An above ground watering system for vandaceous orchid air plants. Some embodiments may comprise one or more watering elements, such as a watering manifold that may deliver water through one or more outtake ports through water delivery members that may extend from the watering manifold and ribbons wrapped around the roots of the vandaceous orchid to deliver water and/or nutrients continuously via capillary action.

Systems, methods, and kits for plant propagation are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems, methods, and kits for plant propagation involve a plug, a wrap, and a container. The container is configured to house the plug with a plant growing therein, where the plug is encircled by the wrap within the container, and where the plug and the wrap may include the same material.

Provided herein are methodology and composition for use of any nut (such as almond, walnut, or pistachio) or legume (peanut) shell and/or husk material in a growing substrate, with or without other components such as peat, perlite, or coir; for plant growth, whether it be used in its whole form or some reduced form such as, having been chipped or ground, and whether composted or not.

An aeration container system for plants having aerial roots, comprising an aeration container comprising a plurality of elongate curved vanes, each vane comprising a top portion, lower portion, a first planar side and a second planar side opposing the first planar side, the planar sides connecting a front edge, outer edge and the top and bottom portions. A reservoir is also provided wherein each vane is equidistantly spaced and attached perpendicular to an outside surface of the reservoir and focus light and ambient airflow from outside the aeration container to inside the aeration container.

A pot for culturing an epiphyte, in particular an orchid, is provided. The pot is integrally injection molded from a transparent plastic and has a bottom, a lower edge, an upper edge and a sidewall extending between the lower edge and the upper edge. The sidewall of the pot is provided with an outwardly protruding lip at the level of the upper edge. A cross section through the sidewall of the pot, tangent to the lower face of the lip, has a substantially hexagonal or octagonal shape. Consequently, the pot, at least at the top, is hexagonal or octagonal, thus allowing more pots to be positioned per unit area compared to a round shape having the same diameter as the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the hexagonal or octagonal shape.
