The plant pot further comprising at least one second side wall formed in the first reservoir extending upwardly from the base. The at least one second side wall forming a second reservoir in the first reservoir, and wherein the second reservoir is integrally formed from the base of the first reservoir.

A seedling raising device includes: a cell plug for seedling raising that is formed as a single pot body; and a supporting device configured to detachably arrange and support a plurality of cell plugs, wherein the supporting device is capable of supporting the cell plug in either one of a first supporting position where the cell plug is slidably supported in a horizontal direction and a second supporting position where the cell plug is detachably supported in an upward direction.

Container systems for manipulating growth of a plant or a portion thereof in a controlled environment are provided. The growth of the plant can be controlled for ornamental benefit, commercial benefit or both. The container system may comprise separable modular sections, thereby allowing control over the growth of different parts of the plant. The separate modular sections may be assembled together to control the growth of the entire plant.

A cultivation and sampling method for plants grown in a multi-section sampling device, the sampling device including an upper section with an upper section identifier and a number of cultivation containers, and a lower section with a lower section identifier and an equal number of sample containers. When the sampling device is in an assembled position, the upper section is connected to the lower section such that the sample containers are arranged to correspond to the cultivation containers being underneath them.

A sampling device for plants having a lower section with a plurality of sample containers, an upper section with a plurality of cultivation containers, a cutter and a cutting tip, wherein a base opening is formed in each cultivation container and corresponds to a sample container opening of one of the sample containers, and wherein the cutter and cutting tip are arranged, when the sampling device is in a usage position, between the upper section and the lower section such that a part of a plant protruding out through the base opening of the cultivation container and in through the sample container opening into the sample container can be severed by the cutter and cutting tip.

A planter includes a base including a raised portion to form a channel beneath the base. At least one substantially vertical planter sidewall is formed with the base. At least one drain post is integrally formed on the base and extending substantially vertically upwards with a drain opening at the top of each of the at least one drain post in communication with the channel. The planter includes a removable riser. The removable riser includes a plate supported by a plurality of hollow support columns wherein the hollow support columns are longer than the at least one drain post forming a reservoir beneath the plate. The hollow support columns each include at least one opening in a column sidewall.

A portable seeding device for seed planting in a seed tray includes a seed holding plate having perforations for retaining a supply of seed on said plate and distributing the seeds on said holding plate. A vacuum chamber accumulates vacuum pressure and is in contact with the seed holding plate. A vacuum generator applies a vacuum effect within the vacuum chamber. A handle formed on the vacuum chamber allows single-handed manipulation of the seeding device. The vacuum generator is formed integral to the handle. Upon applied vacuum effect within the vacuum chamber, vacuum draw is applied to the seeds on the holding plate such that the seeds are held onto the perforations of the seed holding plate. The device is thereafter held invertedly over the seed tray and the vacuum effect is ceased, whereupon the seeds are released from the perforations into the seed tray to plant the seeds.

A movable horticulture tray carrier system including a plurality of horticulture trays. Each one of the plurality of horticulture trays defines a plurality of growing cells. A stand includes a plurality of vertical supports spaced apart along a length of the stand. A horizontal support extends along the length of the stand between at least two of the plurality of vertical supports. The stand is configured to support the plurality of horticulture trays above a surface that the plurality of vertical supports are seated on to provide an air gap between a lower surface of each one of the plurality of growing cells and the surface that the plurality of vertical supports are seated on, the air gap facilitates root pruning, facilitates lateral root growth to reduce root circling, and facilitates disease prevention of plants being grown in the plurality of growing cells.

A green roof planter module includes a planter including a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls that cooperate with one another to define an interior space configured to receive an aggregate and plant matter therein, the bottom wall including at least one aperture extending therethrough, a basin including a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls, wherein the bottom wall of the basin and the side walls of the basin cooperate to define a fluid retention space, wherein the planter is supported above the basin, and a fluid wicking member providing fluid communication from the fluid retention space of the basin to the at least one aperture of the bottom wall of the planter, such that the fluid wicking member is configured to transfer fluid from the fluid retention space of the basin to the aggregate and plant matter located with the interior space of the planter.

The present invention concerns a hydro planter comprising an inner container which can accommodate a substrate, an absorption medium and an outer container. The inner container has one or more grids that enable liquid to filter from the inner container to the outer container. The absorption medium has at least one conductive element that is located in the substrate within the inner container and the conductive element is also located in the outer container, and the absorption medium also has a flattened portion which extends with the inner container. Finally, the outer container has two or more legs which enable the outer container to be supported on a surface and which form a gap through which air or water can flow, and the hollow interior of each leg forms a tank for storing a liquid, inside of which the lower portion of the conductive element is received. Thus, the hydro planter can receive plants, store liquid, supply said liquid to the plants, avoid spills, be adapted to concrete surfaces, to green flat roofs, to a modular system comprising a plurality of hydro planters, or a combination thereof; said hydro planter can improve thermal insulation and have a configuration that facilitates the transportation thereof, and can be manufactured with recyclable materials and low manufacturing costs.
