A two-pot system having plant pot and water collection pot, the water collection pot comprising ground surface and raised edge suitable for collecting excess water from the plant pot and raised edge has a thickness to support plant pot; plant pot comprises a bottom with openings, a wall that rises from bottom, and 3-8 legs located on bottom, along the other side of bottom than the upright wall, the length of at least 50% of the centerlines of the raised edge of the water collection pot differs at most by the thickness of the raised edge from the length of the parallel lines through the bottom of the plant pot; and that 2-30% of the centerlines of the raised edge of the water collection pot are 1.05-4 times the thickness of the raised edge longer than the length of the parallel lines through the bottom of the plant pot.

An outer pot configured to accommodate an inner plant pot. The outer pot includes a bottom and at least one side wall extending from the bottom to an opening configured to enable inserting the inner plant pot through the opening. The outer pot is configured for use in an ebb-and-flood grow system, in that: the bottom and the side wall define there between a fluid reservoir. A dome extending from the bottom and the side wall includes at least one through hole for fluid supply to or fluid discharge from the outer pot, where the through hole is arranged at a distance from the bottom to define a volume of the reservoir. Assemblies, ebb-and-flood based watering systems, methods of assembling and growing plants, associated with the outer pot.

An open-top gutter for cultivation of plants. In an example, the open-top gutter comprises at least one water space formed by a double edge and being closed at the top, or almost closed. The water space is open at the bottom of the gutter. In an example, the open-top gutter includes at least one separate water space formed by a partially double bottom and connected to the bottom of the gutter via a bottom gap. In an example, the open-top gutter includes a space limited by two side walls and a bottom wall and divided into trough-like compartments by at least one dividing wall. The dividing wall includes at least one water space formed by a double wall, open at the bottom of the gutter.

A system (100) for producing a plant (35), the system having an indoor environment, a plurality of plant holders (1) for growing and transporting a plant therein, a controller (105) for at least controlling temperature and humidity in the indoor environment. The plant holder has a semi-permeable foil (20) defining a non-planar boundary of an interior space and an exterior space, a reservoir (2), having an amount of liquid for feeding the plant. The reservoir (2) and the semi-permeable foil (20) are arranged to allow the plant to grow in the interior space. The semi-permeable foil (20) has permeation of water vapor.

Disclosed herein are a planter apparatus and system. In one aspect, a planter system and apparatus can include one or more planting compartments, a water collection reservoir in fluid communication with at least one of the one or more planting compartments, and a water drainage system configured to drain water from one planting compartment into another planting compartment, drain water from one planting compartment into the water collection reservoir, or drain water from inside the water collection reservoir to outside the water collection reservoir, or a combination thereof. The planter apparatus may be further configured to include a water flow control component configured to: open for the flow of water through the water drainage system, and close, thus stopping the flow of water through the water drainage system based on the engagement and disengagement of a water drainage stopper mechanism at the base of the water drainage stopper. Also disclosed herein are methods of using the disclosed planter devices and systems.

Disclosed is a self-watering insert for placement within a plant container, the insert comprising a one-piece self-supporting structure having an open bottom end, a closed top end, downwardly-sloping sidewalls, an open or closed interfacing structure that facilitates a secure seal of the insert against an interior wall of the plant container, an open collar on the top to allow temporary insertion of a pipe or water-discharging mechanism into the watering insert, a plurality of holes and/or screen/fabric material permanently attached to the surface of the top end, allowing water and air to pass through the surface. A lower flange extends circumferentially around the bottom end of the water insert, thereby creating a shelf upon which growing medium rests; the flange further featuring downward protruding fins spaced so as to provide channels through which water passes from underneath the interior of the watering insert to its exterior.
