The application provides methods and systems for cultivating plants, more particularly plants with aerial roots. The methods and systems are provided with one or more features which facilitate the cultivation of such plants. More particularly the application provides a system comprising a cultivation tray and vases fitting therein, whereby each of the vases comprise one or more ridges on the inner wall of said vase.

A plant-growing system can include a reservoir system and at least one pod. The reservoir system can include a base configured to hold a liquid and a top plate comprising at least one pod holder, where the top plate can be supported by the base. The at least one pod can be configured to be removably inserted in the at least one pod holder. The at least one pod can include a support plate, a wick comprising a first end and a second end, and a seed pad, where the wick can be positioned between the support plate and the seed pad.

A method for producing, without the help of a substrate, a plurality of rooted cuttings includes inserting at least one unrooted cutting into pockets arranged successively in a longitudinal direction of a strip element. Each pocket has an opening at a top side facing a transverse direction and a bottom side that is at least partially closed. The strip element is formed at least in part of biodegradable material having a liquid retaining capacity of at least about 100 g liquid per 100 g of biodegradable material dry weight. The strip element has first and second wall-forming members fixed to each other in a spacer area adjacent each pocket and arranged to at least partly overlap in the longitudinal direction and to not fully overlap in the transverse direction. The first wall-forming member extends past the second wall-forming member in the transverse direction at the top side of each pocket.

A plant container according to the present invention comprises: a container having a cultivation space therein and having an open upper surface; a guide cover covering the open upper surface of the container and having a plurality of guide openings spaced apart from each other; a medium arranged inside the container and having a plurality of seating openings provided in a number corresponding to the plurality of guide openings; and an input cover covering the upper side of the guide cover and having at least one input opening corresponding to at least one of the plurality of guide openings, wherein the at least one input opening, the one of the plurality of guide openings, and one of the plurality of seating openings are arranged in the vertical direction with respect to one center line.

Variable-scale, modular, easily manufacturable, energy efficient, reliable, and computer-operated farming superstructure systems (FSS) may be used to produce Cannabis for human consumption with minimal water and environmental impact. A FSS system may comprise modules including liquid distribution and plant growing. A FSS may be configured to be constructed out of a plurality of containerized modules.

A tray for a vertical growing system for growing plants having opposed first and second side walls, a first open end and second open end opposed to the first end defining a perimeter of the tray; and a raised region disposed within the perimeter of the tray wherein at least one side wall is configured with a downward sloping outer face to direct fluid from the tray to an adjacent gutter. The tray forms one side of an enclosed plenum which directs forced air to growing mediums supported by each tray via holes formed in each tray. A bottom side of the tray includes ribs and valleys exposed to an interior of the plenum where such ribs and valleys contribute to substantially constant air velocities emanating from each hole in each tray along an entire length of the plenum.

A stackable raising seedling device has a device body and a floating planting board. The device body has raising seeding hole parts disposed at intervals and holes disposed intervals. The raising seeding hole pans and the holes are staggered in parallel and with each other along a first direction, the raising seeding hole part and the holes are staggered in parallel with each other along a second direction, and the holes of the first direction and the raising seeding hole parts of the second direction are adjacently arranged. The raising seeding hole pan can receive a culture medium layer, the culture medium layer has an agar gel, and the agar gel is composed of a plant growth nutrient, agar powder and water. The present disclosure improves the overall seed germination rate and the quality of planted crops when massively planting the planted crops.

A compound motion soil blocker that uses mechanical advantage to reduce the force required to manually produce soil blocks. The blocker includes a primary structural frame, a control frame, an ejection arm set and a handle arm set. The soil blocker includes a toggle mechanism set coupling together the handle arm set and the ejection arm set to create a mechanical advantage such that the application of a minimal amount of manual pressure on the handle arm generates substantially more pressure on the ejection arm. The ejection arm is pinned to a compression structure including one or more plungers that are arranged to compress soil in a grid into soil blocks.

The disclosure relates to a stackable grow box and a modular grow box system. The stackable grow box (10) comprising an upper part (20), a middle part (30) and a lower part (40), wherein the lower part (40) comprises a tray to carry plants or insects to be grown in the box, the middle part (30) interlinking the upper part (20) and the lower part (40). The upper part (20) and the lower part (40) comprise corresponding fluid coupling means configured to provide an automatic fluid coupling when an upper grow box (10) is arranged on top of a lower grow box (10). The box further comprises fluid handling means configured to dispense fluid received from the fluid coupling means of the upper part (20) to the plants or insects in the tray and for collecting excess fluid from the tray and passing it to the fluid coupling means of the lower part (40).
