BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seedling raising device used for shipping or planting flowers, potted flowers and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When planting a plant of this kind, a planting soil is placed in a small-diameter pot, sowed or planted with small seedlings of flowers, raised and sold. In addition, planting soil is put into a synthetic resin pot generally called a polypot, and seedlings or small seedlings of flowers are planted in the soil for planting. Plants grown in polypots are sold in polypots.

[0003]

The plant grown in the above polypot is taken out of a pot or a polypot and planted at the time of planting. However, such a method has a problem that not only takes time when taking out from a pot or a polypot at the time of planting, but also the fine roots are rooted, the growth after planting is poor, and poor plant survival is apt to occur.

[0004] Further, when seedlings are raised in a polypot, the roots of the flowers reaching the inner wall of the polypot follow the inner wall of the polypot because moisture is evaporated and moisture evaporated from the soil in the polypot condenses on the inner wall of the polypot. In addition, there is also a problem that the so-called rooting occurs. When the roots of the flowering plants occur, the roots in the pot are only thick main roots and have few fine roots. As a result, the growth of the planted flowers is not excellent, and poor plant survival is likely to occur.

[0005] The conventional polypot for raising seedlings used for raising seedlings is, for example, one in which a synthetic resin is melted and formed into a pot shape. The pot from which the flowers are taken out is not treated as industrial waste. It takes time and effort,
There is also a problem that the cost of incineration is required, and there is also a problem that when incinerated, harmful substances such as dioxin are generated and cause pollution. In view of the above, the present invention has been proposed in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a seedling raising apparatus capable of preventing root circumference and producing a vigorous flower at low cost.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a seedling raising apparatus according to the present invention comprises a case formed in a rectangular shape in plan view and a plurality of seedling raising spaces formed by partitioning an inner space of the case. And a water hole formed in the case part forming the bottom of each seedling raising space (this water hole also serves as a hole for pushing up the flowers grown in each seedling raising space from below). And a laying sheet laid on the water passage hole, wherein the planting soil for raising the seedlings is put in the space for raising seedlings divided by the formwork, and the seedlings are grown on the soil for planting. is there.

With respect to the above-mentioned mold section, the mold section is formed of a mold member detachable from the case, and in this case, the mold member is constituted by a separable vertical member and a horizontal member,

After laying the planting soil, the planting soil is put into the planting plant, and the seedlings are raised on the planting soil. The plants and the laying sheet are taken out from the mold member for transplanting or shipping, so that the flowers can be easily taken out one by one. . In addition, because the space for raising seedlings is formed in a square shape, the roots of the flowers do not occur around the space for raising the seedlings as in the past, and the fine roots are cut off with the soil around the roots when removing the flowers. There is an advantage that the conventional problem of germination can be solved and a vibrant flower can be provided.

Also, since the case of the seedling raising device can be used repeatedly, there is no need to incinerate it as in a conventional polypot, and the cost for incineration as industrial waste is eliminated, thereby reducing the production cost of the flowering plants. There are also benefits that can be done. Furthermore, when the laying sheet is made of biodegradable plastic fiber, when many flowers are planted at once, the laying sheet is planted together with the laying sheet in the planting area, and the laying sheet is decomposed by bacteria, water, etc. in the soil. There is also an advantage that the labor for planting can be greatly reduced.

In addition, in the case where the form member is composed of a separable vertical member and a lateral member, the form member can be easily taken out at the time of shipment or the like, and the taken out form member can be removed. Also when storing, the vertical member and the horizontal member can be disassembled and stored, and there is also an advantage that they can be stored in a small space without being bulky.

Moreover, if cuts are formed in the laying sheet in advance corresponding to the form members 60, the laying sheet can be cut without cutting the roots when the roots of the flowering plants are entangled with the laying sheet. There is also an advantage that the plants can be cut out to take out the flowers, and that the roots can be prevented from hindering the survival of the plants after planting. Also, the bottom inner surface of the case may be curved upward, or a fitting groove into which the end of the mold member fits in the bottom / side surface of the case corresponding to the lower end and side end surfaces of the mold member. With the formed one, even if the center of the bottom of the case is deformed downward due to aging, it is possible to prevent a gap from being formed between the inner surface of the bottom of the case and the end of the form member facing the case, and the roots are entangled. There is an advantage that it is possible to prevent such a situation.
