A method of growing plants using a water-layer system, said method making use of a moveable container comprising a water-layer unit comprising a water tray, and a rectangular frame, said rectangular frame comprising two spaced apart wheel support beams, and support beams for supporting the water tray of the water-layer unit. The water-layer unit is provided with plants, and said plants are grown with access to the layer of water in the water tray. Furthermore, to grow plants more uniformly across the container, the wheel support beams have upper surface areas, and the support beams provide support areas for the water tray of the water-layer unit that in an empty first state are higher than the upper surface areas of the wheel support beams.

Growth device for crop, comprising a panel-shaped structure, a substrate included in the panel-shaped structure for receiving crop, at least one water reservoir included in the panel-shaped structure, connecting means to bring the water reservoir in communication with the substrate for moistening the substrate, wherein the water reservoir extends substantially above a bottom side of the substrate in a vertical position of use of the growth device.

An automated plant pot assembly includes a first pot for containing an aqueous solution. A second pot is provided for having a plant potted therein and the second pot is insertable into the first pot. A spray bar is removably positionable in the second pot and the spray bar has a plurality of spray ports each fluidly integrated therein. A pumping unit is integrated into the first pot to pump the aqueous solution in the first pot. The pumping unit is placed in fluid communication with the spray bar when the second pot is positioned in the first pot to spray the aqueous solution onto the plant that is potted in the second pot.

The invention relates to a plate-shaped structure for cultivating one or more plants. The plate-shaped structure (1) may optionally collect moisture from the atmosphere and comprises a generally flat upper surface (30) provided with a cavity (31, 32, 33) for holding plant material. The cavity has a sidewall (41, 42, 43) and a bottom portion (51, 52, 53). Further, the bottom portion includes an aperture. In use, the plate shaped structure can cover a reservoir (10) or can be placed on the soil. Optionally, the plate-shaped structure comprises a drain opening (35) with a floating cap and a covering cap so as to allow moisture to flow through the drain opening while minimizing evaporation. Further, the plate-shaped structure may have a cap structure (84) at its periphery for clampingly receiving the upwardly extending exterior sidewall of the reservoir. The plate-shaped structure can be fixed to the reservoir using protrusions (57 a-c, 58a-c) traversing corresponding openings.

A green wall system includes a plurality of potted plants positioned within respective pots to form a wall of vegetation. The pots can be mounted to a support element and plumbing and electrical utilities of the green wall system can be positioned within a utility column adjacent to the wall of vegetation. The utility column can span from a bottom of the green wall system to a top of the green wall system. A fluid reservoir and a pump to pump fluid from the reservoir to the potted plants can be positioned within the utility column.
