Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is based on the invention by placing the bottom of a flower pot on pine impregnated with a solution such as water or plant growth nutrients. This invention relates to a potted plant cultivation device that allows a pine solution to be absorbed into the soil in a pot by capillary action through a water supply hole.

(Prior art and its problems) This type of device is a system in which the solution is directly absorbed from the pine into the soil in the pot, so in order to increase the absorption rate of the solution, water absorption holes are drilled all over the bottom of the pot. The idea was to bring the entire bottom of the pot into contact with the pine. An example of this is Utility Application No. 54-13001.

However, although a device with this type of structure satisfies the soil's moisture content, it severely deprives air permeability, leading to root rot and other problems, making it completely unsuitable for plants that prefer relatively dry conditions. It was something I didn't have. The present invention aims to solve this problem.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The potted plant cultivation device of the present invention is provided by placing the bottom of a flowerpot on pine impregnated with a solution such as water and plant growth nutrients, and forming a potted plant on the bottom of the pot. In a potted plant cultivation device in which the pine solution is absorbed into the soil in the pot by capillary action through a water supply hole, the floor surface on which the pine is spread is formed into an inclined floor surface that slopes gently from one side to the other. By tilting the pine laid on the sloped floor surface, a solution such as growth nutrients is supplied to the pine from the upstream side of the slope, and the solution flowing through the pine is collected from the downstream side of the slope and impregnated into the pine. a reflux means for refluxing the solution; and the mat has a plurality of legs bulging from the bottom of the pot having a ventilation hole in the center to create a ventilation gap between the mat and the mat. The structure is characterized in that a flowerpot is placed on the bottom of the leg portion, in which a water absorption hole is formed to allow the soil filled up to the leg portion to absorb the pine solution.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on drawings showing an example of implementation.

In FIG. 1, 10 is a pine, and this pine 10 is impregnated with a solution such as water and nutrients for growing plants.

The mat 10 is made of a non-perishable material, for example,
A material woven from synthetic resin fibers, felt, or molded into a sponge shape is used.

The size of the pine 10 may be set, for example, in a band shape, depending on the cultivation space.

Reference numeral 20 in the figure is a floor on which the mat 10 is laid.

The floor 20 may be of any type as long as it does not leak the solution with which the mat 10 is impregnated. Floor equipment may be built horizontally using waterproof concrete, or a number of shallow synthetic resin containers may be lined up as a floor.

Alternatively, the cultivation area may be dug shallowly and spread out, and a vinyl sheet may be spread over this to serve as a floor.

The solution with which the mat 10 is impregnated may be supplied in a dripping manner all the time, or may be supplied in a required amount periodically. In some cases, water may be replenished by sprinkling water from above the flower pot 30 using a water sprinkler or the like.

In FIG. 1, the upper surface of the floor on which the mat 10 is laid, that is, the floor surface, is an inclined floor surface F that is gently inclined from one side to the other.

If the mats 10 are spread out on the sloped floor surface F,
The mat 10 can be inclined similarly to the inclined floor surface F.

Then, from the upstream side of the slope, that is, from the higher side H, the solution W1
When the new solution W1 is supplied, the supplied new solution W1 gradually flows from the higher side H to the lower side L in the mat 10.

Solution W gradually flowed through the mat 10
2 is recovered from a recovery drain 21 formed by boring an inclined floor F on the downstream side of the inclined side, and is refluxed to impregnate the mat again using a known appropriate reflux means (not shown).

If the recovered solution W2 maintains a quality that allows it to be reused, it may be poured again from the upstream side.

In this way, the solution W1 impregnated into the mat 10 is naturally passed through the mat 10 from the higher side to the lower side, that is, from the inclined upstream side H to the inclined downstream side L. The solution is 10
The remaining problems can be resolved.

Next, the flower pot 30 used in this cultivation method will be explained.

The flowerpot 30 placed on the pine 10 has a bottom portion 33 with a ventilation hole 35 formed in the center.
It has a plurality of legs 32 that are bulged from the pine 10 to create a ventilation gap h between them and the pine 10, and the bottom of the leg 32 is filled with a solution of the pine 10 in the soil filled up to the legs. Water absorption holes 34 are formed to absorb water.

In the example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3,
Four legs 32, 32, 32, 32 from the pot bottom 33
The soil in the pot is formed to swell so that it can be filled,
A plurality of water absorption holes 34 are bored in the sole of each leg 32 along the arcuate surface of the sole.

The water absorption hole 34 absorbs the soil in the flower pot 30 and the pine tree 1.
This is to make the solution impregnated with the pine 10 or the solution that has soaked up to the surface of the pine 10 come into contact with it, and to make the solution suck up into the soil in the flower pot 30 using capillary action.

When such flower pots 30 are placed side by side on the pine 10 impregnated with the solution, each flower pot 3
The required amount of solution is naturally supplied depending on the dryness of 0.

On the other hand, the ventilation hole 〓h formed by the leg portion 32 communicates with the ventilation hole 35 and also connects the leg portion 3
The flowerpot 30 is also in contact with the outside air through the space between the flowerpot 30 and the air permeability inside the flowerpot 30 is maintained extremely well.

Therefore, a suitable environment can be created for cultivating plants that prefer relatively moderate dryness.

Of course, there is no need for the work or management effort of supplying necessary solutions such as water and plant growth nutrients using a water sprinkler or an atmosphere atomizer.

Moreover, by providing such a ventilation hole 35,
It is also possible to allow water, fertilizer, or nutrients poured from above the flower pot 30 to quickly permeate into the soil within the flower pot.

Note that the term "soil" as used herein refers not only to natural soil such as humus, but also to synthetic resins, natural plant fibers, and the like, which are used as soil for flowerpots or alternative soil.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, the necessary amount of solution is naturally supplied according to the degree of dryness of the flower pot, and the necessary solution of water and plant cultivation nutrients is supplied using a water sprinkler, an atmosphere mister, etc. Not only does it not require the labor of supplying or managing it, but the ventilation holes formed by the legs allow the soil inside the pot to come into contact with the outside air through the ventilation holes and between the legs, improving the air permeability inside the pot. It can be kept very well.
Therefore, in particular, this device creates an extremely suitable environment for cultivating plants that prefer relatively moderate dryness, and can achieve mass cultivation of many plants that could not be cultivated conventionally.

Further, by providing a ventilation hole in such a structure, water, fertilizer, or nutrients poured from above the flowerpot 30 can be quickly permeated into the soil within the flowerpot.
