A modular assembly comprising at least one holder, base-unit having at least one hollow opening on at least one end and further comprising at least one adapter-unit; wherein said adapter-unit plugs securely into the hollow opening of said holder, base-unit; and wherein said holder, base-unit and said at least one adapter-unit may be interchanged and combined with alternate holder, base-units and adapter-units to form a variety of cohesive, convertible assemblies which function as a vase, a plant stand, a candle holder and/or a caddy for various articles.

Embodiments of the disclosed technology are directed to devices and/or apparatuses for receiving, housing and displaying plants on surfaces having a repetitive pattern of elevation changes resulting in multiple horizontal planar surfaces of varying elevation. The apparatus may be, for example, a caddy adapted to conform to the staggered pattern of one or more steps, curbs, ledges, and/or walls. The caddy may be further adapted to receive and store, at an angle between 0 degrees and 90 degrees, an elongated planter. In further embodiments, a self-contained planter may be disclosed. The planter may be adapted for receiving soil, planting substrate and/or plants. The self-contained planter may have a base region adapted to conform to the staggered pattern of one or more stepped surfaces.

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.

The invention disclosed herein is directed to a table and tray assembly that can be used for housing plants. The table can be constructed with optional legs. The legs can be foldable and/or removable. The table has a frame that extends the perimeter of the table. The frame has a top flange that is configured to secure a tray in the table. The table has corner brackets that are configured to allow a first table to be securely stacked on a second table. The brackets have a lower vertical flange that engages with an upper flange of a second bracket in stacked form. The tray has a fluid trap and at least one flow channel extending from the fluid trap. The fluid trap has a connection member that can connect the tray to an external fluid source via tubing. The fluid trap can also have an insertable debris trap.

A fixing structure for collecting and assembling flower, especially used for collecting and placing potted plants such as potted orchids, includes a rectangular flower holder main body and a height elevating rack used for allowing a height of the flower holder main body to be elevated, at least one set of two rows of position limiting members arranged in a pairing means are disposed in the flower holder main body; each position limiting member arranged at two sides of the flower holder main body has a concave arc-shaped abutting surface formed at an inner side thereof, and two adjacent surface of the other position limiting members are respectively formed with a concave arc-shaped abutting surface, so that an accommodating slot zone can be defined by each set of the four corresponding concave arc-shaped abutting surfaces, thereby enabling potted plants to be formed as a bonsai.

A flower bed system includes an elongated frame having a first side bar and second side bar in a longitudinal direction thereof, a first and a second riser removably attached to the first and second side bar, respectively, the first riser having a first notch away from the first side bar by a predetermined distance and the second riser having a second notch away from the second side bar by approximately the same predetermined distance, and a flowerpot holder having a first and second pin rigidly protruding from opposite sides thereof, respectively, the first and the second pin being substantially aligned in an axial line transverse a center of the flowerpot holder, wherein the first and second pin removably rest in the first and second notch, respectively, so that the flowerpot holder can rotate freely around the axial line.

A pot stand is provided that is capable of being simply used, receiving drained water without causing water leakage, reducing manufacturing cost and enables easy disposition of the drained water. The pot stand includes a main body, a water reservoir and a load receiving part. The main body includes an upper surface part that has a drain hole, a side surface part that supports the upper surface part and has a space opened upwardly, and a bottom surface part that is connected to the side surface part. The pot stand further includes an opening that is formed in a part of the side surface part and ribs that are provided in an inner side of the main body. The water reservoir is slidably movable through the opening to be taken in or out from the space. The load receiving part is a standing wall-like shaped and extends from the bottom surface part in the space.

A width-adjustable support stand has two leg pairs, each composed of two legs interconnected by a length-adjustable cross-rail. Each cross-rail features a pair of rail stubs that are attached to inner sides of the two legs and are telescopically received in hollow cavities of a rail hub at opposing ends thereof. Each rail stub has a pair of slide guides engaged with corresponding slide guides on opposing internal walls of the respective hollow cavity, and also has upper and lower tongues riding in top and bottom slots of the rail hub between in-turned flanges thereof. To lock each leg pair at user-selected width, a lock slot in each rail stub is penetrated by a lock fastener that engages opposing sidewalls of the rail hub on opposite sides of the rail stub, so that tightening of the fastener clamps the rail stub firmly between the sidewalls of the rail hub.
