An automated plant training system and related methods are designed to train medium to tall plants to grow in a height restricted space by adjusting the plant's direction of growth through the use of phototropism. The device can physically control the plant's main stem, branches and foliage from excessive vertical growth.

Trellis arrangements are used for supporting fruit-bearing plants as they grow. A problem in some orchards or the like is that it can be difficult to install trellis posts in the ground, in particular when the posts are relatively long and difficult to place at the correct angle. The invention discloses a trellis comprising a plurality of supports, each support comprising a shaft embedded in a ground, and at least one connector arm extending upwards at an acute angle with respect to the ground. The trellis is such that for each support, a post is sleeve-fitted to the connector arm so that the post extends upwards at an acute angle but does not touch the ground; the upwardly extending posts collectively support elevated lines running between the posts; and the lines support branches of a fruit bearing plant growing along the lines.

A planter for detachably affixing and securing a pot and plant in a vertical orientation relative to a tree, the planter adapted to allow the tree to grow through the planter and blend in with surrounding vegetation.

A planter that includes a base with mesa structures located in a central portion of the base. Each of the mesa structure having a support receiving opening to receive a grow support. The grow support can attach to the planter at the support receiving holes to collectively form a plant support for supporting a plant growing the in the planter.

The invention consists of a reel which is attached to a fixation support in order to fasten a corresponding staking wire for plants. The cord to be fixed by its loose end to the plant to be hung is wound on the reel, in order for the reel to be attached and moved both axially and in rotation on a pin provided at the base of the support. The base of the support includes a pair of perpendicular arms that determine the locking mechanism for the reel, the base of which includes two diametrical and perpendicular recesses or grooves that can be fitted and unfitted on the arms of the base of the support itself. The reel will therefore always be in the locked position, which can be released by pressing the reel upwards.

A flexible trellis net can be used for growing plants in a grow tent having a series of tent poles. The flexible trellis net includes a trellis that has a mesh lower netting, joined to the series of tent poles, and further has lower netting latitudinal ropes knotted to lower netting longitudinal ropes creating a mesh lower netting plurality of rectangles that are configured for supporting and training the plants within the grow tent. A mesh upper netting is joined to the series of tent poles, and further has upper netting latitudinal ropes knotted to upper netting longitudinal ropes creating a mesh upper netting plurality of rectangles that are configured for supporting fruiting plants and flowers within the grow tent.
