Insertable planter, system, and methods

A container planter comprising:

• a rim;
• an outer wall comprising an inner surface;
• and
• a bottom portion comprising a floor,
• wherein the inner surface and floor define a liquid reservoir,
• wherein the floor comprises an asymmetric positioning structure, and
• wherein the container planter is capable of receiving a planter insert comprising a sidewall;
• a bottom;
• and a complementary supporting structure comprising one or more hollow legs, wherein each leg terminates in a foot, such that the insert can be rotated into only one suitable orientation where the foot of each of the legs of the supporting structure engages the positioning structure, such that the outer surface of the sidewall and bottom of the insert along with the inner surface of the container define a chamber comprising the liquid reservoir and the legs of the supporting structure are inside the liquid reservoir,
• wherein the planter insert is in the suitable orientation, the asymmetric positioning structure engages the complementary supporting structure, and a water outlet or water outlet marker on the outer wall of the container planter is aligned in a position relative to a water intake hole of the insert.

A planter insert comprising:

• a top surface;
• a sidewall;
• a bottom, wherein the sidewall and bottom define a plant chamber and wherein the sidewall extends from the top surface until the bottom;
• and
• a supporting structure, comprising one or more hollow legs, wherein each leg terminates in a foot, and wherein at least one leg comprises one or more openings suitable for liquid to enter a cavity of the leg,
• wherein the planter insert is capable of being inserted into a container comprising a positioning structure that is complementary to the supporting structure, such that the top surface fits in or abuts the rim of the container and the planter insert can be rotated into a suitable orientation where foot of each of the legs of the supporting structure engages the complementary positioning structure, such that the outer surface of the sidewall and bottom of the insert along with the inner surface of the container define a chamber comprising a liquid reservoir and the legs of the supporting structure are inside the liquid reservoir, and
• wherein the one or more openings is a continuous opening extending through a portion of the bottom to the leg.

A plant unit delivery method comprising the steps of:

• (i) providing a method for receiving orders for plants from a customer;
• (ii) receiving a first order from the customer for a first plant;
• and
• (iii) coordinating delivery of a first plant unit comprising the first plant that is disposed in soil inside a plant chamber of a first planter insert, the first planter insert comprising:
• a top surface;
• a sidewall;
• a bottom, wherein the sidewall and bottom define the plant chamber of the first planter insert, and wherein the sidewall extends from the top surface until the bottom;
• and
• a supporting structure comprising one or more hollow legs, wherein each leg terminates in a foot, and wherein at least one leg comprises one or more openings suitable for liquid to enter a cavity of the leg, and wherein the one or more openings is a continuous opening extending through a portion of the bottom to the leg;
• wherein the first planter insert is capable of being inserted into a container comprising a complementary positioning structure, such that the top surface fits in or abuts the rim of the container and the first planter insert can be rotated into a suitable orientation where the supporting structure of the first planter insert engages the complementary positioning structure, such that the outer surface of the sidewall and bottom of the insert along with the inner surface of the container define an enclosed a chamber comprising a liquid reservoir and the legs of the supporting structure are inside the liquid reservoir.
