JP2000092999A - Container used for culturing plant and provided with plural drain holes which have differences in their vertical positions and are used for adjusting surface level of stored water - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the pot facilitating the control of water, suitable for culturing many kinds of plants, and capable of adjusting the surface level of stored water in the pot to promote the germination of seeds of a cultured plant or the rooting of cuttages or prevent the root rot of the plant. SOLUTION: A plurality of drain holes 2-5 having differences in their vertical positions are disposed on the side surface of a pot. So that a stored water surface level 6 suitable for the growth period of a cultured plant is obtained, a drain hole is selected from the drain holes 2-5, and the drain holes are opened or closed with water stoppers, respectively.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pot having a structure in which a plurality of drain holes are provided on a side surface of a container for plant cultivation (commonly referred to as a pot, a planter, etc., hereinafter referred to as a pot).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, pots commercially supplied for home gardening are provided with one drain port at the bottom. Even if there is more than one, it is for drainage and the water level of the storage surface cannot be adjusted.

[0003]

Conventional pots commercially supplied for home gardening are often provided with a single drain port at the bottom. There are drawbacks such as Pots placed outdoors with the water shut-off lid at the drain to provide moisture and moisture to the soil are filled with rainwater that overflows from the pots during heavy rains when the weather is irregular, and sowing seeds, cuttings (cutting, cuttings) The seedlings (also referred to as ears) are floated and drained repeatedly. When the water is removed without the lid, the water in the pot flows out and is stored,
The seedlings will no longer float and run off, but the soil will dry out more easily. If sunny weather (abnormal drying, high temperature) continues, the soil will be inadequate due to drying due to moisture evaporation, and in the case of seedling cultivation, if water depletion occurs, it will be fatal, so care must be taken in watering management.

[0004]

[Means for solving the problem] Akadama soil, Kanuma soil, etc. have good hygroscopicity.
The soil covering portion of about 5 cm absorbs moisture sufficiently, and in the drying to the extent of spontaneous evaporation, the state of moisture absorption is maintained as long as the amount of stored water is not lost. In the case of seedling cultivation, the optimum rooting condition was that the root end of the seedling was in contact with the water storage surface or was below the water storage surface. If the length of the seedlings is constant, the water level in the pot may be at a certain height, but the length of the cut buds to be used as the seedlings for the growth of the parent tree, the type, etc. Are different, so to meet these conditions,
It is desirable to have a structure in which a plurality of drainage ports can be selected at a height of 1.5 to 3 cm pitch (the pitch size changes depending on the hygroscopicity of the soil) and the water level can be adjusted. If the roots grow and the roots grow, some plants are susceptible to root rot due to excessive water content. Therefore, these plants should reduce the water level of the reservoir as they grow. In other words, root rot can be prevented by gradually removing the water stop lid of the drainage port at the lower position, lowering the water level of the reservoir and making the soil slightly dry.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings based on embodiments. FIG. 1 shows the internal state of the cross section of the pot. 1 is a pot, 2 to 5 are drain ports with a plurality of water stop lids, 4 is a drain port with the water stop lid removed, 6 is a water level of a water storage surface stored in the pot, and among a plurality of drain ports. By removing any one of the water stop lids from the, the determined height becomes the water storage surface. Reference numeral 7 denotes a soil (a mixed soil of Kanuma soil, Akadama soil, humus soil, etc.) 10 is a seedling, 11 is a plant seed, 8 is a net, and the soil is prevented from flowing out from a drain. FIG. 2 is an external view of a pot (the shape of the pot may be circular), 1 is a pot, and 2 to 5 are drain ports with a water blocking lid. Depending on the size of the pot, the drain outlets can be arranged vertically in a staggered arrangement.

[0006]

The present invention has the following effects from the structure shown in FIG. 1 and the sectional view.

One of a plurality of drainage outlets having different heights (for example, as shown in FIG. 1) is used to obtain the water level of the reservoir according to the characteristics of cultivated plants (aquatic plants, plants that prefer dry soil, cuttings, etc.). By selecting 1) 4) and opening the water stop lid,
Sprinkling or rainwater is stored up to the drain port 4 and abnormally dry due to unseasonable weather due to unseasonable weather.The soil keeps moisture for a long time by capillary action until there is no water storage.Water above the water level is drained even during heavy rain. Seeds and seedlings are prevented from flowing out. In other words, it has excellent adaptability to irregular weather, so watering management is easy. Especially after planting the seedlings, it is possible to determine the water level of the reservoir by selecting one of the multiple drainage outlets according to the length of the seedlings, so that the root tip that is optimal for rooting the seedlings is The condition for contacting with the water storage surface or holding it at or below the water storage surface can be easily obtained. In addition, since the water level of the water storage surface can be selected in accordance with the growth, the soil can be made slightly dry and root rot can be prevented, and it can be applied to various types of plant cultivation such as aquatic plants and plants that prefer dry soil. It is an ideal pot for plant cultivation not only for beginner gardeners but also for skilled workers.
