Description

Planter for cut flowers and potted plants.

It is known) for detecting cut flowers in vases and bowls Use grid-like or grate-like inserts. These inserts are in the vase hung in by means of a wire or a clamping device. These devices have the disadvantages that they are in view of the various shapes and sizes the vases and bowls can only be used in a few cases and also lie loosely and tip over easily. The new invention overcomes these disadvantages. The idea of the invention is based on the fact that the grid insert is fixed or removable To be used in a planter, preferably made of synthetic resin.

This planter is placed over an ordinary glass, especially wake-up or Put the mason jar upside down so that the lattice-shaped bottom of the planter is on top of the Place the edge of the canning jar and close the jar. The cut flowers can can now be put through the grid of the planter into the glass and get so a firm stand. Preferably, the diameter of the open edge of the planter Chosen larger than the bottom with the grid, around the enclosed glass a solid To give stand. The latter is especially important when setting up cut flowers outdoors such as in cemeteries. The planter also has the purpose of being one bad looking glass is covered, and thereby the flower decoration better appearance is given.

It is also known for the cultivation and care of certain potted plants to use in soilless culture, so-called hydroponics. These stakes are used in specially made vases or pots. object The innovation is that this insert is no longer directly in the vase or the Pot is used, but preferably in the planter instead of the removable one Lattice for cut flowers. This new arrangement offers many advantages over of the previously known kind.

The insert pot is the carrier of the plant. The bottom of this insert pot has interruptions through which the roots of the plant enter the water of the vase grow into it and there in the water provided with the most important nutrients Find food. Find. The nutrient water must after certain time intervals generally be renewed 3 to 4 weeks. So far this has caused difficulties because the insert with the plant and the hanging ones grown through the soil Roots held in one hand or this insert in another suitable vase had to be asked. This often led to damage to the plant, in particular the root. According to the new concept of the invention, these disadvantages are eliminated. Of the The insert remains connected to the planter. All you need is the planter from that Lift off the mason jar and place the plant next to it for the purpose of renewing the water Place glass. There is no damage to the plant, especially the roots, because these no longer get in touch and hardly change their position.

The use itself also has a type compared to the previously known type substantial improvement on. It is known that the roots of plants are the Not only take food from the earth, but also get hold of the earth. In hydroponics, the plant is placed in a cup-shaped insert. the Wur cells are flushed through the apertured bottom of the insert and lie in the nutrient solution. The roots cannot find a hold here. The innovation makes the latter possible to a certain extent. To this end, will A grid-like grate is placed under the bottom of the insert at a short distance. The roots wrap around individual rods of the grate and anchor themselves here.

Another innovation is that on the edge of the planter Marking the days of the month in numbers from 1-31 is attached as a reminder when the renewal of the water becomes necessary. One needs after the renewal of the water just put a stick or clip in the number of the day, on which the renewal of the water is to be carried out again. With the new arrangement the control of the water level in hydroponics is made much easier. The planter can be made of transparent material, preferably synthetic resin or have openings through which the water level in the enclosed Glasses can be seen easily. As is well known, it is allowed to use nutritional salts Water in the vase only only reach to the bottom of the insert. Since the hydro vases are usually made of solid, opaque material, is a Controlling the water level difficult Th e saw r e i n g. At Hand of the drawings which only represent exemplary embodiments, as well as the description the invention is further explained.

Fig. 6 shows the planter with insert container and lower grid for the soilless potted plant culture cut open in side view.

The cachepot according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is placed over a jar (4) so that the jacket (1) of the cachepot rests firmly on the upper edge of the jar (4). The removable grate-like grille (2) lies tight Srr in a trough (3) of the planter jacket (1). By the grate-like grid (2), the cut flowers can be loosened in the jar (4). According to FIG. 3, instead of the grid-like grate (2), the insert pot for hydroponics (5) is inserted into the trough. After the roots have been freed from the earth, the potted plant is placed in this insert pot, and the roots are flushed with water through the grate (6) Fig. 4. The insert pot (5) is filled with small stones so that the plant gets a hold. In order to give the plant a further hold, another grid (10) Fig. 5 on which there are two spikes (9) is clamped by means of these spikes into the holes provided for this purpose in the bottom (6) of the insert pot (5).

The roots can cling to this grating (10).
