2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been practiced to plant a plant or the like by filling a recess in a natural stone such as a garden stone or a stone for bonsai with a soil to plant a plant or the like for ornamental use. .

By the way, since it is technically difficult and time-consuming to form a concave portion without impairing the natural feeling of natural stone, it is usually necessary to put soil in a concave portion such as a natural crack. We plant and grow plants. However, natural depressions have the problem that the plants die with drying, and conversely root rot and plant soil are washed away by excessive water retention and it takes time to grow. Since the stone requires a certain size, it is difficult to obtain the stone, and it is heavy and expensive.

On the other hand, as an alternative to the natural stones that can be planted in this way, for example, a shelf is formed on a rock wall formed by a plurality of rock panels and earth is piled up, and a water container is attached to the inside of the shelf. An artificial quay wall (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 61-25753) is proposed in which the water container and the embankment are connected by an appropriate means and the water in the water tank installed above the rock wall is supplied to the embankment. However, this artificial wharf uses the atmospheric pressure to supply water in the water tank to the water container, which causes overflows or frequent maintenance and management, and further problems to be solved have been pointed out. Was there.

Therefore, according to the present invention,
A pseudo rock formed by forming a filling material of a predetermined shape with a waterproof synthetic resin material, filling this filling material with a water retention material, and attaching a surface forming material with a texture similar to the surface of natural stone to its outer surface The main body is provided with one or more planting floor recesses in the attachment portion of the surface forming material in the pseudo rock body, and the inside of the filling body is provided through a through hole formed in the planting floor recess. By communicating with the outside, it aims to provide an ornamental planting artificial rock that not only has the texture of natural stone, but also is lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to maintain.

In this case, if the moisture retained by the water retaining material is supplied to the soil contained in the recess for planting floor via the wicking material, the moisture can be suitably supplied to the soil. be able to.

If a hole for pouring and draining is formed at the bottom of the pseudo rock body, the pseudo rock body can be supplied to the water retaining material only by immersing the pseudo rock body in the water, and further the suction hole can be sucked into the through hole. If the upper material is attached and external water is supplied to the water retaining material, the management of water supply can be omitted.

[0008]

According to the present invention, initially, the water supplied from the through hole formed in the recess for planting floor of the pseudo rock body is retained as it is in the water retaining material, and the water retained in the water retaining material is It is used for growing plants by being supplied to the soil filled in the recesses for planting floors through the through holes.
