A system for automated plant condition notification, detection, and watering to improve plant growth and maintenance including a computing unit, an optical sensor, a soil moisture sensor, a water tank level sensor, a pump, and a computing unit. The computing unit includes a memory and a processor that receives a first input indicative of a user identifier and a communication type, a second input indicative of a plant type, a soil moisture input, a water level input, and an optical sensor input. The processor also determines a water pump initiation threshold and a water pump completion threshold based on one or more of the plant type, the optical sensor input, or the soil moisture input and determines a plant maturity optical value based on the plant type. Additionally, the processor transmits a water pump initiation, a water pump completion signal, and a notification via a selected communication method.

The present invention is a plant cultivation device. The water tank supplies cultivation water to the cultivation tank via an irrigation conduit. The water tank also suctions cultivation water from the cultivation tank via a water-sucking pipe. The heat-collecting part receives sunlight, and the pressure of air that is heated inside the air-storage part presses the surface of the water inside the water tank. The water tank supplies cultivation water that has been pressed by the air to a culture medium material. The heat-collecting part raises the surface of the water inside the water tank as a result of the heated air being cooled by a decrease in the sunlight. The water tank suctions cultivation water from a bottom section of the cultivation tank.

The present invention relates to a suspended flowerpot adapted to automatic water supply and, more specifically, to a plant cultivation system wherein multiple flowerpots can be suspended on a horizontal member, and the system has a water supply structure enabling automatic water supply to the flowerpots by means of buoyancy, thereby facilitating management for plant cultivation. The present invention, as described above, comprises: at least one flowerpot comprising a mounting portion that can be suspended on a horizontal member, and a body portion having a containing space therein and having a water supply hole in the lower portion thereof; a plant planting portion having an open supper portion through which soil and plants are contained therein, the planting portion being contained in the flowerpot; and a water supply portion having a water storage space for storing water supplied from the outside, having a drain hole formed in the lower portion of the water storage space such that a water supply hose connected to the water supply hole is mounted therein, and having a buoyancy opening/closing portion driven by buoyancy according to the water level, thereby opening/closing the water supply hole.

A water-circulation irrigation system includes a water supply device and a planting device. The planting device includes a water storage container, an irrigation pipeline, a nozzle and a recycling pipeline. One end of the irrigation pipeline is in communication with the water storage container and has a water supply end. The planting device includes a water collection container, a planting tray and a shunting element. The water collection container has a water dispensing post. The planting tray is disposed at an opening of the water collection container. The planting tray has a fitting portion and a through hole and corresponds in position to a water collection space of the water collection container. The shunting element includes a fertilizer chamber and is disposed at the rim of the through hole of the fitting portion. Therefore, a fertilizer solution is produced in a manpower-efficient manner and thus conveniently.

Disclosed are high-density soil-less hydroponic cultivation systems, apparatus used therein, and methods of operation thereof. A high-density soil-less cultivation system can comprise one or more grow columns, each comprising a column lumen, and one or more angled housings coupled to the grow columns. The system can further comprise a nutrient reservoir configured to contain a nutrient solution to be delivered to the grow columns, a capture conduit coupled to the grow columns configured to capture or recapture nutrient solution flowing through the grow columns, and a capture reservoir configured to collect the captured or recaptured nutrient solution from the capture conduit for delivery to the nutrient reservoir to be reused. The system can also comprise an omnidirectional light tower configured to shine light on the one or more angled housings to induce growth of any plant matter within the angled housings.

A perforated subirrigation and drainage pipe includes a pipe body and a permeation irrigation inner pipe. The permeation irrigation inner pipe is integrally formed with the pipe body and disposed at a top of an interior of the pipe body along a longitudinal direction thereof; multiple irrigation perforations, distributed along a longitudinal direction of the permeation irrigation inner pipe, are provided on a pipe wall of a bottom thereof; and an opening is provided on a pipe wall of a bottom of the pipe body; two flow guide baffles are respectively located at two sides of the opening and on an inner wall of the pipe body; a first irrigation and drainage channel is formed between each flow guide baffle and an outer wall of the permeation irrigation inner pipe, between each flow guide baffle and the inner wall of the pipe body, and between the two flow guide baffles.

A system and method are provided for the indoor and outdoor cultivation of larger fruiting plants. Improved lighting techniques, plant layouts, and space utilization are provided to improve the quality and yields of harvested products from large fruiting plants on a per plant and unit area basis. The uniformity of artificial light is improved from the top to the bottom of tall plants and vines, and overcome the lack of light penetration through the canopy of the plant by changing the orientation of lights from a horizontal to vertical alignment along the side of the plant verses over the top of the canopy, as well as increasing the number of light sources to reduce shading. Plants are trained to grow in specific directions and orientations in a grid system to enable an optimal and uniform light distribution and to improve space utilization in a given growing area.

A wall-mounted planter apparatus incorporates a housing with a container storage allowing multiple removable containers to be positioned on cleats within the housing. The apparatus employs gravity to equally distribute a volume of fluid to the removable containers through an irrigation assembly. The irrigation assembly couples to the rear of the housing and incorporates a top-positioned reservoir and vertical channels, portions of which couple to emitter cavities of the housing and facilitate flow through individual apertures of the emitter cavities. The diameter of the apertures is calculated based on each apertures' vertical distance from the reservoir. The removable container can also be reoriented to manipulate plant growth and manage reservoir resources. Additionally, a lid configured to cover the removable container and foster, e.g., ideal germination conditions, can also be used a drip tray if the removable container is removed from the housing and used separately as a planter.

Apparatus, systems and methods are provided for retaining irrigation line configuration relative to an array of plant containers. A plurality of irrigation line clips are configured to releasably lock to the plant containers. The plant containers are each provided with a plurality of apertures for receiving the irrigation line clips, the apertures being arranged in different locations along rims of the plant containers. The clips can be provided with a semi-ring component for use in quick attachment to an irrigation line.
