At least some vertical support elements include an inwardly sloping lower portion. A plant container receiving portion is formed in part by the inwardly sloping lower portions vertical support elements, and by one or more plant container retaining hoops which are sized and shaped for receiving and containing therein a plant container of complementary size and shape. Coupling bars are provided affixed to and crossing under the plant container receiving portion, and extending outward therefrom for use in containment of plant stems. A plurality of hoop elements are provided, horizontally oriented and spaced apart vertically, and each affixed to at least some of the vertical support elements. One or more connector portions are provided above and affixed to the upper end of the vertical support elements. The connector portions are adapted for attachment of the plant support cage assembly to a trolley conveyor in a plant factory.

A hanging plant growing apparatus is provided for growing a plant in a hanging container.
