Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seedling raising apparatus used for planting and shipping 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, in these types of plants, not only takes time when taken out from a pot or a polypot at the time of planting, but when raising seedlings in a polypot, there is no air permeability and moisture evaporated from the soil in the polypot condenses on the inner wall of the polypot, There is also a problem that the roots of the flowers reaching the inner wall surface of the polypot extend along the inner wall of the polypot, causing so-called root circumference. 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.

[0004] The conventional polypot for raising seedlings used for raising seedlings is, for example, a synthetic resin that 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 social problem that incineration generates harmful substances such as dioxin and causes pollution. In view of the above, the present invention has been proposed in view of the above-described problems, and it is possible to prevent rooting and produce invigorating plants at low cost, without generating harmful substances such as dioxin, and to solve social problems such as pollution. It is an object of the present invention to provide a seedling raising device that does not have any.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, a seedling raising apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a case formed in a frame shape; a plurality of pot storage sections formed by partitioning the case; A pot in which a space for seedling growth is formed and housed in the storage section, and a water passage hole is formed in a mold portion facing the bottom of the pot, and the pot is made of a sheet-shaped material in a circular shape in plan view. The planting soil is formed, the planting soil is put into the circular pot, and the seedlings are grown in the planting soil. In addition, the sheet forming the circular pot is formed of biodegradable plastic fiber, linen cloth, and / or corrosive fiber.
