A device for use within a plant pot with at least one vertically-oriented drainage opening in its base, which facilitates the drainage of excess water from the plant pot while mitigating the loss of growing medium through the drainage opening. The plant pot drainer comprises at least two concentric tiers of structural members having a plurality of horizontally-oriented openings, and an upper body, which is fixed atop the structural members. The horizontally-oriented openings between the structural members are configured to be radially staggered relative to the horizontally-oriented openings of the immediately adjacent tiers of structural members. The radially staggered configuration causes the space between the tiers of structural members to become partially obstructed by growing medium, which impedes the passage of additional growing medium while allowing water to continue to flow and ultimately exit the plant pot through the drainage opening.

A vertical agriculture apparatus is provided, including a drive mechanism, chain tensioning mechanism, connection assembly for connecting trays to a roller chain, tray assemblies, tray hangers, and a watering system. The watering system includes seal members attached to a spring-biased moveable member that is actuated by a surface attached to a tray. The connection assembly includes a connector member defining an inner aperture for receiving pins of a roller chain and an outer aperture for receiving a bolt or rod passing through a tray aperture. The apparatus has a tray that is supported on first and second vertical loops at positions that are spaced apart in two perpendicular horizontal directions. Water is added to the trays on a downward leg of the vertical loop to drive travel of the vertical loop or augment a drive mechanism.

An apparatus is configured to be mechanically coupled to at least one growth substrate. The apparatus includes a frame with a plurality of connecting members and a plurality of insertion anchors. The insertion anchors are configured to be inserted at least partially into the at least one growth substrate and are mechanically coupled to the plurality of connecting members which form one or more openings therebetween.

A growing trough is provided. The growing trough comprises a fabric bottom, a fabric outer wall, and a fabric partition. The fabric outer wall extends upward from the peripheral edge of the fabric bottom. The fabric partition is attached only at opposed edges thereof to the fabric outer wall preventing buckling of the fabric outer wall and equal load distribution when growing media is dumped into the growing trough. The fabric is a porous fabric that catches plant roots and directs the roots into the growing trough thereby preventing root circulation and inducing root branching within the growing trough.

A system and device used to promote healthy growth and reduce damage to hydroponically grown flower bulbs during their transportation, storage and display. A transparent container is adapted and arranged with a support device and a snap-fit cover which act to reduce movement of fluids within the container in transit, thereby reducing spillage and minimizing damage to the flower bulbs. The support device contains a plurality of recessed inserts to secure flowers in an upright position and accommodate bulb growth without causing damage to the bulb. The snap-fit cover creates a reservoir chamber which prevents fluid from spilling out of the container if the container is tipped or subjected to unpredictable forces or motion during transportation. The hydroponic container is ready to be displayed and marketed as soon as it is shipped from the distributor, thereby minimizing retailer and consumer involvement and expenditure of time.

The present teachings provide for a horticulture tray including a growing cell. The growing cell can include a first end, a second end, and a sidewall. The first end can define a first aperture. The second end can be opposite to the first end. The sidewall can define a plurality of arcuate shaped chambers that can extend longitudinally between the first and second ends. Each arcuate shaped chamber can define a plant supporting portion proximate to and spaced apart from the second end. Each arcuate shaped chamber can continuously taper from the first end to the plant supporting portion at a first rate and can continuously taper from the plant supporting portion to the second end at a second rate. The second rate can be greater than the first rate.

A low impact development plant box built on a road and/or residential area, comprising a plurality of segment boxes each having any one of curved, straight line, and slanted shapes in such a way as to provide a structure with a given shape when coupled to one another and an accommodation space formed therein to accommodate planting soil in which a plant is planted.

A planting device is provided. The planting device includes a base, at least one supporter, a light module and a fan. The base includes a planting slot. One end of the supporter connects to the base. The light module has a plurality of first light units and a plurality of second light units, each first light unit 131a and each second light unit have a first color light with a first wavelength and a second color light with a second wavelength, and the first wavelength and the second wavelength are difference, the plants receive the first color light of the first light units and/or the second color light of the second light units to generate gas. The fan corresponds to the plants for blowing the gas, and the other end of the supporter connects to the light module or the fan.

A modular plant growth and support fencing assembly and method for supporting plant extremities during growth of the plants which provides the dual function of containing a plant growth medium in a plant tray; and supporting the plant upper extremities through a framework of intersecting legs and ribs arranged at different heights. The plant tray contains soil growth medium, liquids, and plants. The tray has a generally convex bottom surface that causes the liquid to flow towards multiple drain holes at the depressed perimeter region. A pattern of cuboids and channels on the bottom surface of the tray facilitate drainage of liquid and enhance oxygenation of roots. A fence mounts above the plant tray that has intersecting legs, ribs, and connectors at predetermined levels along the height of the legs to fasten the plant upper extremities, i.e., stem, bud, and other parts of plant growing above the tray. The assembly can be assembled and disassembled through easy connection and disconnection of the tray to the legs, ribs, and connectors.
