DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to plants and more particularly to plant cultivation as used to improve the performance of plant growth.

[0025] Generally speaking, the plant care system entitled LAZY JANE, may be used for home plant cultivation, including plants and vegetation of many types. This purpose-built Lazy Susan table is meticulously designed for use in tents, providing plant growers with unparalleled convenience and precision. The plant care system, LAZY JANE, transforms the way a plant grower can care for their plants by offering a 360-degree spin functionality, effortlessly bringing each plant in front of the gardener. There is no more stretching or reaching with the plant care system, LAZY JANE, every corner of your plant tent is within easy reach. The plant care system table's smooth rotation ensures a hassle-free gardening experience. The plant care system goes beyond convenience by featuring an integrated screen of green (SCROG) net option, allowing growers to achieve an even canopy of growth. This added feature empowers growers (user's) to optimize light distribution and promote uniform plant development. There is no more concern about your plant being locked in place as the plant tender reaches through the netting. The user just gives the plant care system table a spin and the plant can be reached from all sides. Crafted with durability in mind, the present invention is the perfect companion for growers of all levels. As designed, it elevates the growers' cultivation game, streamline the workflow, and effectively ensuring plants receive the care they deserve.

[0026] Referring to the drawings by numerals of reference there is shown in FIGS. 1-7, a plant care system comprising at least the following components: SCROG/upper netting 1 allows light stem training, stretching the branches out, creating an even canopy so light can hit more flower sites; spring loaded push button 2 allows the upper netting supports 3 to be adjusted to the user's desired height; upper netting support 3supports the SCROG/upper netting 1; circular table 4 comprises perforated base for pots; casters 5 rotates the circular table 4; storage compartment 6 comprises small storage compartment; base leg 7 is adjustable supports for lower table 13; screw lock 8 locks and unlocks the screw lock cylinder inside the base leg in place; screw lock cylinder 9 allows the base leg to extend the height of the lazy jane lower table; drainage channel outlet 10 comprises a merged outlet for drainage channels on table; conduit port 11 allows power cords and watering hoses through the center of the present invention so it doesn't bind while spinning; center pole 12 is central axis that rotates the circular table 4; lower table 13 provides a level, smooth surface for rotation of circular table 4; channel 14 goes around the perimeter angled towards front drainage channel outlet 10.

[0027] Now, as such, in further detail, the plant care system comprises: a plant care assembly including a lower table 13 functioning as a base, the lower table 13 having a lower-table-top-surface, a drainage channel 10, and at least one leg (4 or 5 preferred, but more or less may be used), an upper table which is configured and indicated as a circular table 4 having an upper-table-top-surface, a thickness, and an under-table-top-surface, a coupler (coupling means) able to engage the lower table 13 and the upper table in functional combination such that the upper table of the plant care assembly such that it is able to rotate in relation to the lower table 13, (the upper table located on a plane above the lower table 13 during use), as shown. The coupler may comprise or be in combination with the center pole 12. The thickness of the upper table is defined between the upper-table-top-surface and the under-table-top-surface.

[0028] As designed, the plant care system is configured for use to elevate at least one host plant and such that the upper table is able to be rotated in relation to the lower table 13 such that the at least one host plant is able to be rotate-manipulated to a desired positioning for tending the at least one host plant. The at least one leg of the lower table 13 preferably comprises a plurality of the legs for increased stability. The legs are adjustable in relation to a ground surface via screw locks 8 and screw lock cylinders 9.

[0029] The upper table comprises a grid of apertures. The upper table preferably comprises an upper netting support 3 and an upper netting 1. The upper netting 1 allows light stem training as a canopy; wherein branches of the at least one host plant (multiple branches and host plants are possible) are able to be supported in a stretched positioning via connection to the canopy by any suitable means (ties, clips and the like). The upper netting 1 comprises a net-lattice; wherein the net-lattice comprises a grid, as shown. The grid comprises bars separating negative spaces and may be limited by a periphery along an inner and/or outer edge. The negative spaces allow light to pass through and the bars are able to serve for mounting the branches. The upper table comprises netting supports 3, as shown; wherein the netting supports 3 are adjustable between up and down positions in relation to the lower table 13. The lower table 13 of the plant care system preferably further comprises at least one conduit port 11 and at least one channel 14.
