A plant container may include a vertical wall surrounding a plant receiving recess and having vertically aligned slot sets. The plant container may have a bottom including a panel, and panel tabs extending from a periphery of the panel. The panel tabs are to be received by a lowermost vertically aligned slot set. The plant container may include a ring having ring tabs on an inner radial edge, and the ring tabs may be received by a respective vertically aligned slot set.

A seedling nursery member for grafting according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes at least one seedling nursery unit. At least one seedling nursery unit includes a seed storage section configured to store a seed of a plant and have a space for the plant to germinate, a stem storage section configured to store a stem of the plant that has germinated and elongated, and a stem holder configured to hold the elongated stem of the plant. At least a portion of the seed storage section of at least one seedling nursery unit is configured to be openable to the outside of at least one seedling nursery unit. At least a portion of the stem storage section of at least one seedling nursery unit is configured to be openable to the outside of at least one seedling nursery unit.

The object of the invention is a plant cultivation container, wherein the plants do not need to be transplanted during cultivation or growth. The container is provided with pull-out trays and this allows continuous adaptation of the container volume to the growth and development of the root system. The container of the invention provides for continuous oxygen and air supply to the root system and for development of fibrous roots contrary to root spiralisation which is typical of conventional containers. The pull-out tray has several functions: partitioning of container volume to compartments, retaining of excess water while watering, and as a drip tray when the entire container volume is in use. The walls of the container are provided with slits at various heights which in conjunction with several pull-out trays partition the entire volume of the container along its height to several compartments. The slits are dimensioned in a way to adapt to the thickness and the height of the pull-out tray side walls and the pull-out tray bottom when the pull-out trays are inserted into the slits. The pull-out trays are simply insertable into and removable from the slits and this is why the container volume can simply be adapted to the growth and development of the root system.

A plant growing structure (100) designed to enhance the root quality, quantity, and architecture of plants grown in plant containers or in the ground is constructed from a plurality of support walls (200). The plant growing structure (100) enhances air circulation to the plant root system (20) to increase root growth and plant productivity. Channels (230) within the support walls (200) are designed with physical structures and materials that be adapted to address issues with aeration, infiltration, drainage, soil structure, root growth, plant nutrient uptake, plant pests and diseases, growing medium moisture, and growing medium microbial content. A liquid permeable drain platform (900) controls the amount and duration of water storage in the growing medium (50). The liquid permeable drain platform (900) may be used as a standalone device or in conjunction with the plant growing structure (100).

A gas permeable flowerpot (100), comprising: a tray (10), a flowerpot body (30), and a bottom plate (50). The tray (10) comprises an accommodating trough (10A) for accumulating water; the flowerpot body (30) is filled with soil; the flowerpot body (30) is provided with a plurality of stacked hollow subunits (32); the soil in each hollow subunit (32) is gas permeable; the bottom plate (50) is made of a micro-porous water absorbing material and comprises a water permeable plate (51) and a water absorbing column (52) which extends downwardly out from the water permeable plate (51); the soil is in contact with the water permeable plate (51), and the water absorbing column (52) extends into the accommodating trough (10A). Because of the water permeability of the water permeable plate (51), excessive water can flow through the water permeable plate (51) into the tray (10) to prevent roots from being eroded by water. In addition, the water absorbing column (52) extends into the tray (10) to upwardly absorb and continuously supplement the soil and roots with moisture.

A planter having multiple growth chambers accessible by the root system of a plant disposed therein via the removal of one or more dividers and a method of use therefor is provided. The planter may further include a drainage system to remove excess water from the soil while keeping separate volumes of soil dry until being utilized by the plant being grown therein.

A container for potting pre-planted objects is provided. The container provides a manipulable container adapted to receive objects by way of either vertical or horizontal insertion or deposit into the container's interior volume. The container may include a container body having an open top end, an open bottom end, and a break extending from the top end to the bottom end. The container may include a fastener transitionable between a disengaged configuration and an engaged configuration to transition the container between an open configuration and closed configuration. The width of the break may be adjusted when the fastener is in a disengaged configuration to permit horizontal insertion or deposit of objects through the break and into the container's interior volume.

A potting system and method are provided in which a flexible pot side includes two sets of bottom panel apertures, each set receiving tabs from a bottom panel. The potting system is assembled by positioning mutually engaging panel mesh structures on the bottom panels while folding the flexible pot side so that a plurality of first lacing apertures aligns with a plurality of second lacing apertures, and then inserting a pull lace through the aligned apertures to mechanically interlock them. Additionally, the pot system may be easily disassembled by disengaging the pull lace from the lacing apertures which causes the pot side to unbend and allows the bottom panel tabs to disengage. The pot system may then be reassembled by reengaging the bottom panels, repositioning the lacing apertures and inserting the pull lace.

The pull-out tray has several functions: partitioning of container volume to compartments, retaining of excess water while watering, and as a drip tray when the entire container volume is in use. The walls of the container are provided with notches at various heights which in conjunction with several pull-out trays partition the entire volume of the container along its height to several compartments. The notches are sized in a way to adapt to the thickness and height of the side walls and the bottom of a pull-out tray when the trays are inserted into the notches. The pull-out trays are simply insertable into and removable from the notches and this is why the container volume can simply be adapted to the growth and development of the root system.

A system and method are provided for the indoor and outdoor cultivation of larger fruiting plants. Improved lighting techniques, plant layouts, and space utilization are provided to improve the quality and yields of harvested products from large fruiting plants on a per plant and unit area basis. The uniformity of artificial light is improved from the top to the bottom of tall plants and vines, and overcome the lack of light penetration through the canopy of the plant by changing the orientation of lights from a horizontal to vertical alignment along the side of the plant verses over the top of the canopy, as well as increasing the number of light sources to reduce shading. Plants are trained to grow in specific directions and orientations in a grid system to enable an optimal and uniform light distribution and to improve space utilization in a given growing area.
