Description

  The present invention relates to an aquatic plant growing set, and more particularly to an aquatic plant growing set that can be easily grown and used for appreciation, and that can be easily replanted and changed in layout.

  Recently, in order to enrich the living space, aquariums have been installed in homes and offices to raise appreciation fish or grow aquatic plants for viewing.

  Such aquatic plants are generally difficult to cultivate, so in specialized stores, etc., aqua tanks are planted with soil (baked earth) or large straw (gravel) in the aquarium, and the aquarium is filled with water. From the attached carbon dioxide generator It was carried out by supplying carbon dioxide gas into the water to grow aquatic plants, taking out the aquatic plants in the aquarium if necessary and putting them in a bag, taking them home and office, taking out the aquatic plants from the bag and transplanting them, The equipment is expensive and it is difficult to prepare for a home or office.

  In contrast, soil and large cocoons are placed on the bottom of small transparent containers to plant water plants and fill them with water, while phosphate and oxygen-generating tablets are added to generate carbon dioxide and promote the growth of water plants. In addition, an aquatic plant growing set that can be used as it is for viewing has been proposed (Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-253064

  However, in the aquatic plant breeding set described in Patent Document 1, when replanting aquatic plants or changing the layout, it is necessary to replant soil or large ridges to replant aquatic plants, which is very troublesome.

  In view of such problems, the present invention is to provide an aquatic plant growing set that can be easily grown and used for appreciation, and that can be easily replanted and changed in layout. And

  Therefore, the aquatic plant growing set according to the present invention is a water plant growing set used for growing aquatic plants, and is fitted in a water tank in which an upper part is opened and water can be stored, and the water tank can be pulled out from above the water tank. A base partitioned into a plurality of holding spaces, a base fitted into the plurality of holding spaces of the base and capable of spreading the roots of aquatic plants; And a gas diffusion box capable of diffusing the carbon dioxide gas from the bottom opening to the water in the water tank.

  One of the features of the present invention is that a plurality of holding spaces are formed in the base, a base of aquatic plants is fitted into the holding space, and the base is fitted into the bottom of the water tank.

  Thus, when replanting aquatic plants or changing the layout, the aquatic plants can be easily replanted by removing the base from the aquarium, removing the base from its holding space and replacing the aquatic plants. The layout can be easily changed by moving to another holding space.

  In addition, it is only necessary to pull out the base from the base and fit it in, and it is not necessary to dig up the soil and the ridge.This eliminates the hassle of transferring plants and changing the layout, and the soil and ridge are not agitated. Can reduce and suppress the turbidity.

  Furthermore, if aquatic plants grow too much during growing, they need to be trimmed with scissors. The aquatic plant growing set described in Patent Document 1 is complicated because it is necessary to perform trimming in water. In contrast, in the present invention, aquatic plants can be trimmed in the atmosphere by pulling out the base from the water tank.

  Another feature of the present invention is that a gas diffusion box is provided in the water tank so that carbon dioxide gas is diffused from the gas diffusion box into the water in the water tank. Thus, the growth of aquatic plants can be promoted, and a carbon dioxide generator, a low-pressure gas cylinder of carbon dioxide and a simple carbon dioxide generator need only be prepared, and an expensive carbon dioxide generator is not required. A training set can be easily installed at home or office, and aquatic plants can be easily grown at home or office.

  The material of the water tank is not particularly limited as long as it can store water. For example, the water tank can be made of acrylic resin or glass. The aquarium may be opaque, but if it is made of a transparent or translucent material, it can be used for viewing aquatic plants.

  The base is not particularly limited as long as it can be partitioned into a plurality of holding space portions, and can be made of an appropriate plastic material, for example. Further, the base may be bottomed or may be bottomless. However, considering that it is preferable that the carbon dioxide gas from the gas diffusion box is diffused from the bottom side of the base, the base should be bottomless, and there is no gap between the bottom of the base and the bottom of the water tank. It is preferable to interpose a spacer on the base or the water tank so as to be formed.

  Moreover, although a porous soft material, for example, sponge, can be used for the base, other materials, for example, woven fabric or non-woven fabric can also be used.

  When using a porous soft material such as sponge, it is better to make a cut on the upper surface of the base, and insert the root of the aquatic plant in the cut into the holding space of the base so that the aquatic plant can be held securely and the aquatic plant Can be easily rooted in the foundation.

  If the gas diffusion box is sealed at the top and the bottom is opened, carbon dioxide from a carbon dioxide source, for example, a low-pressure gas cylinder, can be supplied to diffuse the carbon dioxide from the bottom to the water in the water tank. The material of the gas diffusion box is not particularly limited, and can be manufactured using, for example, a plastic material.

  The gas diffusion box may be provided separately from the base, and each gas diffusion box may be set in the water tank, or may be manufactured integrally and attached to the water tank at the same time.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on specific examples. 1 to 5 show a preferred embodiment of an aquatic plant growing set according to the present invention. In the figure, a water tank 10 is manufactured in a rectangular parallelepiped shape having an upper surface opened using a transparent acrylic resin material, and a base 20 is fitted in the water tank 10.

  The base 20 is made of a suitable plastic material, and is manufactured in a form partitioned into a plurality of holding space portions 21 by a partition plate, and the base 20 is provided with a gas diffusion box 30. The gas diffusion box 30 includes a gas generation tank (low pressure gas cylinder) 32 that can be sealed by a lid 31 and a gas reservoir tank 33, and the gas generation tank 32 and the gas reservoir tank 33 are connected by a pipe 34. The bottom surface of the gas reservoir 33 is opened so that carbon dioxide gas and water in the water tank 10 can come into contact with each other.

  A base 40 is detachably fitted into the holding space portion 21 of the base 20, and the base 40 is manufactured in a rectangular parallelepiped shape using a porous soft material, for example, sponge, and a cut 41 is arbitrarily formed on the upper surface thereof. The root of the aquatic plant 50 is sandwiched in the cut 41.

  In addition, a spacer portion 11 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 10 to maintain a gap with the bottom of the base 20.

  When cultivating the aquatic plants 50, the cuts 41 of the base 40 are opened, the roots of the aquatic plants 50 are grasped with fingers or tweezers, and are sandwiched between the open cuts 41, and the bases 40 are fitted into the holding space portion 21 of the base 20. . Similarly, the base 20 on which the aquatic plants 50 are set is fitted into the other holding space portion 21.

  When the base 20 on which the aquatic plants 50 are set is fitted into the water tank 10 through the upper surface opening of the water tank 10 and is pushed in until the bottom of the base 20 hits the spacer 11, the bottom of the water tank 10 is reached.

  Next, the gas diffusion box 30 is set in the water tank 10, and water is poured into the water tank 10 to a predetermined height with the lid 31 of the gas diffusion box 30 opened. Also, water is poured into the gas diffusion box 30 to a predetermined height, and a carbon dioxide gas generation source 60 is introduced. As soon as the carbon dioxide generating source 60 is turned on, the lid 31 is closed firmly. Carbon dioxide gas generated in the gas generation tank 32 passes through the pipe 34 and accumulates in the gas storage tank 33.

  The carbon dioxide supplied to the water in the gas diffusion box 30 diffuses upward through the base 40 of the base 20 from the gap between the base 20 and the bottom of the water tank 10, whereby carbon dioxide is given to the aquatic plants 50, The growth of the aquatic plants 50 can be promoted.

  The carbon dioxide generating source 60 is input once a day. After the carbon dioxide generation source 60 has been input a predetermined number of times, the water in the gas generation tank 32 is replaced.

  When the aquatic plants 50 are transferred, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the base 20 is pulled upward from the bottom of the water tank 10, the base 20 can be lifted from the water. When removed from 20, the aquatic plants 50 can be removed from the base 40 and transplanted.

  In addition, when the base 40 on which the aquatic plants 50 are set is fitted into another holding space portion 21, the layout of the aquatic plants 50 can be changed.

  Further, when the aquatic plants 50 are excessively stretched, the aquatic plants 50 can be easily trimmed by lifting the base from the water.
