DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to a growing bag for plants and more particularly to a plant growing apparatus structured and arranged for growing and storing a plant, including a composition of premix soil for vegetation of the plant having a storage means is adapted to have a surface material that penetrates air and water within the composition of premix soil

[0020] Generally speaking the plant growing bag is generally constructed to contain a predetermined volume of growing medium such as a composition of premix soil with a seed or a small young plant in a predetermined amount to allow plant root growth within the growing apparatus while the remaining portion of the plant extends outside of the growing apparatus.

[0021] The plant growing apparatus comprises an opening at the top section of the growing apparatus for implanting the plant and after planting, putting the water and other nutrients in the predetermined interval of time. The plant growing apparatus is made of material selected from a group of, but not limited to, sta-green, premium weed control, or a combination thereof, although other suitable material can also be used by the producer as per their requirement. Further, the shape is, but not limited to, a cylindrical shape and structure of the growing apparatus with a round base at the bottom section of the apparatus and can be just flat rectangular shape with open on the top for soil to pour through.

[0022] Once the apparatus is filled with soil, it can stand by itself then it would be more of cylinder shape. The used material is having a permeable surface that allows air and water penetration for healthy soil. Also, the material is enhanced ultraviolet (UV) protection for added durability, if the apparatus is left out in the sun for a longer period of time. The composition of the premix soil is also selected by the producer as per the convenience and adaptability of the vegetating or planting plants and the requirement of the nutrients for the planted and vegetated plant.

[0023] The method for the planting apparatus includes that the user needs to be cut a small opening on the top section of the growing apparatus and insert the seed or baby plant in the growing apparatus and add water and other relevant nutrients for the planted plant.

[0024] The above-mentioned plant growing apparatus provides a flexibility to users by eliminating the hassles of buying, planting pots, soil, and fertilizer, which is inexpensive, durable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes. The plant growing apparatus has a UV and weather protected surface with a compact base. In addition, the plant growing apparatus with a premix soil composition is simple, lightweight, sturdy and resistant to abrupt weather condition. The user can be easily used the growing apparatus with any size and shape as per their desire.
