DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for growing plants, a double container for growing plants, and a method for growing plants.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is an increasing number of people who take advantage of the gardening boom in recent years and enjoy decorating plants in a veranda or room while growing plants in a plant growing container such as a pot or a planter.

By the way, when growing plants in this plant growing container, if the roots that grow in the plant growing container are left as they are, for example, the water in the container deteriorates, the roots rot and the plants die. May hinder the development of children. This problem can be solved by transferring the plant to a large plant growing container or garden as the plant grows, but on the other hand,
The problem is that the plants (stems, leaves, etc.) become too large, and that the plants have to be changed each time they grow (every time the roots grow) or transplanted to the garden.

[0004] Therefore, there has been proposed a plant growing method in which the growth (size) of the plant is controlled while maintaining a healthy state by performing a root cutting operation (pruning operation).

[0005] This is a method of cultivating a plant utilizing the habit of a plant, that is, the habit that the size of a stem or a branch is determined according to the size of a root (the size of a surface area). Regular pruning not only eliminates the above-mentioned problems such as root rot, but also allows artificially controlling plant growth to grow plants in a single plant growing container for a long period of time. become.

[0006] However, when actually trying to prune the roots of the plant, first, the soil is attached to the roots from the plant growing container by holding the stem of the plant (entangled state).
Extract the plant as it is, then remove the soil attached to the roots, leave the roots in an exposed state, cut them to an optimal length, and then put the soil (fertilizer, etc.) again in the plant growing container The work of burying plants (roots) is indispensable, but this work requires specialized knowledge, and the work itself is very troublesome (this requires pruning work) This phenomenon becomes more pronounced as the number of plants to grow increases or as the size of the plant growing container (plant) increases.)

[0007] On the other hand, a method of cutting the roots of a plant by directly piercing a cutting tool such as a saw or a knife into the container for growing plants without performing the method of extracting the roots of plants from the container for growing plants as described above. Although it is conceivable, in fact, it is difficult to make the insertion point of the cutting tool constant, and the root cannot be cut well.

[0008] In view of the above problems, the present invention is an epoch-making plant cultivation container, a plant cultivation double container, and a plant cultivation method, which enable anyone to easily and satisfactorily grow a plant. Is provided.
