Abstract:
A plant container is provided which is designed to be inserted within a cut-out in a hydroponic tower. The plant container includes (i) a plant cup configured to hold a plant's root structure along with a small portion of plant growth media; (ii) a pair of side wings extending from the sides of the plant cup, the side wings helping to direct water and nutrients to the plant roots contained within the plant cup; (iii) at least one handling rail that aids plant container insertion and removal, and which may include an alignment surface that insures that the plant container is fully inserted and aligned during the insertion procedure; and (iv) a fastener configured to hold the plant container within the tower cut-out.

Claim (Index 1):
A plant container configured to be inserted within a cut-out in a hydroponic tower, the plant container comprising:\n a plant cup configured to contain a plant root structure and a growth medium, wherein a central axis corresponding to said plant cup is angled upwards at an angle off horizontal when the plant container is fully inserted into the cut-out of the hydroponic tower, said plant cup comprising:\n an open front face, wherein said open front face of said plant cup is proximate to a front surface of said hydroponic tower when the plant container is fully inserted into the cut-out of the hydroponic tower; and \n a plurality of apertures configured to allow passage of a water/nutrient mix passing within said hydroponic tower to said plant root structure contained within said plant cup; \n a first side wing extending from a first side of said plant cup, said first side wing configured to promote passage of said water/nutrient mix through a first portion of said plurality of apertures; a second side wing extending from a second side of said plant cup, said second side wing configured to promote passage of said water/nutrient mix through a second portion of said plurality of apertures; a handling member proximate to said open front face, said handling member comprising at least one gripping surface, wherein said at least one gripping surface extends away from said front surface of the hydroponic tower when the plant container is fully inserted into the hydroponic tower; and a fastener configured to hold the plant container within the cut-out in the hydroponic tower.
