A plant transportation system includes a vase and a sealant receptacle. The vase includes a mouth, a throat, and a reservoir. The sealant receptacle is housed in the throat. The sealant receptacle is configured to allow a defined amount of stems therethrough, and includes a cover extending across the throat, a base extending across the throat behind the cover, and a sidewall extending behind the cover to the base. The cover defines at least one cover-side stem aperture, the base defines at least one base-side stem aperture, and the sidewall closes the sealant receptacle from the side. The at least one cover-side stem aperture is similarly sized to the defined amount of stems, and the at least one base-side stem aperture is similarly sized to the defined amount of stems.

A display vase adapted to hold a variety of longitudinal stems or sticks, the vase including a retainer mountable within the transparent vase that can hold a multitude of display items. The retainer may sit on a shelf or retaining ring inside the vase. The retainer may include an array of hexagonally shaped cells that may interlock with a lower level of interlocking cells. Also included is a method of arranging and displaying stemmed items in a vase. A retainer is set in a vase and stems are secured therethrough, preferably into a frog apparatus at bottom of vase.

An apparatus for positioning flowers within a vase comprises a first hollow hemispherical shell extending to a first hemispherical edge having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough, the shell formed of a plurality of members extending between each of the apertures having a smooth substantially circular cross section and a second hollow hemispherical shell extending to a second hemispherical edge having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough, the shell formed of a plurality of members extending between each of the apertures having a smooth substantially circular cross section. The first and second hollow hemispherical shells are matable to each other along a parting line formed by connecting the first and second hemispherical edges.

A self watering bottle planter insert allows a regular bottle to be transformed into a hydroponic planter. The self watering bottle planter insert is insertable into a bottle and removes the need for a separate source of nutrients. The planter uses composite media with an enriched substrate layered beneath a more standard hydroponic growth media to add nutrients to the water for the life cycle of the plant. Also provided is a substrate assembly for use in a bottle planter assembly.
