comprising a mounting portion that can be suspended on a horizontal member, and a body portion having a containing space therein and having a water supply hole in the lower portion thereof; a plant planting portion having an open supper portion through which soil and plants are contained therein, the planting portion being contained in the flowerpot; and a water supply portion having a water storage space for storing water supplied from the outside, having a drain hole formed in the lower portion of the water storage space such that a water supply hose connected to the water supply hole is mounted therein, and having a buoyancy opening/closing portion driven by buoyancy according to the water level, thereby opening/closing the water supply hole.

A system and method are provided for the indoor and outdoor cultivation of larger fruiting plants. Improved lighting techniques, plant layouts, and space utilization are provided to improve the quality and yields of harvested products from large fruiting plants on a per plant and unit area basis. The uniformity of artificial light is improved from the top to the bottom of tall plants and vines, and overcome the lack of light penetration through the canopy of the plant by changing the orientation of lights from a horizontal to vertical alignment along the side of the plant verses over the top of the canopy, as well as increasing the number of light sources to reduce shading. Plants are trained to grow in specific directions and orientations in a grid system to enable an optimal and uniform light distribution and to improve space utilization in a given growing area.

A window planter includes a first compartment including a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first compartment is configured to house a first group of plants. A second compartment is slidably coupled to the first compartment. The first compartment includes a first outer sidewall. The second compartment is configured to house a second group of plants separated from the first group of plants by the first sidewall of the first compartment. A third compartment is slidably coupled to the first compartment. The third compartment includes a second outer sidewall. The third compartment is configured to house a third group of plants separated from the first group of plants by the second sidewall. At least the first compartment and the second compartment are configured to be secured to a window frame.

Disclosed is a customizable in-ground stand that retains its position in response to off-center, leaning, and/or top-heavy forces imposed onto it by a retained object. The stand includes an elongated tube. The stand includes an interchangeable retention ring with a downward extension that attaches to a top of the elongated tube, and with a length of tube that extends laterally in front of the elongated tube as an incomplete ring from the downward extension. The stand further includes an interchangeable base with a rod that attaches to a bottom of the elongated tube, and with support members that extend outwards from each side of the rod. Each of the support members has a vertical triangular plate that extends perpendicularly from the rod and that narrows to a particular point towards a bottom of the rod, and a lip that extends perpendicularly over each vertical triangular plate.

A planter for detachably affixing and securing a pot and plant in a vertical orientation relative to a tree, the planter adapted to allow the tree to grow through the planter and blend in with surrounding vegetation.

A plant hanging assembly for rotatably suspending a plant pot from a support includes a plant pot that has a bottom wall and the bottom wall has a drain aperture extending therethrough. A shaft is extended through the drain aperture in the bottom wall of the plant pot and the shaft is suspended from a support. A plurality of members is each rotatably coupled to the shaft and each of the members is oriented perpendicular with respect to the shaft. The bottom wall of the plant pot rests on each of the members when the shaft is extended through the drain aperture. In this way the shaft suspends the plant pot from the support.

This disclosure includes an upside-down planter with a body having an upper end opposite a lower end. The body includes at least two separate and discrete sections secured together to define a cavity. Support cables are secured to the upper end of the body. An opening in the lower end of the body is configured to receive a portion of a plant. At least one mechanical fastener releasably secures the at least two sections of the body together.

This invention relates to a basket (1) for cultivating an orchid plant (2) having aerial roots (3) and slots (4) for passing the plant's roots and/or leaves (2a). The basket is constituted by separate basket parts (5, 6), arranged to be interconnected at an interconnection interface (7), thus enabling to insert the plant's roots etc. in the basket parts' separated state, and to hold the plant's roots etc. in their joined state. The first basket part (5) comprises a bottom part (10) and three sides parts (11, 12, 13). The second basket part (6) comprises one side part (14) and is arranged to be connected to the first basket part in order to form the fourth basket side in the basket parts' interconnected state. The bottom part (10) and the two side parts (11, 13) extending towards the interconnection interface (7) comprise slots (4) which are open towards the interconnection interface (7).

A planter includes a wall and a rim formed at an open end portion of the wall. A set of holes is formed through the wall and is disposed on a surface beneath the rim. The surface beneath the rim includes a shape to obscure a view of the hole below the rim.

An irrigation method for hanging plants in a hanging plant carousel system that includes a frame and a measuring assembly. The frame is fixedly coupled to a substantially stationary structure, such as the building or a portion of a truss system supporting the carousel system. The measuring assembly includes a movable arm, a sensor and a controller. The movable arm has a contact surface with a measuring start and end point, which extends into the path of the basket hook coupled to the cable of the carousel system. The movable arm is displaceable by at least one of the basket hook or a plant pot structure coupled thereto. The sensor coupled to the movable arm and is configured to provide data from which the weight of a plant pot structure can be determined. The controller is configured to control a watering system to provide water to the plant pot structure.
