Systems and methods for a mounting assembly in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment a mounting assembly includes a first mounting piece having a base portion and a first protruding portion. The embodiment may further include an interchangeable mounting piece having a second protruding portion such that the interchangeable mounting piece is configured slide inside the first protruding portion of the first mounting piece. The embodiment may further include pin member may be configured to be inserted in the first pair of apertures and the second pair of apertures when the first mounting piece and the interchangeable mounting piece are in a mated position. The embodiment may further include a second interchangeable mounting piece configured to be replaceable with the interchangeable mounting piece.

A top item holder is configured to be placed on top of a screen. The top item holder includes an anti-tilt device, at least one slider, a slide rail and at least one holder unit. The anti-tilt device is for preventing the top item holder from being relatively tilting with respect to the screen. The slide rail is disposed at a top of the anti-tilt device. The slider is slidably disposed on the slide rail and can slide in a sliding direction within a sliding travel. The holder unit is disposed on the slider. Thereby, top space of the screen can be effectively utilized, and relocation of the holder unit becomes more convenient.

Display clips are disclosed that may include a front plant-receiving upper hoop and a lower support base for supporting the plant or other article. The display clips also include rear first and second opposing spring clamps that allow the display clips to be removably mounted on railings between adjacent spindles. The first and second opposing spring clamps and at least one of the upper hoop and the lower support base may be made of a single piece of rod. For installation, the first and second opposing spring clamps may be drawn together to elastically deform the display clip to allow the opposing spring clamps to fit between the adjacent spindles. Once between the spindles, the opposed spring clamps can be released to spring back to engage the spindles in order to secure the display clip on the railing. The opposing spring clamps may have resilient bumpers mounted thereon to cushion and help hold the display clip on the railing spindles.

A decorative pot may be filled with soil and decorative plants and hung at a non-perpendicular angle on the side of a larger pot. By hanging at an angle, the decorative plants within the decorative pot are displayed outwards to a viewer, and also serve to obscure both the decorative pot itself as well as some or all of the larger pot, such as the sidewall and rim. Displaying decorative plants and obscuring the sidewall and rim of the larger pot reduces the need to select the larger pot based upon factors such as material, quality, and design, which can all greatly influence the cost of the larger pot. The particular angle of display can be adjusted by providing adjustable or variably sized hangers and spacers.

Growing systems including double-walled growing devices, and methods of making and using the same are provided. Growing devices include two sheets of material, a sprouting layer and a rooting layer, strategically bonded together to form containers for growing plants. Each container includes openings in the layers to allow the plants to grow out of their containers and to allow roots to access water through the rooting layer. The two layers can be formed into a cylinder where the center of the cylinder provides a channel for watering such that the roots grow into that channel. Deployed as a flat sheet of containers, the device can include a third layer to provide a water channel between the rooting layer and the third layer. Growing systems include the device and can also include a system to provide water thereto, and an enclosure around the device for providing an overpressure.

A flower pot support assembly includes a rectangular panel defining a few windows. The support is engaged and retained into a corresponding panel window via lateral flange grooves. An arcuate seat is made integral to the panel window periphery and abuttingly cooperates with a corresponding flower pot support and associated window edge sloping ramps for flower pot support sliding and tilting engagement within the panel window, all in such a way as to releasably lock the flower pot support in nesting condition inside the panel window with the support member mouth facing upwardly.

A hanger assembly includes a first decorative element and a mounting base. The decorative element has a first surface and a first elongated mounting plate joined thereto in a plane perpendicular to the first surface. The base has a rear surface fastenable to a vertical surface, a first sidewall, and a front surface within which is formed a recessed slot having a substantially T-shaped cross-section. The recessed slot extends from an open end in the first sidewall to a fixed stop formed in the mounting base and slidably receives the mounting plate. The mounting base may be used with a variety of interchangeable multi-themed decorations or plant hangers.

An adjustable holding mechanism is disclosed. The holding mechanism comprises of a retention portion having a first arm and a second arm. The second arm has a jaw coupling that is configured to secure the retention portion. The holding mechanism further has a platform, having a support bracket that is slidably connected to the first arm. The holding mechanism further has a movable tray that is coupled to the platform. The movable tray comprises of a plurality of telescopic poles that are configured to retract or extend the movable tray. Further, a seating surface installed over the plurality of telescopic poles, via one or more resting slots to secure the seating surface over the plurality of telescopic poles. The movable tray further has a plurality of cross beams that are configured to secure the movable tray within the support bracket.

A plant holder has a basket formed from a base and a peripheral sidewall around the base. A support arm extends upward from the base at a flat region of the sidewall. A hook at the distal end of the support arm may be inserted into a hole in a vertical surface such as a wall. The basket is then suspended from the support arm and the flat region of the sidewall abuts and is flush with the vertical surface. The support arm may be angled slightly inward toward the center of the basket in order to provide additional force holding the plant holder against the vertical surface it is suspended from.

A column grip that supports objects by friction grip to smooth surfaces, particularly columns on a railing system. The column grip comprises a cam assembly that actuates about a main axis to fit between columns located on deck, stairway or hallway railing. A compression spring provides a driving force to secure outer surfaces of the invention against the columns. When supporting heavy objects, its parrot beak design provides mechanical advantage proportionate to an objects weight, by pushing its outer surfaces harder against opposing columns and creating additional friction against opposing columns. A broad range of accessories, including a shelf, hook, gardening accessories, deck light, light sources, decoration, flag holder, and the like attaches to the embodiment. For example, a deck light attached to this invention that not only improve the aesthetic appeal of a deck, but also illuminates its surrounding area and enhance safety.
