A greenwall cladding system for the growth of organisms such as plants and fungi on the side of structures, such as internal and external walls of buildings, is provided. Methods for the production of organisms on a greenwall cladding system, such as plants and fungi are also provided herein.

A planting apparatus is disclosed. The planting apparatus includes: a main vertical member connectable to a planting pot, wherein the vertical member is cylindrical-shaped and includes a plurality of openings along a cylindrical-surface thereof. Embodiments of the planting apparatus include a planting pot having a base having conical frustum-shaped walls and a base surface, wherein the base includes interior annular walls for receiving an end of the main vertical member.

A gravity-driven plant cultivation system includes: (a) a frame; (b) a plurality of stacked conveyor assemblies mounted to the frame, each conveyor assembly including at least one gravity conveyor extending along a sloped conveyor axis; and (c) a plurality of plant cultivation trays rollingly supported on each gravity conveyor and urged to translate along a corresponding conveyor axis via gravitational force. Each tray includes: (i) a tray body having at least one underside surface parallel and in engagement with the gravity conveyor for supporting the tray thereon; (ii) a plurality of plant cavities in the tray body for holding plants; and (iii) a nutrient chamber internal the tray body for holding plant nutrient solution for the plants. The nutrient chamber is bounded from below by a nutrient chamber bottom wall lying in a horizontal plane for maintaining a constant depth of the plant nutrient solution.

An air purifier includes a first pot; a second pot and a fan suitable for creating an air flow between the inside and outside of the air purifier. The second pot which is provided with a bottom and is housed inside the first pot in which the lateral walls of the second pot are formed by a plurality of ribs which extend in the vertical direction of the pot and in which adjacent ribs are arranged essentially parallel to each other, creating slots between them essentially of the length of the ribs. A gap is formed between the first pot and the second pot which extends preferably along the entire length of said slots. The use of the air purifier is also disclosed.

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the airborne dissemination and implantation of seeds utilizing an aerodynamic seed delivery apparatus with built-in nutrients, anti-pest, and anti-fungal properties that can be disseminated rapidly from an airborne platform. The velocity of impact and depth of penetration into specific soil types by the delivery apparatus can be controlled up to a terminal velocity kinetic energy by exploiting a specified drag coefficient, mass, and altitude of release. The seeds are delivered and imbedded into the soil at the optimal depth and orientation to maximize germination rates, since seed orientation has a pronounced effect on germination and sprout mortality rates. Flight paths for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) utilized for dissemination can be automated to adjust coordinates based on wind vectors, terrain elevation data, and soil permeability data to efficiently achieve a desired penetration depth across a specified geographic area.

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.

An aquatic weed planting plate for an aquarium is provided. The aquatic weed planting plate for aquarium includes a plate body and at least four feet. A plurality of planting holes is formed in the plate body at intervals. A plurality of dirt collecting holes is formed around each planting hole. The plate body is provided with fixing devices for fixing aquatic weeds, and each fixing device corresponds to one planting hole. The fixing device includes a fixing sleeve, two clamping members and a luminous ring. The plate body is provided with nets for collecting dirt, each net corresponds to one dirt collecting hole, the lower portion of each net is provided with a connecting tube; a plurality of conveying pipes is also arranged below the plate body, each conveying pipe is communicated with the plurality of connecting tubes, each connecting tube is communicated with the corresponding conveying pipe.
