A plant growth medium is provided, applicable to grow a plant. The plant growth medium includes a pre-medium cultivated with the plant and a post-medium. The post-medium includes a bottom wall, a surrounding wall extending upward from an outer edge of the bottom wall, and an accommodating space defined jointly by the bottom wall and the surrounding wall, where the pre-medium is accommodated in the accommodating space, and the post-medium is used to provide a growth environment for the plant.

A plant cultivating apparatus according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes a main body, a shelf, and a cultivation container. The cultivation container has a medium formed therein and is supplied with water from the shelf. Specifically, the main body has a cultivation space of a predetermined size formed therein. The shelf is configured to supply and discharge water to and from the cultivation space. The cultivation container is placed to be supported on the shelf, and configured to receive or discharge water from or to the shelf. The cultivation container includes a water flow guide protruding downward from a bottom surface of the cultivation container and having an opening formed at the protruded lower end, and a wick accommodated inside the water flow guide and configured to absorb and hold water introduced through the opening.

A synthetic soil substrate system has a plurality of synthetic soil substrate layers that are individually designed to promote plant growth as the roots grow into the layer and as a function of the growth stage. The synthetic soil substrate layers may be planar or may be concentrically arranged with a first synthetic soil substrate ring layer being configured inside of a second synthetic soil substrate ring layer. A synthetic soil substrate has pores that are configured for plant growth and retention and/or deliver of water and growth additives. The average pore size of a first synthetic soil substrate layer may be substantially different from the average pore size of an adjacent synthetic soil substrate layer. Also, the pore structure or shape of the pores may be different between synthetic soil substrate layers, The synthetic soil substrate may have an integral growth additive retained in the pores.
