Abstract: Known plant-cultivation boards for vertical epiphyte planting in a plant substrate are nowadays made of wickerwork of tree fern roots cut into a cuboid shape. However, this material should no longer be used for reasons of protection of the species. Moreover, when the epiphytes are replanted, the roots cannot, or only with a high degree of destruction be detached from the known plant-cultivation boards. For eliminating this disadvantage and permitting also a use of other plant substrates, it is suggested that a receptacle (1) should be created for the plant substrate, which comprises a back wall (3) provided with a smooth inner surface facing the plant substrate and a front wall (2) which is composed of a plurality of releasable elements (13) provided with fastening means for fastening the plants and which includes at least one opening (21) permitting the plants to reach the plant substrate, the opening being formed by spacers (18) arranged between the elements (13).

Abstract: A perforated plant vessel that can be assembled by using plastic components including at least one base plate with insertion openings, apertures and lateral wall segments with insertion projections adapted to the insertion openings. The individual parts are well-suited to plants, visually attractive, can be stored easily and can be assembled in various shapes so as to form vessels of different sizes.The plant vessel is particularly suitable for epiphytes in living areas.
