An automatic rock wool block filling apparatus is provided. The automatic filling apparatus includes a supporting mechanism, a feeding mechanism, an orientation adjusting mechanism, a pressing mechanism and a seedling raising tray moving mechanism. A rock wool block can be fed into the orientation adjusting mechanism through the feeding mechanism. The rock wool block can fall onto the seedling raising tray in a forward state that a concave arc surface faces upwards and a flat surface faces downwards through the orientation adjusting mechanism. The rock wool block falling onto the seedling raising tray can be pressed into a hole to be filled through the pressing mechanism. The hole to be filled in the seedling raising tray can be moved to a target position through the seedling raising tray moving mechanism. Thus, the feeding, orientation adjusting and pressing operations of the rock wool block are completed.

This deconstructable plant pot overcomes the problems with soil and root disruption during transplanting. At its simplest, the pot has three parts: two curved sidewalls and a base. The sidewalls can be attached and detached from each other. The sidewalls are connected by sliding them together along their vertical edges. When they are attached they form a hollow body, which can be attached and detached from the base by twisting the base on and off the lower portion of the hollow body.
