One embodiment of the present invention is a seedling container having seedling compartment(s). Frangible tear-off strip(s) divide seedling compartment(s) into top portion(s) and bottom portion(s). Pulling on pull tab(s) of frangible strip(s) permits removal of frangible strip(s) from seedling compartment(s) so as to permit bottom portion(s) to be conveniently removed from top portion(s). Seedling plug(s) retained by rim-like top portion(s) may thus be conveniently transplanted without creating excessive mess or damage to seedling(s).

Generally described, a growing container for a vertical rack system includes an inner container portion with a plurality of inlet perforations across a sidewall, an opening for plant growth, and a base panel with a plurality of outlet perforations. An outer container portion is configured to at least partially surround the inner container portion, and having a fluid inlet port and a fluid drain port. An upper seal and a lower seal are disposed between the inner container portion and the outer container portion on either side of the plurality of inlet perforations to allow a fluid from the fluid inlet port to cover the plurality of inlet perforations at any tilt angle of the growing container. The fluid drain port allows excess fluid drainage. A racking handle protrudes from the outer container portion with an internal angle corresponding to the tilt angle when coupled to a vertical rack system.

The present invention relates to a container in which one or more plants can be held. The invention relates in particular to a container in which plants and/or seeds are able to grow. The invention also relates to a method for growing plants. According to the invention, the container comprises a container base having a growth medium in which one or more plants can be grown, a container lid that is coupled to the container base, and a cutting member for cutting through the one or more plants. According to the invention, the cutting member can be actuated prior to or during an action of at least substantially breaking the coupling between the container lid and the container base.

A container, including a number of angle elements. Each angle element includes a) a horizontal puzzle member including a male knob at one end and a female lock at the other end; and, b) a vertical member including a vertically extending male adjunct at one end thereof and a vertically extending female adjunct at the other end thereof, the vertical member being integrally orthogonally connected to the horizontal puzzle member. The angle elements are configurable, i.e. can be assembled, to form a container by: engagement of the male knobs of the plurality of angle elements with female locks of adjacent angle elements; and, engagement of the vertically extending male adjuncts of the angle elements with female adjuncts of adjacent angle elements. The container may include corner angle elements and additional types of angle elements such as intermediate angle elements, curved angle applications, L-shaped angle elements, etc.

Divided jardiniére suspension and/or watering systems for vandaceous orchids. In some embodiments, the system may comprise two receptacle pieces that may be coupled together to define a complete receptacle for a vandaceous orchid. Some embodiments may further comprise one or more watering elements, such as a watering manifold that may deliver water through one or more outtake ports through water delivery members that may extend from the watering manifold and be wrapped around the roots of the vandaceous orchid to deliver water and/or nutrients continuously via capillary action.

Provided herein is a computer-implemented method of managing plant data. The method includes storing first plant data on a user device connected to a server. The first plant data relates to growth of a plant in a first grower device. The method also includes collecting second plant data related to growth of the plant in a second grower device. The second grower device is for growth of the plant moved from the first grower device. The second plant data is collected by the second grower device. The method also includes transferring the first plant data and the second plant data to the server. The method also includes displaying the first plant data and the second plant data on the user device.

A top cover system includes a bag including a growing medium wherein a top side of the bag includes an opening to access the growing medium for growing at least one of a seed and plant, and a top cover including an opening for placement upon the top side of the bag wherein a perimeter and an area of the opening of the top cover is smaller than a perimeter and an area of the opening of the top side of the bag and a perimeter and an area of the top cover is larger than a perimeter and an area of the top side of the bag such that when the top cover is placed upon the top side of the bag, the top side of the bag and a portion of the opening of the top side of the bag cannot be seen and the opening of the top cover includes access to the growing medium for growing the at least one of a seed and plant.

An irrigation apparatus for dispersing liquid through a plant growing medium is disclosed. The apparatus includes a container. The container has an outer wall with an inner surface, an open top, and a base portion configured to cover the plant growing medium. The base portion is configured with a plurality of holes for receiving liquid therethrough. The plurality of holes are configured as raised shields to block light and receive air, water, and nutrients. The container is configured with at least one center opening therethrough having an inner wall for receiving a plant. The center opening has at least one longitudinal opening extending therefrom to outer wall to allow placement of container on plant or to allow removal of container from plant. The container is configured with a plurality of stakes extending therefrom the base portion for providing stability for apparatus to be secured in plant growing medium.

An irrigation apparatus for dispersing liquid through a plant growing medium is disclosed. The apparatus includes a geometrically shaped container of variable size. The container has an outer wall with an inner surface, an open top, and a base portion configured to cover the plant growing medium. The base portion is configured with a plurality of holes for receiving liquid therethrough. The plurality of holes are configured as raised half-circles to block light and receive air, water, and nutrients. The container is configured with at least one center opening therethrough having an inner wall for receiving a plant. The center opening has at least one longitudinal opening extending therefrom to outer wall to allow placement of container on plant or to allow removal of container from plant. The container is configured with a plurality of geometrically shaped stakes of variable size extending therefrom the base portion for providing stability for apparatus to be secured in plant growing medium.

A fixing structure for a flower combination contains: a container and a flower pot. The container includes a conical groove, and a diameter of a top of the conical groove is more than a diameter of a bottom of the conical groove. The conical groove has multiple arcuately concaved trenches and multiple arcuate slots. A respective arcuately concaved trench and a respective arcuate slot are conical, a diameter of a top of the respective arcuately concaved trench is more than a diameter of a bottom of the respective arcuately concaved trench, and a diameter of a top of the respective arcuate slot is more than a diameter of a bottom of the respective arcuate slot, such that an accommodation zone is defined by the multiple arcuately concaved trenches of the conical groove and the multiple arcuate slots so as to receive the flower combination.
