Plant cage
A plant cage includes an annular base configured to surround a portion of a plant. The base includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced stake openings formed therethrough. Each of the stake openings is inclined relative to a central axis of the base. The base is formed from a first segment releasably coupled to a second segment. The plant cage further includes a plurality of stakes. Each of the stakes is configured to extend through one of the stake openings formed in the base. A first portion of each of the stakes is received in the ground and a second portion of each of the stakes extends away from the ground into a substantially conical shape.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GROWING TRELLISED PLANTS
A system and a method for growing trellised plants are disclosed. The method may include growing the trellised plants downwards on rotatable tubes, letting gravity replace trellising and leaning and lowering of the plants may be replaced by wrapping their stems on the rotatable tubes, by rotating the tubes. The system may include: one or more cultivation systems; a plurality of angularly driving belts, for supporting and driving the one or more cultivation systems; and a rotatable shaft configured to rotate and carry the one or more cultivation systems hanging from the rotatable shaft by the driving belts. Each cultivation system may include a cultivation tube having a plurality of holes for planting the trellised plants; and an irrigation system for providing irrigation to the trellised plants.
Automated vertical plant cultivation system
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.
Plant hold-down bracket
A convertible, plant securement device intended for nurseries and horticulturalists to secure potted and non-potted plants and trees from tipping over as well as securing their watering lines. The device may be used with a vertical ground stake such as a section of steel rebar wherein it has a horizontal hook that catches over the edge of a pot to secure it to the ground. Alternatively, it may be rotated 90 degrees and secured to a trellis wire and then strapped around the stock or trunk of a tree to keep it vertical and upright.
Garden seed planter
A garden seed planter that displays a color for identifying the type of garden product that will be produced by a plant from a seed contained in a starch capsule of the garden seed planter. In a preferred lollipop form embodiment at least a portion of the garden seed planter starch capsule has a colored coating that is substantially the same color as the garden product produced by the plant to be grown from the seed, and there is a planter stake attached to the seed capsule having a portion that also displays substantially the same color as the garden product.
ABSORBENT ECOLOGICAL FABRIC
An absorbent ecological fabric is provided, including: at least one first fiber element, each of the at least one first fiber element being absorbent and elongate, each of the at least one first fiber element being woven by a plurality of filaments. The absorbent ecological fabric can provide a large region for plants to attach and climb.
FIXING STRUCTURE FOR COLLECTING AND ASSEMBLING FLOWER
A fixing structure for collecting and assembling flower, especially used for collecting and placing potted plants such as potted orchids, includes a rectangular flower holder main body and a height elevating rack used for allowing a height of the flower holder main body to be elevated, at least one set of two rows of position limiting members arranged in a pairing means are disposed in the flower holder main body; each position limiting member arranged at two sides of the flower holder main body has a concave arc-shaped abutting surface formed at an inner side thereof, and two adjacent surface of the other position limiting members are respectively formed with a concave arc-shaped abutting surface, so that an accommodating slot zone can be defined by each set of the four corresponding concave arc-shaped abutting surfaces, thereby enabling potted plants to be formed as a bonsai.

INDETERMINATE PLANT SUPPORT STRUCTURE
An indeterminate plant support structure comprising a plant support structure base, vertical supports, angular supports and connectors, wherein vertical supports and angular supports are coupled by a connector to form a helical shape on multiple stages. Using a telescopic pole, thread feeder and thread, an indeterminate plant is grown vertically. When the plant reaches maximum height of the telescopic pole, then the plant stem is placed above the angular supports to form a helical shape by which the height of the plant is converted into circumference of a helical shape and load on the indeterminate plant and fruit is distributed to indeterminate plant support structure.
Plant manipulator
An embodiment of a plant manipulator is disclosed, which may have a flexible cylindrical member that is bent to hold a plant in a particular configuration to train the plant. The plant manipulator may include a first end and a second end, a long edge of the flexible cylindrical member, a length of the long edge of the flexible cylindrical member, and a slit along the length of the longest edge of the flexible cylindrical member. The plant manipulator may also have a malleable rigid member with a first and second end, a long edge of the flexible cylindrical member, and a length of the long edge of the malleable rigid member. The length of the long edge of the flexible cylindrical member may be coupled along the length of the long edge of the flexible cylindrical member.
