In order to support a plant in a bucket that has a top and outside rim, a trellis base having a base surface portion and a rim engagement portion is disclosed. These portions seat on the top and outside rim of the bucket and extend around and beneath the top and outside rim of the bucket. A bottom portion of a further extension wall carries a hold down means which when positioned beneath the top and outside rim of the bucket, anchors the trellis base on the bucket. An inward bias means to inwardly bias and maintain the hold down means in position can also be used. The base surface portion carries at least one removable upright trellis holding means to removably carry the plant trellis.

A height-adjustable plant support structure is a device used for providing structural support for a growing plant. The device includes a primary stabilizing tubular member and a plurality of primary extendable tubular members that is able to telescopically extend from and retract into the primary stabilizing tubular member. A plurality of accessory-mounting holes laterally traverses into the plurality of primary extendable tubular members and may accommodate hooks, ties, strings, and other accessories for supporting the growth of a plant. A flexible water-distribution conduit is positioned within the plurality of primary extendable tubular members, allowing water to be delivered directly to a plant's roots. The device height may be adjusted manually or automatically via a pneumatic telescopic cylinder. At least one flexible trellis member is utilized to support growing plants such as shrubs, grapevine, ivy, and climbing roses.

In one series of embodiments there is provided a bracing member for a plant support frame. In embodiments the bracing member comprises a body portion defining a perimeter; an opening provided within the body portion which is sized and dimensioned to receive a plant there through; and a plurality of radially oriented circumferential holes extending through the body portion. The holes being sized to accept a cooperating fastener for securing a support rod to the bracing member for forming the plant support frame. The different bracing members of a plant support frame are dimensioned for storage in a flat concentric arrangement whereby the circumferential holes of an inner bracing member align with the circumferential holes of an outer bracing member for receiving a locking pin there through for securing different bracing members together.

A plant-protecting pot device is provided. The device is comprised of a plant-protecting pot device comprised of a pot that can be used to store a plant. The pot is comprised of a rim comprised of at least one fastener. At least one base of the device is comprised of at least one barrier that is generally conical. The base is comprised of at least one fastener that can be attached to the fastener of the rim. As a result, the barrier surrounds a plant within the pot while the plant grows. The barrier protects the plant from animals, weather, and other damage.

This invention is a plant support and growth directing apparatus to enhance growth of a plant and increase product production from the plant by increasing air and light to a plant's canopy. The apparatus has at least one post and at least one crown attached thereto. At least one of the crowns has a plurality of spaces or openings sized and configured to receive and support branches of a plant to define a user desired growing pattern of the plant. In one configuration, the spaces are interstitial between coils of a coiled member, such as a spring, that is attached to or part of the crown. The crown may also be surfaced with an abrasive material such as a sand or polymer grit thereby more effectively holding the plant in place and providing a means to abrade or stress the plant to stimulate a growth response.

A kit for providing stem, branch and foliage support for a planting. The kit includes a plurality of hoop shaped components, each exhibiting an open interior adapted to support and constrain therebetween the planting. The components each further exhibit a plurality of vertically extending and elongated tier defining portions arranged in perimeter defined fashion about the component, with an intermediate location of each of an individual plurality of said tier defining portions being integrated into each of the hoop components. Each of the elongated tier defining portions further has upper and lower inter-engaging locations and, upon supporting a lower-most hoop shaped component proximate a base of the planting, allowing for stacking of any additional number of said hoop shaped components in vertically spaced apart and tiered defining fashion.

In order to support a plant in a bucket that has a top and outside rim, a trellis base having a base surface portion and a rim engagement portion is disclosed. These portions seat on the top and outside rim of the bucket and extend around and beneath the top and outside rim of the bucket. A bottom portion of a further extension wall carries a hold down means which when positioned beneath the top and outside rim of the bucket, anchors the trellis base on the bucket. An inward bias means to inwardly bias and maintain the hold down means in position can also be used. The base surface portion carries at least one removable upright trellis holding means to removably carry the plant trellis.

In embodiments there is disclosed a modular pole for horticultural and agricultural use, pole sections and connector pins for use to assemble the pole, and methods for assembling the pole. In embodiments a connector pin is inserted into end sockets in opposed pole section ends and in embodiments the ends are held onto the connector pin by a fastener which may comprise a clip or a threaded sleeve.

Examples of the present disclosure are related to systems and methods to redirect vertical growth of flowering plants. In embodiments, a portable growing system may redirect vertical growth of plants in a late vegetative stage and in an early flower stage. This may allow lower budding sites positioned within the portable growing system to receive substantially the same amount of light as higher budding sites positioned within the portable growing system.

An in-ground plant container with watering-well that is open at both ends and is functional and decorative. The above-ground portion of this present embodiment has a circular watering-well bowl that is surrounded by a removal-able twist-ring rim that is both functional and decorative. The twist-ring along with several aspects of this embodiment work together to keep the plant container's watering-well bowl above ground-level.

The bottom, below-ground portion, has vertical fins to prevent lateral rotation of plant container from repeated twist-ring removal and re-attachment; and two attached horizontal flanges also help to prevent upward and downward movement.

The non-organic watering-well bowl replaces the organic soil-watering-well. This in-ground plant container with watering-well is for conserving water, and the containment of water contaminated by pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
