Abstract: A method for introducing a substance into a plant, in particular a pot plant, includes the following steps: forming a hole into a stem of the plant to get access to a transportation system of the plant; filling the hole with a substance absorbing material; and allowing the substance absorbing material to absorb substance and to subsequently deliver the substance from the substance absorbing material to the transportation system of the plant.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for introducing a substance into a plant, said method comprising the following steps: forming a final hole into a stem of the plant, wherein the final hole is accessible via an opening in an outer surface of the stem, and wherein the final hole has a dimension in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the stem which is larger than a maximum dimension of the opening in said direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the stem subjecting the interior of the final hole to the substance by introducing the substance through the opening. The invention further relates to a plant provided with a hole into its stem, wherein the hole is accessible via an opening in an outer surface of the stem, and wherein the hole has a dimension in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the stem which is larger than a maximum dimension of the opening in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the stem.

Abstract: A method for introducing a substance into a non-woody plant is provided with soft stem tissue comprising forming an initial hole into a stem of the plant, subsequently extending the size of the initial hole to form a final hole, wherein the depth of the hole is between 50% and 90% of diameter of the stem, subjecting the interior of the final hole with a substance, and closing the final hole. In addition, the non-woody plant is also provided.

Abstract: A method for introducing a substance into a plant, in particular a pot plant, includes forming a hole into a stem of the plant to get access to a transportation system of the plant; arranging a container around the stem of the plant, such that substances held by the container are able to enter the transportation system of the plant through the hole in the stem; and filling the container with the substance. A container, the combination of a plant and container, and a container fabrication method are also disclosed.
