Background Art.
The following background information may present examples of a specific aspect in the prior art that, while expected to be helpful to further educate the reader as to additional aspects of the prior art, is not to be construed as limiting the present invention, or any embodiments thereof, to anything stated or implied therein or inferred thereupon.
By way of educational background, another aspect of the prior art generally useful to be aware of is that plants, are living multicellular organisms of the kingdom Plantae. They form a clade that includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns, club mosses, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses.
Typically, plant growth is determined by environmental factors, such as temperature, available water, available light, carbon dioxide, and nutrients in a growth medium, such as soil. Any change in the availability of these external conditions will be reflected in the plant's growth. There are biotic factors that are also capable of affecting plant growth. Plants compete with other plants for space, water, light and nutrients.
Plant growth can also be affected by the size and type of a container.
Plants can become root bound so that the growth of an individual organism is inhibited, for example.
A plant container is a container in which flowers and other plants are cultivated and displayed. Plant containers are often made from plastic, wood, stone, or sometimes, biodegradable material. Often there are holes in the bottom, to allow excess

3 water to flow out, sometimes to a saucer that is placed under a flowerpot. The plant can use this water with its roots, as needed. Recently, some flowerpots have been made with an automatic watering system, using a reservoir. Even with a reservoir, plants may become root bound as plant roots grow to the bottom of the pot to reach water stored in the reservoir.
Gardeners may buy one or more containers to grow plants. Because a single container typically will grow just a few plants, multiple containers are required to grow many plants.
Typically, plants are grown vertically in containers and the ground. The vertical orientation of a plant requires room to grow, often growing several times its stem diameter during its lifetime.
Plants such as tomatoes and eggplant require more root space than plants like lettuce and spinach, for example. Because of this, only one or two plants will grow successfully and bear fruit in most average sized containers. For plant growers that want to grow a lot of tomatoes would have to buy and plant several containers at some trouble and cost.
Raised gardens are becoming more popular because plants generally grow better above ground level. For gardeners interested in growing plants in a raised garden, not may products are available on the market. Many resort to building their own raised gardens fabricated from wood, stone and block if they have the time, skills and resources.
Woody plants such as fruit and nut trees are typically grown vertically as well, some in containers for home use, but most in orchards by commercial growers.
Woody verticals require room to grow and substantive amounts of water and nutrient.
A supported plant will also be healthier and grow more vigorously;
producing many more flowers and fruits.
Tall plants like tomatoes and pole beans require support. There are a few plant support products available on the market including plant stakes and plant trellises.
These support products typically insert into the ground and support a plant vertically.
Standard plant supports require extra space that typically is not always available in a plant container. A medium sized pot might support one medium size trellis and just one tomato plant and a large pot might support one large trellis and perhaps three

4 tomato plants, for example.
In view of the foregoing, it is clear that these traditional techniques are not perfect and leave room for more optimal approaches.

The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to embodiments thereof as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
There are various embodiments of the present invention. Portions may be utilized in whole or in part with an organism container or earth and/or soil at ground level. An organism container typically comprises a plant pot, and at least one plant comprises an organism, and/or a plant portion, and/or a plant stem, and/or a plant root, and/or a plant top, and/or a leaf.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the plant growth assembly may enable at least one plant to grow in a substantially vertical orientation.
In another, the plant growth assembly may enable a plant to grow at an angle.
The container portion 1 may enable the growth of a plant in a growing medium. The growing medium may include, without limitation, a natural or manmade soil based growing medium such as mineral wool, coconut fiber or without a soil using water based solution commonly used in hydroponics or aeroponics systems.
The container portion may be efficacious to help grow at least one plant, including, without limitation, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, lettuce, spinach, beans, peas, corn, pumpkins, watermelon, radish, squash and cucumber. Various types of herb plants may be planted as well including basil, parsley, cilantro and mint. Many types of woody plants many be grown as well including, without limitation fruit trees, nut trees and berries. Those skilled in the art, in light of the present teachings, will recognize that many types of flower plants may be grown as well including begonia, pansy, marigold, and zinnia to name a few.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the container portion comprises two separate components that join together; a top section and a bottom section, the top section placed on top of the bottom section in use. In some embodiments, a middle section joins the top section to the bottom section, the middle section extending the height and increasing the volume of the container portion. Any section may be any shape or size.

The open bottom of the top section enables plants to grow beyond the confines of the container portion making it ideal for a raised garden. More plants can be planted and grown within the container portion top section because they can grow their roots through the opening at the bottom and into the earth and/or soil.
In one embodiment, the top section of the container portion is configured with a flange; the flange sloped at an angle to support a plant stem. The flange may be configured with at least one indent or several indents spaced about the flange. In a preferred embodiment, the indent is an inverted arch shape open at the top and both ends.
The flange indent is configured to support the stem of a plant and/or plant support device such as a plant stake commonly in use.
When a plant stem is supported by the flange and/or flange indent at an angle between 5 and 85 , new plant growth may grow from leaf nodules spaced intermittently along the stem. Pepper plants will grow a new pepper plant from one or more leaf nodules along its stem, for example.
Any flange and/or flange indent may be integrated and be part of any plant growth container.
In one embodiment, a plant stake joins with the top section of the container portion, the lower section of the stake cradled by a flange indent.
The lower end of the stake imbedded into growth medium or earth and/or soil at ground level.
Two or more plant stakes cradled by one or more flange indents will create an array of plant supports. Because a portion of the plant stake extends out from the container portion perimeter, more space is created to support and grow plants beyond the confines of the container.
A container portion and/or saucer may be manufactured from of any one of a number of materials including, without limitation an ultra violet resistant rigid polymer, metal or ceramic.
Any portion may be any shape and/or size. Any portion may join with one another, a plant growth container and/or growth medium and/or earth and/or soil at or below ground level. Any portion may be manufactured from of any one of a number of materials including, without limitation an ultra violet resistant rigid polymer, plastics, metal, composites, wood, concrete or ceramic and any portion, support and/or cover may be integrated with another manufactured one piece.
Any portion may be manufactured a dark colour in order to absorb heat, which may radiate up and outward to the benefit an organism.
Any plant portion(s) may be attached to a plant stake and/or any support portion attached to one another using a variety of materials including, without limitation screws, bolts, nuts, washers, clips, string, cord, cloth, straps, bands, rubber, plastic, wire and/or wire encased in plastic.
In a preferred embodiment, at least one organism is supported in a container portion. Placing a container portion top section on top of a container portion bottom section or earth and/or soil at ground level and filling the container portion with a growth medium prepares the container portion for planting.
Orientating a plant stake so it rests on top of a container portion first flange or is cradled within a flange indent positions the plant stake at an acute angle.
Inserting one end of the plant stake into the growth medium and securing at least one plant portion to the plant stake at said angle with a fastener.
Orientating a plant stem at an acute angle so it rests on top of a container portion first flange, a plant stake or cradled within a flange indent and inserting the root end of the plant into the growth medium so the plant top is outside the container portion top section perimeter will position the plant for new plant growth along its stem.
Fastening any plant portion to the container portion and/or plant stake will secure it in place at said angle. Removing at least one leaf at the nodule where it intersects the plant stem will encourage new plant growth.
