Planting container
The present invention provides a planting container capable of sufficiently and stably supply planting water to a rhizosphere where roots of a plant grow, securing as large a space as possible for the rhizosphere, and further accelerating the growth of the stem or leaves of the plant. The planting container comprises a planting container body 1 including a planting space 2 having an opening at a front portion thereof to allow a plant to grow, a reservoir 8 for planting water that is provided in a lower part of the planting space 2, and a water-absorbing planting bed placed within the planting space 2 with a bottom portion thereof being positioned in the reservoir 8 for absorbing planting water retained in the reservoir 8 to cultivate the plant, wherein the container further comprises a receiving surface 10 for receiving the planting bed within the planting space 2 formed as an inclined surface that is raised progressively toward the opening and is lowered progressively away from the opening.
Vertical living wall planter
A vertical planter having a partitioned tray, a liner, and a sliding wire support grid, wherein the partitioned tray engages the sliding wire support grid to provide access to the partitioned tray.
Vertical hydroponic growing system and method
Systems and methods for vertical hydroponic growing of plants within an optional enclosure, in particular utilizing liquid nutrigation and/or solid nutrient medium/supplements in combination with vertically configured arrays of interchangeable grow cups to produce near year-round ideal plant growing conditions.
Modular planting tray and vertical wall planting system
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.
PANEL-MODULAR LAYERED WALL SYSTEM FOR SHAPING SPATIAL STRUCTURES
The panel-modular layered wall system for shaping spatial structures is characterised by the fact that: the arrangement of horizontal layers configured by means of joined sideways panels of various shapes, filled with the substrate, whose surfaces are planted with plants according to the principle of bipolarity, preferably using transparent or opaque panels, which are mounted on cantilevers with a variable supporting angle, always forms the horizontal arrangement of panels, placed a maximum of three (when with plants and more when without) on the flat or bent frame of the module in the shape of a rhombus, a rectangle and a trapezium made of a closed profile with a rectangular cross-section, where the frames of modules joined together along the perimeter by means of couplers form the vertical load-bearing frame, sloping load-bearing frame, arched-barrel load-bearing frame, spherical load-bearing frame, cylindrical load-bearing frame and sloping cylindrical load-bearing frame, which, together with the use of silos filled with the substrate, joining individual panels and layers, forms self-supporting layered wall structures in six variants, which can be configured with each other.
Flexible layered sheet
A flexible layered fabric sheet comprising a porous front layer and a pre-seeded substrate layer, where the seeds are in-between the two layers (rather than at the back of the substrate layer), for supporting root growth, the two layers together having an upper and lower edge and being attached together with one or more non-continuous seams between the upper and lower edges, which seams have a component of direction parallel to the upper and/or lower edge, and wherein the non-continuous seams enable water to exit the layered fabric sheet at its lower edge, and the non-continuous seams further serve to slow water flow through the water sheet. The seams also serve to keep the two layers from separating which would hamper the penetration of the sapling through the front porous layer, and thus stunt growth.
Growing system
A growing system and/or plant support structure may include one or more feet supporting at least one or more uprights, on which a plurality of plants and/or grow boards for growing plants may be positioned. A nutrient delivery system may be positioned between opposing uprights to provide nutrient supply to a root zone of plants, which nutrient delivery system may be positioned adjacent each opposing upright in an interior chamber of the plant support structure. A light system may be positioned between two adjacent plant support structures such that it simultaneously provides light to the exterior surface of the two plant support structures. A collapsible light may be positioned adjacent plants and plant support structures for improved access to the plants or plant support structures while allowing variable and controllable light distribution beneficial to control of adjacent plants and plant structures.
PLANTING CONTAINER UNIT AND GREENING METHOD USING SAME
A container unit for greening of wall surface and greening method using container unit. The planting container unit has an outer container having an upper-surface and a front-surface opening, an inner container that can be inserted into the front-surface opening of the outer container, and a fixing plate where the inner container is fixed to the outer container. The inner container is capable of housing a planting base, incudes a front-surface opening where a plant body part of the pot plant can be exposed to an outside, and includes an upper-surface opening for housing the planting base and the pot plant. The inner container has, on a front surface having the front-surface opening, a front-surface flange that engages with a wall of the outer container around the front-surface opening. The planting container unit is configured such that the inner container is removably housed inside the outer container.
GREENABLE WALL ELEMENT
A greenable wall element with at least one wall component oriented in the vertical direction or in the diagonal direction. The wall component delimits a cavity of the wall element is fillable with planting substrate, and has a multiplicity of plant openings through which plants rooting in the plant substrate can grow onto the side of the wall element directed away from the plant substrate. The at least one wall component has, at least in a subregion, a slatted grating formed from crossing groups of bars, of which a first group of spaced-apart parallel bars is oriented in the vertical or diagonal direction and of which a second group of spaced-apart parallel bars is oriented in the horizontal direction, and the plant openings are each bounded by adjacent horizontal and vertical or diagonal bars.
ABSORBENT ECOLOGICAL FABRIC
An absorbent ecological fabric is provided, including: at least one first fiber element, each of the at least one first fiber element being absorbent and elongate, each of the at least one first fiber element being woven by a plurality of filaments. The absorbent ecological fabric can provide a large region for plants to attach and climb.
