The present disclosure relates to a plant protection device having two substantially hemispherical portions, two rim portions, each attached to a perimeter of one of the substantially hemispherical, two connectors capable of attaching the two rim portions and the two substantially hemispherical portions to each other in a substantially a spherical shape, a first opening in one of the two substantially hemispherical portions, and a second opening in one of the two substantially hemispherical portions. The first opening and the second opening may be positioned to accommodate a first and a second portion of branch or plant part, respectively.

A flowering plant growing system utilizes a flowering plant growth assembly that enables the limbs of a flowering plant to be retained and supported along a bud platform to spread the growth out in a planar configuration. This type of growth arrangement may stimulate the plant to produce buds that are distributed across the bud platform and may grow up from the bud platform toward a cover. The height of the bud platform and cover may be adjustable as they are secured to vertical supports by retainers.

A tree rooting enclosure apparatus including a body housing with a cylindrical body base having a pair of opposing tapered ends culminating into a pair of opposing end openings. The body and end openings are structured to accommodate a portion of a plant therethrough. The body includes a plurality of exterior longitudinal channels extending the length of the cylindrical body base. The apparatus as a whole is made of two removably engaged elongate halves structured to surround a selected portion of a plant and attach to itself with a water-resistant fit around the selected portion of the plant.

A structural cell system for supporting hardscape, allowing tree root growth, and managing stormwater underneath the hardscape. The system may include: a base having a plurality of receptacles and a plurality of support members interconnecting the receptacles; a plurality of legs each sized and shaped to be attachable to the base within one of the receptacles so as to extend from the base, and to be attachable to another of the legs so that pairs of legs attached to each other collectively extend from the base; and a top attachable to the legs. Outer edges of the base, the top, and the legs attached thereto define a volume, and are configured to support at least that portion of the hardscape overlying the top as well as a commercial vehicle traffic load thereon, while maintaining soil in a substantially uncompacted state throughout at least approximately ninety percent of the volume.

A vegetative support and high stress training cultivation apparatus includes a body member having a continuous channel wrought in an upward surface thereof. A first portion of the body member is disposed at 100 to 110 relative a second portion of the body member. A plant limb is securable into the continuous channel by action of each of a pair of hook and loop fastening bands attached to the body member and devised to secure overtop the plant limb and maintain the limb interior to the continuous channel whereby the plant limb is caused to bend between 100 to 110 over a knee-bend. A triangular bracket disposed on an undersurface of the body member enables hooking engagement to existing lines strung to anchor the plant limbs along projected trajectories. The body member is readily installable and removable without damaging the plant.

This disclosure involves advancements in grafting, trellis design, and an implement to raise and lower cold-sensitive vines between a raised growing position and a lowered position where the vine is buried in a trench and covered to protect it from the cold. The implement relieves the operator from the otherwise laborious task of protecting the cold sensitive vines. The apparatus allows the cold-sensitive vine to be buried into a trench without removing the vine from the fruiting wire. The implement directs the fruiting wire with a vine cordon attached thereto into a trench to protect the cordon from cold temperatures. The apparatus causes the vine trunk to bend to accommodate the position of the vine cordon.

A moisture sealing flexible plant enclosure encloses a potted plant and maintains ideal moisture levels for the potted plant to thrive. The moisture sealing flexible plant enclosure includes a flexible plant enclosure, an irrigation system, and a sealing mechanism. The flexible plant enclosure fits over a plant contained in a drainable pot and facilitates a humid environment which helps the plant remain hydrated. The irrigation system allows water to enter the flexible plant enclosure while preventing significant amount of moisture from escaping. The sealing mechanism selectively closes the opening of the flexible plant enclosure thereby creating an airtight seal. This creates a high humidity environment inside the flexible plant enclosure which keeps the plant hydrated.

A method and system for growing a plant, the method comprising: exposing a plant to water, growing medium and air; wherein the plant comprises a set of roots and the set of roots are located in the growing medium which is in a plant growth vessel, the plant growth vessel is located within an outer vessel, and a cooling medium is present in a space between an outer wall of the plant growth vessel and a containment wall of the outer vessel, and the cooling medium is in thermal communication with the growing medium through the outer wall, and the plant includes a set of roots and the set of roots are isolated from the cooling medium.
