A plant-growing tray comprises a tray top and a plurality of cells extending downwardly from the tray top. Each cell is for containing a substrate for a plant, for the propagation or growth of the plant. Each cell is associated with a catchment area of the tray top, and each catchment area has a sloped surface which, during watering of the plants in the tray, directs water impinging or falling on the catchment area towards the cell.

A plant-growing tray for containing cylindrical stabilised media for growing plants comprises an array of flared columns, a lower end of the columns being wider than an upper end. The columns define an array of cells therebetween for containing cylindrical stabilised media, and a column comprises one or more contact edges defined by an intersection between a wall of the flared column and a virtual cylindrical surface in a cell, such that the contact edges are suitable for contacting a cylindrical stabilised medium positioned in the cell.

The present invention provides a smart plant cultivation device and a smart plant cultivation system which, by using an Internet of things (IoT) technology, can automatically configure a cultivation environment according to a variety of plants, automatically perform zoning control of a light source module, and monitor and record a cultivation process of a plant through a user device.

A modular planting system comprising a plurality of container units to receive therein a growing medium and one or more plants or plant material, the container unit being configured such that adjacent abutting container units define at least one or more voids therebetween; a frame with a plurality of engagement projections which extend at least partially into the at least one or more voids defined between adjacent abutting container units to maintain said container units in the abutting arrangement and positioned above apertures defined in the support frame member; and a water impermeable base that supports the frame spaced apart by a predetermined distance from an upper surface of the water impermeable base.

A horticulture tray support 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.

There is described an apparatus and system for the cultivation of plants. The system comprises a floor comprising at least one recess extending below the floor. The system also comprises one or more receptacles. Each receptacle is configured to receive a root system of a plant therein, and further configured to fit into one of the at least recess such that the root system of the plant is located below the floor. Each receptacle comprises a collar and an insert configured to be at least partially received within the collar. Each collar is configured to engage the sides of a recess and each insert is configured to extend below the floor.

An apparatus, method and system for use in the shipment, delivery, and display of flowers. The apparatus comprises a preferably translucent enclosure with a lid, housing a removable tray assembly. The removable trays have aligned openings for the insertion of flower stems. The enclosure itself is configured to be stacked conveniently on a pallet for bulk shipment and delivery. The system and method comprise providing an interface for users to order flowers contained in the enclosure and delivering the enclosure with a customized multimedia electronic greeting.

A stack planter reservoir retains a volume of water to be pumped through a hydroponic system. The stack planter reservoir includes a reservoir base, a lateral wall, a lid-receiving lip, and a planter-supporting lid. The reservoir base and the later wall define a storage volume for water. The lid-receiving lip is perimetrically connected to the lateral wall to receive the planter-supporting lid. The planter-supporting lid supports a single planter or a plurality of stacking planters. The planter-supporting lid includes a pump outlet to allow fluid transport from the storage volume to the planter or plurality of stacking planters.

A window planter includes a first compartment including a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first compartment is configured to house a first group of plants. A second compartment is slidably coupled to the first compartment. The first compartment includes a first outer sidewall. The second compartment is configured to house a second group of plants separated from the first group of plants by the first sidewall of the first compartment. A third compartment is slidably coupled to the first compartment. The third compartment includes a second outer sidewall. The third compartment is configured to house a third group of plants separated from the first group of plants by the second sidewall. At least the first compartment and the second compartment are configured to be secured to a window frame.

Various implementations include a planter insert. The planter insert includes a base having a wall and a floor, two or more legs, and a cover. The wall and floor define a cavity which is impermeable to liquid. The two or more legs each have a first end and a second end opposite and spaced apart from the first end. The first end of each of the two or more legs is coupled to the base. The second end of at least one of the two or more legs is movable between a first and a second position. The second end is closer to the base in the first position than it is in the second position. The cover is coupled to the base.
