Abstract
Systems and methods for cultivating a plant are disclosed, including an inverse lighting system in which photosynthetic energy sources, such as lamps or lights, are placed under or behind the plants such that the light is directed away from the structure housing the plant. Photosynthetic energy sources are disposed behind or under the canopy of the plant to direct energy away from the structure in which the plant is growing.
Claims20
A multi-plant holder comprising:
- a structure defining a plurality of holders adapted to retain a plurality of plants;
- and
- a light source disposed adjacent to the structure;
- wherein the light source is adapted to provide a positive phototropic force on the plurality of plants towards the structure.

A method of cultivating a plant, the method comprising:
- disposing a plurality of plants into a plurality of holders defined in a structure;
- and
- disposing a light source adjacent to the structure, wherein the light source is adapted to provide a positive phototropic force on the plurality of plants towards the structure.
A multi-plant holder comprising:
- a structure having a first side and second side, each side defining a plurality of vertically spaced holders, each of the vertically spaced holders defining a recess adapted to receive a plant;
- an irrigation system in fluid communication with the structure and the plurality of vertically spaced holders;
- and
- a first light source adjacent to the first side and a second light source adjacent to the second side;
- wherein the first light source and the second light source are adapted to provide a positive phototropic force towards the structure.
