A stackable pot assembly having pots arranged in horizontal and vertical directions to form the stacked pot assembly. The assembly includes two or more blocks mounted over each other. The first block mounted over the floor, the first block has one or more rows of twin-bases arranged lengthwise or side-by-side. The upper blocks mounted one over another, and the upper blocks mounted over the first block. The upper block comprises twin-pots and round-pots. The twin-pots and round-pots have feet configured in their bottom, wherein the twin-pot has two spaced-apart feet while the round pot has a single feet. A lid secures the twin-bases, twin-pots, and round-pots, wherein the lid has apertures for receiving the feet when a twin-pot or a round-pot is mounted over the lid secured to below block. The lid is further having a plant hole.

A smart hydroponic vase system, a method for growing a plant in a smart hydroponic vase, and a method of assembling a smart hydroponic vas is described. The smart hydroponic vase includes a housing having a plurality of chambers; a submersible pump located in each of the plurality of chambers; a plurality of pipes, wherein each pipe connects a different chamber to the first chamber, wherein each pipe is connected to a respective submersible pump; a plurality of measurement sensors including ultrasonic level sensors and a temperature sensor, and a microprocessor connected to receive measurement signals and the level signals and generate drive signals to actuate the plurality of pumps based on sensor signals. A wireless communications unit is connected to the microprocessor. The smart hydroponic vase communicates with a plant manager through a server.

An interengageable container and method including a bottom container and at least two top containers, each container including: (1) a bottom portion having outer edges; at least four tapered sidewalls attached to, and rising outwards of, the bottom portion, each of the least four tapered sidewalls having (a) a top edge parallel to each other and extending laterally outward of (b) a respective outer edge of the bottom portion from which they are attached at (c) respective lower edges, and (d) inner corners at each intersection of adjacent ones of the at least four tapered sidewalls.

The rotating plant pot is a device whereby plants of varying sizes can be grown indoors with a balanced appearance and growth. The plant pot is stationed on an elevated plane for viewing pleasure, and the weight of the pot, plant, and any soil, is centered on an axle on said table. This design decreases the amount of torque needed to rotate even a large plant, such that it can be done manually by the gardener, or a motor can be installed which can spin the plant at a constant or varying rate. Vertical towers extend from the base of the pot to the surface level to secure plant fences, which can hold the plant upright and assist the plant's vertical growth. The disclosure additionally includes a spring configured with a predetermined spring constant to unwind and rotate the pot according to the adjustable rotation rate.

A growing system is described where plants are grown in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices run. The load handling devices take containers from the stacks and deposit them at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit them at stations where goods may be picked out. The containers may be provided with one or more of the following services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensing means, data logging means, growing means, water and nutrients.

There is provided a smart drip irrigation emitter to provide intelligent features including on-demand watering, sensors and communication links. The emitters can be activated by a wireless signal to power and/or control water delivery from the emitter. The emitter also may include sensors that gather data pertaining to an individual plant. Based on the data received by the sensors, the emitter intelligently determines whether to water the plant. The smart emitter can form a communication network with other smart emitters.

A hydroponic growing apparatus may include a housing, a water reservoir, and a lighting system. The housing may include a bottom surface and an open top surface. The apparatus may also include a pump, the pump comprising an inlet and an outlet, and a sprayer coupled to the outlet of the pump. Also, the apparatus may include a support structure configured to fit into an open top surface of the housing. The support structure may define a plurality of openings. The apparatus may include at least one cover plate configured to fit over the support structure in the open top surface of the housing.
