A gardening apparatus includes one or more of a base, a fluid reservoir, and a plant tray or support disposed on the reservoir. The support is adapted for receiving one or more modular plant inserts, and can define a flow structure for channeling fluid to each insert. A pump supplies fluid from the reservoir to the plant tray or support, with a light assembly adapted to generate a spectrum of light for growth of plants from the inserts. A processor is configured for controlling fluid flow from the pump, the light spectrum generated by the lighting elements, or both. For example, the processor can use a dynamic recipe, algorithm or control schedule to modulate the fluid flow or spectrum based the plant type, growth stage, height, plant health data, digital phenotyping data, or ambient conditions, or a combination thereof.

The invention relates to a plate-shaped structure for cultivating one or more plants. The plate-shaped structure (1) may optionally collect moisture from the atmosphere and comprises a generally flat upper surface (30) provided with a cavity (31, 32, 33) for holding plant material. The cavity has a sidewall (41, 42, 43) and a bottom portion (51, 52, 53). Further, the bottom portion includes an aperture (61, 62, 63) traversing the plate-shaped structure. In use, the plate shaped structure can cover a reservoir (10) or can be placed on the soil. Optionally, the plate-shaped structure comprises a drain opening (35) with a floating cap and a covering cap so as to allow moisture to flow through the drain opening while minimizing evaporation. Further, the plate-shaped structure may have a cap structure (84) at its periphery for clampingly receiving the upwardly extending exterior sidewall of the reservoir. The plate-shaped structure can be fixed to the reservoir using protrusions (57a-c. 58a-c) traversing corresponding openings.

In some embodiments, an automated planter apparatus may include a reservoir container having a base with a sidewall coupled to and extending away from the base. A reservoir cavity may be disposed within the reservoir container and may be formed and bounded by the sidewall and base. A support lid may be configured to extend over and cover all or portions of the reservoir cavity. One or more receptacles may be disposed within the support lid, and each receptacle may be in fluid communication with the reservoir cavity. One or more pumps may be in fluid communication with the reservoir cavity and each receptacle. A plant container may be removably coupled within a receptacle. A processing unit may be in electrical communication with each pump and be configured to activate and control each pump.

An apparatus for cultivating plants may include a cabinet forming a space in which plants may be cultivated; a door connected to the cabinet to open or close the space; at least one bed disposed in the space; at least one seed package separably seated on the at least one bed and having a medium including seeds of plants and nutrient solution; and a light assembly to radiate light to the at least one seed package disposed on the at least one bed. The at least one bed may include an upper bed on which the at least one seed package may be seated and a bottom bed on which the upper bed may be seated and that forms a water collecting portion that stores water, and the at least one seed package may be supplied with the water stored in the water collecting portion.

Disclosed is a plant watering device comprising a body forming a well for receiving water; at least one plant aperture disposed in the well for receiving a plant; and at least one water aperture disposed in a base of the well for allowing water to pass therethrough. In some embodiments, there is also provided a disk rotatably disposed in the well, the disk comprising a body, at least one blade on one side of the body such that in use, upon rotation by a user of the disk within the well, the blade scrapes along the base of the well. In other embodiments, a dome is connectable to the device to provide a green-house effect. The system disclosed provides for an efficient and environmentally-friendly means of watering plants.

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.

A vegetation wall system includes an irrigation tank, a vegetation mounting unit with a vegetation holding unit, a pump feeding water from the tank to the holding unit, a programmable logic control unit including a central processing unit and a sensor, wherein the central processing unit monitors an aspect in the wall system by measuring, by the sensor, a component of the aspect as a first component measurement, waiting a predetermined period of time and then measuring, by the sensor, the component of the aspect as a second component measurement, determining, by the central processing unit, a change in the aspect based on the first and second measurements and the predetermined period of time, determining whether the change is outside a threshold range, in response to determining that the change is outside the threshold range, determining that an anomalous condition exists, and generating an alert when the anomalous condition exists.

A cultivation system for cultivating plants from e.g. seeds, seedlings, cuttings, etc. arranged in or onto substrate plugs (2), comprising a cultivation pot (1) having a bottom wall (4a), a side wall (4b) and filling channel (5) extending upwards from the bottom and/or side wall (4a 4b). Further comprising a filling module (6) provided with a filling connection (7) which is configured to cooperate with the filling channel (5) of the cultivation pot (1) for supplying the cultivation pot (1) with water. The cultivation system further comprises means for measuring the actual quantity of water or the actual water level in the cultivation pot (1), allowing control of the amount of water being supplied.

Disclosed are a plant growth management system and a control method thereof. A station device of the plant growth management system includes a flowerpot detector configured detect entry of a movable flowerpot device and to generate a detection signal according to whether entry of the movable flowerpot device is detected, a wireless charger configured to wirelessly supply power to the movable flowerpot device according to the detection signal, and a water supply device configured to supply water to a flowerpot included in the movable flowerpot device according to the detection signal, wherein the movable flowerpot device includes an obstacle detection sensor and a solar detection sensor, performs autonomous driving based on the obstacle detection sensor and the solar detection sensor, searches for a space, an illuminance value of which is equal to or greater than a preset illuminance value, through the autonomous driving, and performs rotational motion in the searched space.
