A hydroponic plant production apparatus comprising: a hollow grow tube with a slot formed in the front face of the grow tube, and a matrix media insert composed of two halves, where the media is insertable into the grow tube, allowing plants to be inserted and grown between the two halves of the matrix media insert in the grow tube is provided. Methods for use of a hollow grow tube with a slot formed in the front face of the grow tube, and a matrix media insert composed of two halves, where the media is insertable into the grow tube, allowing plants to be inserted and grown between the two halves of the matrix media insert in the grow tube are also provided.

A pot stand is provided that is capable of being simply used, receiving drained water without causing water leakage, reducing manufacturing cost and enables easy disposition of the drained water. The pot stand includes a main body, a water reservoir and a load receiving part. The main body includes an upper surface part that has a drain hole, a side surface part that supports the upper surface part and has a space opened upwardly, and a bottom surface part that is connected to the side surface part. The pot stand further includes an opening that is formed in a part of the side surface part and ribs that are provided in an inner side of the main body. The water reservoir is slidably movable through the opening to be taken in or out from the space. The load receiving part is a standing wall-like shaped and extends from the bottom surface part in the space.

Provided is a device which can be used to create cavities within the growing media of plant containers to prevent or mitigate against the effects of too much liquid being applied to the growing media. These cavities generally fall into two categories: exfiltration cavities or venting cavities. The exfiltration cavities created by the device allow for the exfiltration of liquid from the growing media of a plant container into the cavities. The venting cavities created by the device provide a space for airflow between the exfiltration cavities and airspace above the growing media in the planting container, so as to facilitate evaporation of the liquid collected in the exfiltration cavity. Also provided is a method for mechanical removal of liquid from the cavities created by the device.

A plant cultivating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a main body, a shelf, a cultivation bed, and a cultivation container. The shelf is disposed in the cultivation space formed in the main body, the cultivation bed is disposed on the shelf, and the cultivation container is seated in the cultivation bed. The cultivation bed includes a water supply part for receiving a predetermined amount of water. In addition, the shelf includes a water level sensor. The water level sensor is positioned vertically below the water supply part to measure an amount of water stored in the water supply part.

A modular hydroponic tower array fixture system for the growth of organisms such as plants and fungi on arrays of hydroponic towers, allowing for the insertion and removal of individual towers from the array, is provided. Methods for the production of organisms such as plants and fungi using a modular hydroponic tower array fixture system are also provided herein.

The present invention provides a flower pot saucer. The flower pot saucer includes a base with a sidewall extending upwardly therefrom. The base has an upper surface and a lower surface. An aperture is disposed in the base. A screen covers the aperture and is affixed to the upper surface of the base along the periphery of the aperture. In some embodiments, the screen covers the aperture and is affixed to the bottom surface of the base. A plurality of wheels are affixed to the bottom surface of the base. A tube configured to direct the drainage of water that flows through the aperture is attached to the bottom surface of the base. The tube has a curve that redirects the water out and away from a side of the flower pot saucer. The flower pot saucer is both easily transpositioned and allows for proper water drainage.

An air distribution conduit (1) for use in a greenhouse defined by an elongated lower end (2) of an elongated cultivation gutter (3) and by an elongated flexible sheet (4) having two elongated side ends (5,6) which elongated side ends (5,6) are connected to the elongated cultivation gutter (3) and wherein the conduit (1) is provided with multiple openings (12,19) along its length fluidly 0 connecting the interior (13) of the conduit (1) with the exterior (14) of the conduit (1).

A plant container having a plant receptacle adapted to retain plant growth medium and defining an open cultivation end adapted for emergence of a plant system therefrom. The plant container features at least one fertigation supply trough and at least one fertigation drainage trough, each sloping inwardly from the open cultivation end. When the plant container is oriented such that the at least one fertigation supply trough is facing upward, liquid received in the fertigation supply trough flows along the fertigation supply trough away from the open cultivation end, through at least one fertigation supply aperture into and through the interior volume of the plant receptacle, into and along the fertigation drainage trough toward the open cultivation end, and exits by way of at least one fertigation drainage aperture. Typically a series of plant containers are received in end-to-end relation in a channel of a vertical plant cultivation tower.
