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 byproviding adjustable or variably sized hangers and spacers.

A watering station includes a robotic watering device having a first swing arm having a first end opposite a second end, a rotatable robot arm rotatably coupled to a second end of the first swing arm, a first motor configured to pivot the first swing arm, a second motor configured to rotate the rotatable robot arm with respect to the first swing arm, and pump outlets positioned on the rotatable robot arm, one or more pumps fluidly coupled to the pump outlets positioned on the rotatable robot arm, and a fluid reservoir, where the one or more pumps comprises an inlet and an outlet, and the one or more pumps are fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir such that when activated the one or more pumps draw fluid from the fluid reservoir and disperse a predetermined amount of fluid out the pump outlets.

A modular building system or storage system can include a number of stacks of container, each stack being positioned within a frame structure having uprights and a horizontal grid disposed above the stacks. The grid can include substantially perpendicular rails on which load handling devices can run. Containers having functions associated with a number of residential or commercial uses are moved in to and out of the stacks by the robotic handling devices running on the grid. The containers disposed in the stacks are selected by function on demand by a user, the building being reconfigurable to take into account required uses.

A planter including a planter box and a rotatable mounting adapter that couples the planter box to a surface of an object. The adapter includes a first plate configured to directly couple to the planter box, a second plate configured to directly couple to the surface of the object, and one or more ball bearings between the first and second plates that allows the first plate and the planter box to rotate with respect to the second plate.

Disclosed is a facility for cultivating plants in a confined atmosphere, including: a container having a length, a width and an inner volume, at least one portion of the inner volume forming a cultivation compartment; a system for supporting vertical cultivation supports; vertical cultivation supports attached to the support system; a vertical lighting system including light sources for illuminating the plants and arranged facing the vertical cultivation supports; and a mobility system for either moving the lighting system or for simultaneously moving two vertical cultivation supports, or both.

The present invention relates to a plant terrarium assembly for containing a plant, the plant terrarium assembly comprising an at least partially transparent housing enclosing an inner volume, the transparent housing comprising a top side, and an opening defined by a rim, a closing member configured to be moved between a closed position and an open position in order to open and close the opening in the housing, wherein the closing member has an inner side and an outer side, wherein in the closed position the inner side faces the inner volume, and wherein the outer side is configured to form a bottom side of the plant terrarium assembly and to be placed on a base surface.

The invention relates to a planter forming part of a hydroponic system. The planter includes a longitudinal body defining at least two longitudinally extending liquid channels and at least two plant holders defined in the body, the plant holders spaced on the outer circumference of the longitudinal body, each one of the at least two plant holders in fluid flow communication with one of the at least two longitudinally extending liquid channels.

The invention relates to a stackable container including a holding body, which has a bottom and a lateral wall, which bound a holding chamber. The holding body has stacking elements, which can be moved from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2) and which alternatively allow at least two such stackable containers to be stacked one inside the other and to be stacked one on the other. The holding body also has at least one drain opening in the region of the bottom of the holding body, and the bottom is designed to hold moisture and/or liquid present in the holding chamber and to guide the moisture and/or liquid toward the at least one drain opening. At least one of the stacking elements has a drain groove, which is designed to hold and to lead away moisture and/or liquid.
