Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a MOW-type plant cultivation container preventing root rot due to overwater which is one of causes of failure in watering control, and solving the following problems: transplantation of a plant planted in a flower pot is apt to result in failure without skill, takes a lot of time and labor, and causes trouble with removal of unnecessary soil and flowerpot because the roots get overcrowded in the flowerpot and the plant is necessary to be transplanted within several years after planted; and the plant planted in the flowerpot is very heavy and inconvenient to carry if the soil is heavy, the soil is scattered, or the flowerpot, if being made of earth, is inevitably broken when falling down. <P>SOLUTION: The MOW-type plant cultivation container is formed through applying roots of cultivated plants and moss for protecting the roots to a dome-shaped net or a porous outer wall so as to make the roots of the plants and the moss grow to be integrated with the outer wall. The container has such a mechanism that the inside of the outer wall is made hollow to supply the plant roots with a proper amount of oxygen and water even when managing excessive moisture by putting the container on a tray filled with water so as to cause no root rot and facilitate management because of its lightness in weight. The root rot can be easily solved by cutting the roots inside the outer wall to trim them. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a plant cultivator that attaches and grows plant roots and moss on a dome-shaped mesh-like outer wall.

  Conventional pots are plants that are planted in pots containing soil.

However, the plant planted in the plant pot as in the above cultivation method becomes clogged up and needs to be replanted after several years. This is prone to failure unless they are skilled, and is time consuming, and disposal of unnecessary soil and pots is troublesome. Furthermore, depending on the soil and plant pot used, it is not only very heavy and inconvenient to carry, but also scattering of the soil when the plant pot collapses and breakage in the case of a ceramic pot are inevitable. One of the most common causes of water management failure is root rot caused by excessive water consumption.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a plant cultivator that is easy to manage and does not require planting and soiling and does not require replanting.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the plant roots were devised so as to stick to the dome-shaped mesh-like or porous solid outer wall, and this surface was covered with moss to protect the roots. Then, with the growth of plants and moss, the inventor invented such that the roots extended on and into the outer wall and integrated with the outer wall.

  According to the present invention, there is no need for soil and planting pot, and it is easy to handle as a very light cultivator, and root clogging can be easily prevented by cutting and organizing the roots in the outer wall. In addition, the moss on the outer wall kept beautiful green year round and the appreciation value was greatly improved. Since the inside of the outer wall is hollow, there is no need to worry about root rot even if it is placed in a saucer filled with water and controlled to be overhumid. Also, root clogging can be easily solved by cutting and organizing the roots in the hollow.

  A dome-shaped net made of stainless steel that does not deteriorate over time is used as the outer wall, and a root cloth is attached to the outer wall so that the roots of plants and moss can easily stick to the surface and can be rehydrated. Several months have passed since moss was pasted. Always keep the saucer filled with water.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the device of the present invention. It is stuck and fixed in the root and outer wall of the plant. By placing it on a saucer filled with water, the moss absorbs water, replenishes the roots of the plant and keeps the inside of the outer wall in an appropriate humidity state, thus ensuring an optimal growth environment. No soil or plant pots are used, and the inside of the cultivator is hollow, so it is light, and even if it is always kept with water in the tray, it will not cause root rot due to overhumidity, making management extremely simple.

Although the present incubator can achieve its purpose if it is managed by placing it on a very common dish that can store water as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, it is deep in the application 1 of the embodiment of FIG. Using a saucer, put a petri dish in a size that can secure a gap that can cause capillary action so that the bottom is on top, so that water is supplied to the outer wall through the gap did. Thereby, the frequency | count of water replenishment can be reduced. If you plant a lot of plants or attach stones, character goods, etc., you can make various types of growers by flattening the top of the outer wall. The main feature of this grower is that it is very light, and a variety of displays are possible if it is supported by a circular ring or placed on a wine glass. The outer wall uses a stainless steel net, but in other embodiments, if it is porous or mesh-like, it may be a hard plastic, earthenware, or composite material. A coarse cloth with easy fibers may be used.

A concave part was provided on the outer wall so that bulbs could be cultivated. As with application 1 of the embodiment, in order to reduce the number of times water is supplied, a deep saucer that can store a large amount of water is used, and a sponge with high water absorption is provided on the outer periphery of the cylinder provided for the purpose of preventing lateral displacement of the cultivator. Was buried and water was replenished.

Claims (1)

A plant cultivator characterized in that a root of a cultivated plant and moss for protecting the cultivated plant are attached to a dome-shaped mesh-like or porous outer wall and grown. By making the outer wall hollow, even if it is placed in a saucer filled with water and managed to be overhumid, it is a mechanism that supplies appropriate oxygen and moisture to the roots of the plant, and it is hard to rot and is light. Easy to manage
