A self-watering planting apparatus configured to promote the growth of aerial roots atop a thin layer of rooting media in a shallow passively humidified rooting chamber. The apparatus delivers water to the root system aeroponically via captured condensate that passively drips onto the aerial roots and via capillarity within the rooting media that extends continuously into a reservoir located beneath the rooting chamber.

A watering device for mounting in a container P includes a sealing portion for mounting against a container wall around an aperture in the container wall, retaining means for holding the sealing portion in position against the container wall, a fluid distribution portion receiving portion for holding a fluid distribution portion at a location outside of a container on which the device is mounted and a flow channel portion for providing a fluid flow path from an interior of a container P in which the watering device is mounted to the fluid distribution portion receiving portion.

A self-watering system for irrigating plants comprising a planter divided by a partition wall separating the planter into two parts a growing medium container and lower part a liquid reservoir, the partition wall having an aperture for a liquid movement device and plurality of aeration apertures, the growing medium container having plurality of air inlets at the base. The system comprising a liquid movement device for moving liquid via hydrostatic pressure and capillary action. The liquid movement device comprises a hollow body, rock wool or bryophyte inside the hollow body, and a liquid permeable material inside a bag of interwoven materials. The liquid permeable materials cover an opening of the hollow body. A layer of rock wool or dry compressed bryophyte covers the bag.

Proposed is a pod and a plant cultivation apparatus having the pod of the present disclosure. In the pod, cultivation preparation is completed simply by removing a package that covers an upper portion of a container constituting the pod and seating the pod on the plant cultivation apparatus. Accordingly, even a user who does not have background knowledge of plant cultivation easily cultivate plants.

A potted plant watering assembly includes a panel having orifices to permit the passage of water, support legs connected to the panel, a watering tube, a water level indicator, and a wick. The watering tube is connected to and passes through the panel. The watering tube is designed to extend upwardly beyond soil on the panel when positioned in a pot. The water level indicator includes a rod movably mounted in the watering tube and a float positioned adjacent the legs. The float is movable by water in a pot below the panel to thereby move the rod to indicate a level of water in a space between the panel and a bottom of the pot. The wick is insertable through one of the orifices and designed to conduct water from below the panel to soil above the panel.
