DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a palm mat bowl, and more particularly to a palm mat bowl having a water supply device without a power source.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to enjoy gardening, pots are not only placed on the ground but also hung on walls inside and outside the house, on a veranda or the like, and placed on shelves or flower poles. In order to keep the flowers beautiful and lively for a long period of time, it is essential to supply water to the roots of the flowers and water the leaves.

[0003]

Water sprinkling on the leaves of the flowers has a problem that excess water is transmitted down the pot and falls on the floors and walls of the building, impairing aesthetics and eventually causing rot. Water supply to the roots of the flowers will become root rot if too much, and will die if water supply is cut off. Therefore, care must always be taken when supplying water to the roots of the flowers and watering the leaves.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems relating to conventional watering such as water supply to the root of a flower and watering to a leaf. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coconut mat bowl that can automatically and easily manage the excess and deficiency of water without the need for water. Another object of the present invention is to provide a coconut mat bowl which is less likely to absorb excess water and fall down when watered. The present invention further includes soil having a high water content and capable of maintaining appropriate wetness over a long period of time, and can reduce the frequency of watering such as water supply to roots of plants and watering to leaves, as compared with the related art. It is characterized by providing palm mat bowls.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a palm mat is formed in a pot-like body, and a water supply tank having a water supply pipe and a water hole is arranged at the bottom of the pot-like body. A palm mat pot characterized by filling a pot-like body with culture soil containing coco peat.

An embodiment of the present invention is as follows.
An opening is provided in a side wall portion of the pot-like body.
The coconut mat is of a hanging type. The coconut mat is of a placement type. The coconut mat is a wall-hanging type. The cultivation soil contains coconut fibers cut to 1 mm or less. In these embodiments, water supply to the roots of the flowers can be automatically managed without the need for a power source, and the excess or deficiency of water can be easily managed. The soil has a high moisture content and can maintain appropriate moisture for a long time, and the frequency of irrigation such as water supply to the roots of plants and watering to leaves is reduced. The effect that can be reduced compared to the related art can be further enhanced.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a coconut mat according to an embodiment of the present invention. Coconut mat bowl 1
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a palm fiber is formed into a pot-like body by a palm mat 10 formed in a mat shape, and a wire 12 is formed.
And a water supply unit 16 is arranged at the bottom. The palm mat bowl 1 can be tied to a string 1 as shown in FIG.
8 or a stand (not shown)
And may be mounted on a wall. The shape of the palm mat bowl 1 may be zigzag, box, or sphere in addition to the bowl. A hole 19 may be provided in the side wall of the palm mat bowl 1 to insert a plant, diffuse water, and absorb oxygen, if desired.

The water supply section 16 has a rectangular parallelepiped water storage tank 20, and a plurality of large water circular openings 22 are provided on the upper surface of the water storage tank 20. A cylindrical tube 24 with a bottom extends from the large water circular opening 22 toward the inside (downward) to near the bottom of the water storage tank 20. A plurality of small water-passing circular openings 25 are provided in the cylindrical portion of the cylindrical pipe 24, and the diameter of the small water-passing circular opening 25 is 1 to 50 mm, preferably 3 to 10 mm. The shape of the water storage tank 20 can be any shape such as a part of a sphere or a truncated cone, according to the shape of the palm mat bowl 1.

A water supply pipe 30 for supplying water W is provided vertically at a corner on the upper surface of the water storage tank 20. Water supply pipe 30
A water level gauge 36 provided with a float 34 at the lower end to indicate the water level in the water storage tank 20 is arranged inside the water storage tank 20. The head of the water supply pipe 30 protrudes from the surface of the filled culture soil. In the palm mat bowl 1, including the inside of the bottomed cylindrical tube 24,
Fill 50-90%, preferably 70-80% of its volume with coco peat C.
Water supply through. Cocopeat is a refuse that is between the palm fibers and comes out from the palm (wood) when the palm fibers are collected.
Also called coco dust, it has a large amount of water retention and can maintain moisture suitable for flowers for a long period of time.

[0010]

Example 1 A nonwoven fabric of coconut fibers was laid in a usual hanging basket, a water supply tank was installed, coco peat was filled up to 8 minutes, and Safinia was planted in a pot. Then, it was watered or sprinkled and left for 2 weeks. Although the hanging basket was sprayed only once as described above, the growth of Saffinia was good and the inside of the coco peat was appropriately moistened.

[0011]

Example 2 A nonwoven fabric of coconut fiber was laid in a normal hanging basket, a water supply tank was set up, and the culture soil prepared by mixing Akadama soil and peat moss in a ratio of 7: 3 was filled up to the eighth minute, and saffinia was potted. Planted. Then, it was watered or sprinkled and left for 2 weeks. In this hanging basket, the growth of Safinia was poor and withered, and there were some withered parts. Two weeks after the above, the degree of drying of the cultivation soil was high, and even if water was sprinkled thereafter, the cultivation soil did not absorb water.

[0012]

According to the present invention, the water supply to the roots of the flowers can be automatically controlled without requiring a power source, and the excess or deficiency of water can be easily managed. The present invention also provides
It has the effect of absorbing excess water and being less likely to fall down when sprayed. The present invention further has soil having a high water content and capable of maintaining appropriate wetness for a long time, and reducing the frequency of irrigation such as water supply to the roots of plants and watering to leaves, etc. Has the effect of being able to
