Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a trouble of changing pots for plant culture with the growth of planted plant and to prevent a rise in culture cost by the change in a pot for plant culture. SOLUTION: This pot 1 for plant culture is formed by using a bellows freely stretchable corresponding to the growth direction of plant. In use, when the planted plant grows in such a way that height of the plant highly elongates upward or laterally elongates long, if required, the pot 1 for plant culture is extended in the growth direction of the plant and adjusted to the growth. On the other hand, when the pot is stored or kept in nonuse, the pot is shrunk and compacted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pot for plant cultivation such as a planter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, pots for plant cultivation of this kind are generally made of ceramic, plastic, or wood. However, planted plants grow greatly and their height grows high. If the plant grows long, it is replaced by another pot of a suitable size and shape according to the growth direction of the plant.

[0003]

However, in the conventional pots for plant cultivation, as described above, when the planted plant grows greatly, it is necessary to replace it with another suitable one according to the growth direction of the plant. Therefore, there is a problem that the cost for cultivation is high because the replacement is troublesome.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems in a pot for plant cultivation, and to eliminate the trouble of replacing the plant according to the growth of the planted plant.
An object of the present invention is to prevent cultivation costs from increasing due to the replacement.

[0005]

The above object is achieved by forming the whole or a part of the pot for plant cultivation according to the present invention by using stretchable bellows.

In use, when the height of a plant planted grows high or extends laterally during use, and the plant grows large, the pot for plant cultivation can be replaced with the plant pot without replacement if necessary. Stretch in the direction of growth and adapt to that growth. On the other hand, when not in use, when storing or storing the plant cultivation pot, the pot for plant cultivation is shrunk to be compact.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pot for plant cultivation according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The pot for plant cultivation is made of, for example, a resin material, and is formed in a stretchable bellows shape having an open upper portion and a bottomed shape as shown by reference numeral 1 in FIG. Needless to say, the plant cultivation pot 1 may have a configuration in which a drain hole or the like is provided at the bottom as in the case of a general pot.

When not in use, the pot for plant cultivation 1
Are compressed and stored or stored in a contracted state as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, at the time of use, soil and the like are put in the plant cultivation pot 1 in the same manner as in a general case, and planted as shown in FIG.
Then, when the plant 2 grows over time and the height of the plant 2 grows upward, the pot 1 for plant cultivation is adjusted according to the growth height.
Is stretched upward as it is, as shown by the chain line in FIG.

Further, when the plant growing pot 1 extends sideways, it can be adapted to the growth of the plant 2 by bending and stretching the pot for plant cultivation 1 obliquely as shown in FIG. .

In the illustrated example described above, the vertically elongated plant cultivation pot 1 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to a variety of shapes such as a horizontally long one as long as it has a bellows structure that can expand and contract in the growth direction of the plant. Of course, it can be applied to a pot for plant cultivation. The pot of the present invention may be deformed and placed indoors or the like irrespective of the growth of the plant.

[0013]

According to the present invention configured as described above,
The following effects can be obtained.

According to the present invention, the whole or a part of the plant cultivation pot is formed using bellows which can be stretched in accordance with the growth direction of the plant. Can be adapted to plant growth by extending it in the growth direction of the plant as it is,
As a result, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of replacing a pot every time according to the growth of a plant as in the related art, and to prevent an increase in cultivation cost due to the replacement.

Further, according to the present invention, when not in use, the space for storing and storing can be reduced as much as possible by shrinking and compacting.
