METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GROWING VEGETATION
A method of growing a single plant in a single growth chamber such that the plant may be continously harvested with the replacement of a nutrient media in the chamber. The method of growing the single plant comprises the step of positioning an immature portion of a plant in a growth pod. The method also comprises positioning the growth pod in an aperture of a cap comprising a material that prevents the transmission of light through the cap. The method also comprises supporting the cap on a housing comprising a material that prevents the transmission of light through the housing. The method further comprises placing a liquid nutrient solution in the housing, such the upper surface of the liquid nutrient solution is lower than the lower surface of the growth pod.
FLOWERPOT
A flowerpot is disclosed. The flowerpot includes a main body configured to provide a planting space in which an upper portion is open and a central portion is passed through by a through portion in a front and rear direction, a self-watering module installed in the through portion to form water by condensing moisture in the air, and a water supply hole provided on a bottom of the through portion so as to guide the water formed by the self-watering module to the planting space provided in a lower side of the through portion.
FLOWER WATER RECEIVER
A flower water receiver is disclosed. The flower water receiver includes a main body formed in a cylindrical shape with an open top so as to store water, a self-watering module installed on a central portion of a bottom of the main body to form water by condensing moisture in the air, a support formed on a part of the main body in the vicinity of a circumference of the self-watering module so as to support a circumference of a lower portion of a flower pot placed in an upper portion of the main body, and a wick support member, in a process of in which the flower pot is placed in the upper portion of the main body, configured to support a wick configured to absorb water in the lower portion of the main body and transfer the water to the inside of the flower pot, to be inserted into an inside of a drain hole in a central portion of the lower portion of the flower pot.
Irrigation system
A flowing water channel device comprises a tubular conduit made of fluid impervious material, and a plurality of orifices extending along a longitudinal axis of said tubular conduit. Within each of the plurality of orifices, an interior plurality of strands pass from the orifice to an interior of the tubular conduit, an exterior plurality of strands pass from the orifice to an exterior of the tubular conduit, and an intermediate plurality of strands are interlaced with the interior and exterior plurality of strands and configured at least partially within the orifice. Each of the interior plurality of strands, exterior plurality of strands, and intermediate plurality of strands is made of a fluid permeable material.
AUTONOMOUS IRRIGATION SYSTEM
A system, comprising: a housing comprising an elongated hollow body configured to be at least partially embedded in a soil environment adjacent a plant at a desired depth; a swellable element dimensioned to be disposed within the housing, the swellable element being configured to swell when absorbing moisture; a resiliently-compressible flexible tube configured to provide water to the soil environment, the flexible tube is laced transversely through tube openings of the housing, the flexible tube is disposed adjacent to the swellable element inside the housing such that a swelling or displacement of the swellable element compresses the flexible tube, thereby limiting or preventing water flow therethrough; and a moisture transfer adapter configured to communicate moisture along its length from a desired location within the soil environment to the swellable element, as well as methods of using the system are provided.

PLANT GROWING CONTAINER AND METHOD
A plant growing container includes a housing comprising side walls defining a cavity and configured for receiving a plant. The housing contains at least two layers of hydrogel separated by at least one layer of spacing material. The container additionally includes an elongated element that penetrates across the at least two layers of hydrogel and across the at least one layer of spacing material. The elongated element is configured as an air channel that transports air from outside the cavity inwards.
SELF-WATERING PLANTER
A planter assembly includes a reservoir including a flexible container which includes an inlet port for introducing liquid therein and an outlet tube. One end of the outlet tube points towards a bottom portion of the container and the other end of the outlet tube is in fluid communication with an outlet port. Filler elements partially fill the container and prevent the container from contracting beyond a limit.
Plant hydrating coaster
A plant hydrating coaster includes a stand having an upright support and an upper tray. The base of the tray has a plurality of apertures which permit condensation from a beverage secured within the tray to drip upon a plant situated beneath.
