An automated plant cultivation system is provided having multi-tiered vertically arranged horizontal magazine structures each employing seed or plant capsules with a fluid circulation and illumination and communication network controlled by an on-board processor. Particularly, the system includes a magazine structure having seed/plant capsules within seed/plant reservoirs alternately arranged between at least one of a light source substantially concealed from direct viewing. A fluid channel extends across a long axis of the magazine structure, wherein the magazine structure is adapted for use of seed/plant capsules with nutrient composite plant growth cultivation, hydroponic plant growth cultivation, aeroponic plant growth cultivation methods or combinations thereof.

A system, method and apparatus for a container for a plant includes a body having a vertical axis, an open top, a base, a sidewall extending upward from the base, holes in the base and legs extending downward from the base. The holes comprise elongated slots and apertures that intersect each other.

There is provided by the present invention planting containers and associated trays for the production, distribution and display of plants where the planting containers have a channel in the base for engaging with a production or display tray for positioning plant pots in a desired orientation. In one embodiment, the plant container is a flower pot which comprises an upper part; a middle part connected at one end to the upper part; and a bottom part connected to an opposite end of the middle part; the bottom part having a channel extending from one side of the bottom part to the other side of the bottom part; said channel having an apex perpendicular to an axis of the pot, first and second sides, and a plurality of slots at the apex for engaging with a rail system on the tray having teeth.

A planter bottom member is attached to a side wall member formed of a wood material and having a cylindrical shape that is open at upper and lower sides. The planter bottom member is formed of a synthetic resin and includes a lower surface cover portion, a lower end receiving portion for receiving a lower end surface of the side wall member, an outer wall cover portion for covering an outer circumferential surface of a lower end portion of the side wall member and a bottom portion having a draining hole. The lower end opening of the side wall member is closed by the bottom portion, the lower surface of the side wall member is covered by the lower surface cover portion, and the lower end outer circumferential surface of the side wall member is covered by the outer wall cover portion.

A tray for supporting floral arrangements has a base with a periphery, an interior section within the periphery, and an open section within the interior section. An exterior sidewall and an interior sidewall are respectively attached to and disposed around the base's periphery and interior section. The interior sidewall is spaced inwardly from the exterior sidewall and forms a channel between the interior sidewall and the exterior sidewall. An angled flange is attached to the exterior sidewall. A platform with a flat top and a curved perimeter is attached to the interior sidewall's distal end. The interior sidewall is tapered from its proximal end to its distal end and surrounds a hollow space within the interior section of the base. Multiple trays are stacked in a nesting arrangement with one tray's platform extending through another tray's open section into its hollow space.

An open-top gutter for cultivation of plants. In an example, the open-top gutter comprises at least one water space formed by a double edge and being closed at the top, or almost closed. The water space is open at the bottom of the gutter. In an example, the open-top gutter includes at least one separate water space formed by a partially double bottom and connected to the bottom of the gutter via a bottom gap. In an example, the open-top gutter includes a space limited by two side walls and a bottom wall and divided into trough-like compartments by at least one dividing wall. The dividing wall includes at least one water space formed by a double wall, open at the bottom of the gutter.

A method of increasing interspace among plant containers. The method comprises: providing a set of plant containers, the set comprising first and second plant containers; arranging the first plant containers in a first structured grid formation along a horizontal plane; and arranging the second plant containers in a second structured grid formation along said horizontal plane, whereby when viewed from above the first and second plant containers are alternatingly arranged in a joint structured grid formation in a first area. The method comprises, for increasing the interspace among the plant containers, mutually simultaneously moving the second plant containers in their second grid formation away from the first plant containers in a vertical direction and subsequently placing the second plant containers in a second area.

The present disclosure relates to a flowerpot structure, including a flowerpot body. The flowerpot body includes an inner pot and an outer pot that are detachably matched, the inner pot includes a pot opening and a compressible pot body, an upper end of the outer pot is detachably matched with the pot opening, the outer pot is detachably mounted with a pot holder, and the outer pot can be unfolded into a sheet-like structure. The flowerpot of the present disclosure achieves a reduction in transportation volume by using its detachable structure. No matter whether a single flowerpot is or a plurality of flowerpots are transported, the packaging volume during transportation can be reduced by disassembly and compression.

A device is disclosed including a pot stand configured to hold a plant within a pot. The device includes a first platform configured to hold the pot and to permit runoff water from the pot to drain through the first platform and a second platform rigidly attached below the first platform holding a removable runoff collection container collecting water from the first platform, wherein the runoff collection container is removable without moving the pot.

A number of planter base attachments are disclosed which can be fitted to an open-ended product, such as a plastic drainage pipe, to create a planter. The planter base attachment incorporates a base with raised sidewalls which fit into an open end of an open-ended product. The raised sidewalls engage the interior sidewalls of the open-ended product to create a tight fitting. Despite this tight fit, the planter base attachment allows excess moisture to drain through drainage routes disposed in the raised sidewalls. These drainage routes direct moisture to a catchment lip or tray connected to the base. A shelf sits transverse to the raise sidewalls and serves as the bottom side of the planter, which holds in growth media and adds rigidity to the attachment's overall structure.
