BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The above (1) shows the method for hydroponics for appreciation of the present invention, and the above (2) shows the construction of the equipment used for the method.

A process for realizing the method (1) will be described with reference to the drawings.

As a first step, as shown in FIG. 1, a tree 2 is placed in a water tank 1.

In this case, it is not always necessary to lay the bottom floor sand 40 in the water tank 1. However, bottom sand 4
There is no problem in allowing hydroponics of plants to coexist with 0. The tree 2 is not particularly limited, but natural driftwood (natural tree drifting in a river) generally has various shapes and is suitable for viewing.

As a second step, as shown in FIG. 2, a support material 3 which is permeable to water and deformable with respect to the tree 2.
To adhere. Since the support material 3 is freely deformable, it can be attached to the trees 2 having various shapes.

Support material 3 which is permeable to water and freely deformable
Although a cloth-like material can be adopted as the material, it is usually composed of a cotton-like material made of fibers such as synthetic resin fibers, metal threads, and wood chips.

Of the above materials, synthetic resin fibers are excellent in that they are deformable and do not corrode, and fibers made of metal yarn are excellent in supporting ability.

When attaching the support material 3 onto the tree 2, it is essential to take care so that the support material 3 does not separate from the tree 2.

For this reason, usually, the support material 3 is often arranged at a portion where the concave portion of the tree 2 exists or at a branched portion. However, the configuration other than such attachment will be described later in Example 1.

As the third step, as shown in FIG. 3, a plant 5 which is integral with the soil at the root is placed on the support material 3. Incidentally, in FIG. 3, the support member 3 is
Since the soil 4 and the plant 5 are placed and covered, they are in a hidden state.

After the process of the third stage is completed, the plant 5 grows on the tree 2 by supplying water and, if necessary, fertilizer to the water tank 1.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the case of normal water, the water in the water tank is jetted by the water supply pump 7 and the pipe 8 and a part of the jetted water is split so as to pass through the support member 3. In particular, the passed water wets the support material 3 and reaches the soil 4 by the capillary phenomenon.

When the water supply pump 7 and the pipe 8 are not used, as shown in FIG. 3, if the water surface 61 is adjusted so as to reach the same level as the support material 3, water is a capillary phenomenon of the support material 3. To reach the soil 4.

The support material 3 is attached to several places on the tree 2,
Moreover, when the height of the soil 4 placed on the support material 3 is different, as shown in FIG. 5, the position of the lower end of the support material 3 on which the soil 4 at the high position is placed is the lowest. Is designed to be at substantially the same level as the position of the support material 3 on which the soil 4 is placed, and at the level of the support material 3 on which the soil 4 at the position where the water surface 61 is low is placed. By adjusting the water surface 61 so as to reach the water, it is possible to permeate the water to the level of the soil in the high position through the capillary phenomenon even in the support material on which the soil in the high position is placed.

As described above, when a cotton-like material is used as the support material 3, the root of the plant 5 passes through the material and extends downward to reach the tree 2, and in the tree 2, It may also be rooted, which allows a firm bond with the tree.

By the method of the present invention according to the process of the third step, the plant 5 is to be grown on the tree 2, and the tree 2 and the plant 5 are integrated,
You can appreciate the atmosphere filled with nature.

In the present application, a normal sinter containing volcanic ash soil as a main component is used as the soil that does not dissolve in water.

Since the sinter does not easily dissolve even when it comes into contact with water, it does not cause water turbidity and hinder appreciation, unlike ordinary soil.

In particular, when the hardness of the sintered product is 1.0 cm, a pressure of 1.5 kgf / cm ² is applied, and the bonding strength is such that the normal bonded state collapses. In some cases, the roots of the plant can be grown even through the soil, and removal of the above-mentioned obstacles for appreciation and growth of the plant can both be achieved, which is extremely convenient.

The water tank in which the tree of (2) is arranged is the state of the second stage shown in FIG. 2 in the method of (1),
That is, it is a device for realizing the intermediate stage before placing the plant 5 on the support material 3, and the device is intended to realize the method (1) exclusively.

[0027]

EXAMPLE As described above, it is necessary to prevent the support material 3 from coming off when the support material 3 is attached to the tree 2.

In the embodiment , as shown in FIG.
In order to prevent the support material 3 from coming off when it is attached to the tree 2, the support material is fixed to the tree with an adhesive.

When such an adhesive is used, the support material 3 is not limited to the concave portion of the tree 2 or the branched portion, but may be attached to the right portion of the tree 2. it can.

As a result, it is possible to grow the plant 5 in a desired portion of the tree 2 and enjoy a variety of appreciation.

[0031]

As described above, according to the present invention, plants can be hydroponically grown on trees in a container, and a three-dimensional and natural atmosphere can be enjoyed.

Moreover, when the roots of the plant are inserted into the fine pores of the tree, the nutrients of the tree can be absorbed and the tree and the plant can be firmly integrated.

Further, when a tropical fish, goldfish, or other ornamental fish is cultivated in the aquarium, the ornamental effect can be further enhanced.

As described above, the present invention has such advantages and its value is enormous.
