Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To preserve a waterweed to be transplanted into a water tank for an aquarium fish for a long period of time even when no water tank equipment for preserving exists. SOLUTION: This plant growing and reserving set is obtained by planting a plant 30 in a solid medium 20 mixed with a nutrient necessary for growing, enclosing the plant in a vessel 10 together with a solid medium. A biodegradable net 21 is arranged on the surface of the solid medium, and the plant may be planted on the net 21 from the above.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a set for breeding and storing plants, and more particularly, to a set for stably growing and storing aquatic plants before transplanting them into an aquarium for ornamental fish.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, in order to moisturize a living space,
Aquariums have been installed in homes and offices, and ornamental fish such as tropical fish have been bred. In such aquarium fish tanks, plants are often planted to increase the ornamental value.
Such aquatic plants are generally difficult to preserve.

[0003] Therefore, plants are planted and stored in a water tank, and if necessary, the plants are placed in a synthetic resin bag together with an appropriate amount of water, brought back to the home or the like, and the plant is taken out of the bag and transplanted. I was

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional storage method, not only is it difficult to control the storage tank, but it is troublesome to transfer the storage tank to the bag, and the water plants are once put in the synthetic resin bag. Therefore, there was a problem that the water plants could not be preserved for a long period of time and the water plants were damaged or withered and had to be discarded.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a storage device that can be stored for a long time without a storage tank.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, and added nutrients necessary for growth to a solid medium in advance, planted aquatic plants on the solid medium and placed in a container. They found that if they were sealed and set, they could be stored for a long period of time by their own photosynthetic action and nutrients of the culture medium if they had a slight light and a moderate temperature.

Therefore, the plant growing storage set according to the present invention is a plant growing storage set suitable for growing and storing plants, and should be grown and stored in a solid medium to which nutrients necessary for growing are added. A plant is planted, and the plant is put in a container together with the solid medium and sealed.

One of the features of the present invention is that nutrients necessary for growing are added to a solid medium in advance, and aquatic plants are planted in the medium and placed in a sealed container. Thus, the plant grows by photosynthesis by a small amount of light and nutrients in the medium, and can be stored for a considerably long period. According to the test of the present inventors, it has been confirmed that storage can be performed for three months or more.

[0009] Further, as a result that the plant can be stored for a long period of time in a sealed container, there is no need for storage equipment, for example, a water tank, and there is no need to transfer the storage equipment to a bag. Can be improved. Furthermore, if the sealed container has a good appearance, it can be displayed as a decorative item during storage of the plant.

The present invention is particularly effective when it is applied to the preservation of aquatic plants planted in ornamental fish tanks, but can also be applied to the preservation of other plants. The solid medium may be an agar medium or a gelatin medium.

For example, when transplanting aquatic plants from a set to an aquarium for aquarium fish, it is necessary to remove the solid medium from the aquatic plants, since the solid medium causes soiling of the water. If you have roots, it is difficult to remove agar. Therefore, a biodegradable net is placed on the surface of the solid medium, and when the plant is rooted on the medium via the biodegradable net, the medium can be easily removed by peeling the biodegradable net from the solid medium. Can be removed from aquatic plants.

[0012] In this case, the biodegradable net is decomposed in about two weeks, during which time the aquatic plants take root on the sand in the ornamental fish tank and can be stably transplanted.

When aquatic plants are transplanted into an aquarium, there is a concern that ornamental fish may be adversely affected if pests or various bacteria are attached to the aquatic plants. Therefore, it is preferable to use plants grown in a sterile room.

When preserving plants, it is necessary that the preserved plants be exposed to even a small amount of light. Therefore, it is preferable that all or part of the container is a transparent glass container or a synthetic resin container.

The amount of the solid medium is set according to the storage period. For example, in the case of storage for 3 months, 50 ml is optimal. The nutrients required for growth are MS in the basic medium, and 30 saccharose per liter of the basic medium MS.
g is added, and 1 ppm of 6-benzylaminopurine is preferable when the aquatic plant is gross, and 0.3 ppm of naphthylacetic acid is preferable when the aquatic plant is a glass.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to specific examples. FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the plant storage set according to the present invention. In the figure, a container 10 comprises a bottomed cylindrical main body 11 and a lid 12, the main body 11 is made of a transparent glass material, and the lid 12 is made of cork.

On the other hand, the solid medium 20 is manufactured in a substantially disc shape using 4 g of gellan gum per liter of the basic medium MS. The solid medium 20 contains nutrients necessary for growing the aquatic plants 30, specifically, the basic medium. MS and 30 g of saccharose are added in advance to 1 liter of the basic medium MS, and a cotton net (biodegradable net) is provided on the surface of the solid medium 20.
21 is placed thereon, and aquatic plants 30 are planted thereon, and are rooted in the solid medium 20. As the aquatic plants 30, those grown in a sterile room are used.

In the plant preservation set of this example, if it is placed in a place where there is a certain amount of light, unless the place is extremely hot,
Even if the lid 12 is not opened, it can be grown for a considerably long time by its own photosynthesis and the nutrients of the solid medium 20. Therefore, even if there is no conventional storage facility, the data can be easily stored.

Before being transferred to the container 10, the aquatic plants 30 are grown in a sterile room, and after being transferred to the container 10, they are grown in the container 10. Thus, it is possible to create a situation similar to indoor growth. The environmental change is less than in the case of natural breeding, and the aquatic plants 30 can be bred stably without causing poor growth or the like.

When transplanting the water plant 30, the lid 12 is opened, the water plant 30 and the solid medium 20 are taken out from the main body 11 of the container 10, and the root of the water plant 30 is peeled off from the solid medium 20 using the cotton net 21, The aquatic plants 30 are planted together with the cotton net 21 on the sand in the aquarium tank. Then, since the cotton net 21 holds the water plant 30 against the sand, the water plant 30 is easy to take root on the sand, and when the root is completely set, specifically, about two weeks have passed, the cotton net 21 has It is decomposed and only the aquatic plants 30 remain in the water tank.
