[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to improvement of a plant growing container such as a flower pot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A typical flower pot is an unglazed pot. Since this unglazed pot has a function of allowing air to pass through and moisture to escape, it is an optimal container for growing plants. In addition, it is characterized by the warmth of the soil that is gentle on the appearance. However, the above-mentioned unglazed pot has a drawback in that it is weak in strength and easily broken. Therefore, it is necessary to handle it with extreme caution. On the other hand, plastic flower pots do not have to worry about being damaged, so there is no concern about strength, and plastic pots are used due to their ease of handling, appearance coloring, freedom of shape, and economic advantages. Has been done. However, since it does not vent air at all and does not have the function of diffusing water, the root of the plant is apt to rot due to overhumidity in the pot during plant growth, and it is difficult in terms of growth management compared to conventional unglazed pots. , It is necessary to manage that point.

[0003]

An object of the present invention is to provide breathability and moisture wicking property while utilizing the advantages of a plastic flower pot.

[0004]

A plant growing container according to the present invention has a body having a pore diameter of 20 to 400 μm and a porosity of 30 to.
The gist is that it is made of 40% open-cell porous plastic.

[0005]

In the plant growing container having the above-mentioned structure, the container is made of plastic, but is a porous material having open pores of 20 to 400 μm and open pores of 30 to 40%.
Since air is passed through and moisture is also released, it is possible to obtain an environment in the pot that is equal to or better than that of the conventional unglazed pot.
In particular, the pore size of open cells is set to 20 to 400 μm.
Therefore, even if water or water vapor molecules pass through, plant roots
You can't go outside.

1 is a perspective view of a flower pot showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of a pot portion. In the figure, 1 is a pore diameter of 20 to 400 μm and a porosity of 30 to 40
% Of the porous plastic material is a container of a flowerpot, and a is an open-cell-shaped hole. Considering chemical resistance, the porous plastic material to be used is preferably a plastic material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polymethacryl, polyvinyl chloride, ACS resin, but is not limited thereto. 30-40% is suitable for the porosity of the porous plastic material,
The pore diameter is preferably in the range of 20 to 400 μm, and preferably 100 to 200 μm. The thickness of the body is 1.5
The range of mm- 4.0 mm is preferable. Especially, the hole diameter is 2
Since it is 0 to 400 μm, the amount of water or steam
Even if the child passes, it can prevent the roots of the plant from coming out.

As described above, according to the present invention,
In pore size 20~400μm, continuous with a porosity of 30% to 40%
Since the body was made of porous plastic material with bubbles ,
Even with a plastic material, it is possible to obtain a plant growing container having the required air permeability and moisture wicking property. Special
According to the present invention, one-time plastic molding process
Has a constant pore size and porosity throughout the container.
