Title: Plant holder for growing plants

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     Technical Field 
     This application claims priority to and the benefits of the provisional patent application No. “62/369,186” titled “A PLANT HOLDER FOR GROWING PLANTS” filed in United States Patent and Trademark Office on “Jul. 31, 2016”. 
     The embodiments herein generally relate to a holder and more particularly, a plant holder for growing various plants. 
     Description of the Related Art 
     Plants and flowers are sold everywhere at huge amounts. The plants and flowers are cut and arranged in different arrangements and sold in market. After cutting the plants from stem, the plants have no roots. The life of the plants having no roots is less as compared to the plants having the roots. Maintaining freshness of the plants or flowers with no roots for longer period is a challenging process. 
     Pots are effective way to keep the plants alive for longer period, as in pots there is no need to cut the roots from the plants. Pots are easy to handle and to water the plants on regular basis. However, the commercially available pots acquire huge space for growing the plants. 
     The present invention provides an alternate solution to the above mentioned problems by providing a plant holder with an adjustable hanger. 
     SUMMARY 
     In view of the foregoing, an embodiment herein provides a plant holder for growing one or more plants. The plant holder includes: (i) a plant box, (ii) a vent, (iii) an adjustable hanger, and (iv) a gutter. The plant box is filled with soil. The vent is provided at the bottom of the plant box. The adjustable hanger is adapted to be coupled to backside of the plant box to hang the plant box. The gutter is adapted to hold an excess of water. 
     In one embodiment, the plant box is in a trapezoidal shape. In another embodiment, the plant holder is made from plastic and is stackable. In another embodiment, the vent is adapted to drain the excess of water into the gutter. 
     In yet another aspect of the present invention, a stackable plant holder for growing one or more plants is provided. The stackable plant holder includes: (i) a plant box, (ii) a vent, and (iii) an adjustable hanger. The plant box is filled with soil. The vent is adapted to drain an excess of water into a gutter. The vent is provided at the bottom of the plant box. The adjustable hanger is adapted to be coupled to backside of the plant box to hang the plant box. 
     In one embodiment, the plant box is in a trapezoidal shape. In another embodiment, the stackable plant holder is made from plastic. 
     These and other aspects of the embodiments herein will be better appreciated and understood when considered in conjunction with the following description and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the following descriptions, while indicating preferred embodiments and numerous specific details thereof, are given by way of illustration and not of limitation.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     The embodiments herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the non-limiting embodiments that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein. 
     As mentioned, there remains a need for a simple, inexpensive and easy to adjust, plant holder for growing plants at a less spacious area. The embodiments herein achieve this by providing a plant holder for growing plants. Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to  FIGS. 1 through 3 , where similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the figures, there are shown preferred embodiments. 
       FIG. 1  illustrates a cut-section view of a plant holder  100  for growing plants according to an embodiment herein. The plant holder  100  includes one or more plants  102 , soil  104 , a plant box  106 , a vent  108 , a gutter  110 , and an adjustable hanger  112 . The soil  104  is filled in the plant box  106 , and the one or more plants  102  are planted in the soil  104 . The vent  108  is a small hole in the lower side of the plant box  106  that drains excessive water into the gutter  110 . The gutter  110  is a passage that drains the excessive water from the vent  108 . The adjustable hanger  112  is coupled to the plant box  106 . The adjustable hanger  112  is adapted to hang the plant box  106 . In one embodiment, one or more plant holders are connected horizontally and/or vertically. 
       FIGS. 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D  illustrate an exploded view  200  of the plant holder  100  of  FIG. 1  according to an embodiment herein. The exploded view  200  includes a front view of the plant holder  100 , a left side view of the plant holder  100 , a bottom view of the plant holder  100 , and a top view of the plant holder  100 . In one embodiment, the material of the plant holder is selected from a group including, but not limiting to: (i) plastic, (ii) steel, (iii) ceramic and/or mixture thereof 
       FIG. 3  shows the perspective view  300  of the plant holder for growing plants according to an embodiment herein. In one embodiment, the adjustable hanger  112  is provided on the backside of the plant box  106  to fix the plant holder  100  to any shaped wood fences, railings, and chain link fences or the like. 
     The foregoing description of the specific embodiments will so fully reveal the general nature of the embodiments herein that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or adapt for various applications such specific embodiments without departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the disclosed embodiments.
