Definitions

  • the invention relates to a decorative object formed by a container with one or more plants therein.
  • the invention therefore has for its object to provide a decorative object on the basis of a plant in a container, wherein these drawbacks do not occur.
  • a decorative object comprising at least one sealed container which is at least partly transparent and at least partly filled with a liquid, and in which at least one plant is situated. Accommodating the plant or plants in a sealed container prevents it/them being influenced by the environment, so that it is possible to do without periodic care.
  • the at least one plant is preferably fully immersed in the liquid, whereby ambient influences are excluded still further and optimal conditions can be set for the plant(s).
  • the plant(s) immersed in the liquid remain(s) clean, while the liquid-filled container with the plant(s) herein has a bright appearance.
  • the interior of the at least one container is sterile.
  • the decorative object according to the invention preferably has means for regulating the growth of the at least one plant, for instance in the form of one or more substances present in the liquid.
  • the container preferably has a seal permanently connected thereto, and the plant growth-regulating means are preferably adapted to limit the growth of the or each plant to the height of the container, whereby the plant(s) can in principle remain in the container indefinitely.
  • the at least one container can take the form of a test tube.
  • a test tube can moreover be integrated in many ways into support members of varying form and dimensions.
  • the support member can thus take the form of a rack in which the or each container is suspended.
  • the "high-tech” appearance is hereby enhanced further.
  • the at least one plant is a cutting, meristem, bulb, seed or piece of tissue culture.
  • a decorative object 1 comprises a container 2, here in the form of a test tube, which is received in a support member 3 which stands on a surface G (figure 1).
  • support member 3 is formed by bending a strip of metal, and has a foot 4 resting on surface G and a C-shaped standing part 5 into which two openings 6 are recessed.
  • Container 2 protrudes through these openings 6 and rests with its base on foot 4.
  • container 2 Accommodated in container 2, which is almost wholly filled with liquid 7, is a plant 8 which lies under liquid surface L and is thus fully immersed in liquid 7.
  • the plant hereby remains attractive under all conditions, while the container 2 almost wholly filled with liquid 7 makes a lively impression.
  • Plant 8 can be placed in container 2 in the form of a cutting, meristem, bulb, seed or even a piece of tissue culture, whereafter plant growth-regulating means in liquid 7 ensure that, while plant 8 does grow, the growth thereof nevertheless remains limited such that plant 8 does not grow out of container 2.
  • Use can be made for this purpose of a suitably chosen mixture of growth-stimulating means such as auxin, cytokinin, brassinosteroids and gibberellin, and growth-inhibiting means such as abscisic acid and ethylene.
  • the content of container 2 is otherwise sterilized, for instance in an autoclave, to prevent problems in respect of infection.
  • a cap 9 which can be connected non-releasably, and so permanently, to container 2.
  • Device 1 is therefore prepared once-only, whereafter plant 8 can in principle be kept therein indefinitely. Device 1 is then of course not suitable for re-use.
  • the decorative object 1 comprises a number of identical containers 2, here four, which are suspended in a support member 3 embodied as a rack (figure 2).
  • support member 3 has two side walls 10, between which two beams 11, 12 are fixed.
  • Recessed into upper beam 11 is a number of openings 6 in which containers 2 can be suspended.
  • containers 2 are each provided for this purpose close to their top side with a peripheral edge or collar 13 which comes to rest on the edge of opening 6.
  • This figure also shows schematically that the plant growth-regulating means collect close to the bottom of each container 2, where the roots R of plants 8 are situated.
  • rack 3 can herein be manufactured from any suitable material. For a laboratory-like or "high-tech” appearance this could for instance be formed from a transparent plastic such as acrylic plastic. For a more cheerful or homely appearance, use could conversely be made of coloured plastics and/or natural materials.
  • Containers of completely different shape for instance containers of spherical, rectangular or irregular form, could therefore also be used.
  • the containers have to be wholly transparent, but use could be made of containers which are partially opaque or coloured.
  • the support member could for instance be provided with lighting directed at the container so as to also cause the plant to stand out well at night.
  • a plurality of plants can further be accommodated in a container. The scope of the invention is therefore defined solely by the appended claims.
