It has become to.
Therefore, in today's potted plant market, products that attract customers through olfaction as well as vision have been demanded.

However, since plants are living organisms, they always grow and change. The plant pot producers calculate the time when the pot plant reaches the consumer, and ship the plant so that the plant pot plants are lined up in the store just before or when the plant is most beautiful and attractive.
For this reason, many pot plants sold at stores are beginning to bloom or are being cultivated.

In such a situation, a tag with a comment attached with a photograph of a state in which the plant has grown is generally used as a means for conveying the charm of the plant.
However, it has been difficult to sufficiently convey the smell of the plant, the theme of the pot plant, and the image to the purchaser only by such visual confirmation.

Moreover, as a cause that hinders the sales of potted plants, the purchaser feels uncomfortable due to insect pests. If there are pests on a potted plant in the store, no matter how attractive the plant is, buyers will immediately lose their willingness to purchase. In order to remove such pests, it is necessary to spread insecticides on plants.
However, organophosphorus pesticides are often used as insect repellents and insecticides for controlling pests, and measures for avoiding poisoning by pesticides are necessary in the distribution work.
In addition, the smell of these pesticides is often unpleasant for humans. For this reason, the smell which generate | occur | produces in the distribution work of an agrochemical has troubled the producer and seller of a plant.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an aromatic piece of the present invention.
As shown in the figure, the aromatic piece 1a is a piece of paper having a rectangular thin flat plate shape. Although the shape and size are not particularly limited, in this embodiment, a thick paper having a thickness of about 2 mm formed into a rectangle having a length of 100 mm and a width of 20 mm is used. As the material, a material having a high water absorption property is preferable, and it is preferable to use a cardboard used for a coaster or the like.
The aromatic piece of the present invention may be made of a water-absorbing or oil-absorbing material and is not limited to paper. For example, cloth, non-woven fabric, wood, unglazed pottery, natural resin, synthetic resin, or the like can be used as a material that can be impregnated with liquid other than paper.

The fragrance piece 1a is impregnated with a fragrance, and the fragrance is released from the fragrance piece 1a into the air.
Various fragrance | flavors can be used, for example, natural fragrance | flavor and synthetic fragrance | flavor are used. As the fragrance, either a water-soluble fragrance or a fat-soluble fragrance can be used as long as it can penetrate into the fragrance, and a liquid fragrance containing fine aromatic fine particles may be used.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which an aromatic piece is inserted into a potted plant. The flower pot 2 is filled with soil 3, and the soil 3 is planted with plants 4.
The shape of the flower pot 2 may be a polygon such as a triangle or a quadrangle, or an ellipse. In addition, the material of the flower pot 2 may be various materials such as unglazed, plastic, metal, and glass. Furthermore, a gardening container such as a vinyl pot or a planter container may be used in place of the flower pot 2, and these are collectively referred to as the flower pot 2 in the present application.
As shown in FIG. 2, the fragrance piece 1a is used by inserting a part of the fragrance piece 1a into the soil 3 as a buried portion and fixing it. The fragrance piece 1a only needs to have a length and a size that can secure an fragrance portion for allowing the fragrance to drift from the fragrance piece into the air and an embedded portion for inserting the fragrance piece into the soil. In the fragrance piece 1 a shown in FIG. 1, there is no distinction between the structure of the buried portion and the fragrance portion, and the entire fragrance piece 1 a emits fragrance. If one end of the fragrance piece 1 a is inserted into the soil 3, The area buried inside becomes the buried part.
The hardness of the fragrance piece 1a is desirably a hardness that can maintain the shape without breaking when the fragrance piece 1a is inserted into the soil 3.
In addition, in the case of a flowerpot in which a hole for inserting a plant name plate is provided on the edge of the container, such as a planter container, the aromatic piece 1a is inserted into the hole for the name plate, not the soil 3, and fixed. May be.

As the fragrance of the fragrance, the fragrance of a flower such as rose, betel, ume, lavender or gardenia is used.
In particular, it is preferable to use a flower fragrance that matches the type of the plant 4 planted in the flower pot 2. When the aromatic piece 1 a is inserted into the soil 3, the purchaser has an illusion that the plant 4 smells like a flower. Then, invited by the smell of the flower, the buyer is attracted to the potted plant 20a, picks up the potted plant and purchases it.
As one example of use, the aromatic piece 1a of the present invention is used for a potted plant 20a in which a plant before a seedling or a flower is planted. In general, a flowery scent drifts from a potted plant, but leaves, branches, stems, and buds do not smell. However, even if it is a plant before a flower blooms, if the aromatic piece which the fragrance of the flower uses is used, it can tell a buyer what kind of fragrance flower will bloom in the plant in the future.
For example, in the potted plant 20a planted with gardenia, the aromatic piece 1a using gardenia flower fragrance is used to convey the smell of gardenia flowers to the purchaser even in the state before the flower blooms. Can do.

Moreover, you may utilize the aromatic piece 1a with respect to the plant 4 with the weak fragrance even if a flower blooms as another example.
For example, the scent of Suzuran has only a weak fragrance that cannot be recognized without bringing your nose close to the flower. Therefore, the fragrance | flavor which concentrated the scent of the flower of Suzuran and strengthened the smell is made to absorb in the aromatic piece 1a, and the aromatic piece 1a is inserted in the potted plant 20a of Suzuran.
As a result, the fragrance of the enhanced suzuran flower drifts from the fragrance piece 1a, so that the purchaser can recognize the scent without bringing his nose close to the suzuran flower.
If the purchaser recognizes the scent as a good scent, he purchases the potted plant 20a to enjoy the scent of the flower. Thus, the fragrance piece 1a of the present invention has an effect of increasing the purchase intention of the purchaser with respect to the potted plant 20a.

In the above example, although the case where the fragrance | flavor of the same kind as the plant 4 planted in the potted plant 20a was used was shown, this invention is not limited to these.
Naturally, the fragrance | flavor of the flower different from the plant planted by the pot plant 20a can also be used.
For example, you may insert the aromatic piece 1a which smells a rose with respect to the pot plant 20a which planted the chrysanthemum. Moreover, you may use the aromatic piece 1a which has a fragrance of a flower with respect to the plant generally recognized as hardly flowering like a money tree.

The scent used for the potted plant 20a need not be limited to the scent of a plant flower.
For example, it is also possible to use citrus fruits such as orange, lemon and grapefruit, herbs such as mint, basil, cinnamon, rosemary and cypress, food flavorings such as vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, melon, grape and coffee. .
These scents are pleasant scents for some people. When the aromatic piece 1a containing these fragrances is inserted into the potted plant 20a, the purchaser is drawn to the display place of the plant potted plant 20a because of the urge to confirm the origin of the fragrance.
Especially in stores and stores, display shelves and passages are often arranged in a complex manner. For this reason, in order for a purchaser to visually grasp a product, it is necessary to approach a distance of about 1 to 2 m from the display place of the product.
However, the potted plant 20a provided with the fragrance piece 1a of the present invention can float the fragrance over a wide range regardless of an obstacle such as a display shelf. As a result, even if the purchaser does not visually confirm the potted plant 20a, the purchaser can notice its presence by smell.
As described above, the present invention has an effect of increasing the customer suction power of potted plants in stores or in stores.

Moreover, when a fragrance is desired in the room like aromatherapy, the potted plant 20a into which the fragrance piece 1a having a favorite fragrance is inserted may be placed in the room. A person who likes fragrance has so far sown aroma oil and aroma candle, but selling potted plants 20a provided with the aromatic pieces 1a also motivates those people to purchase the potted plants 20a as aroma products.
Furthermore, it can also be used when placing potted plants in merchandise stores or restaurants.
For example, the scent of coffee in a coffee shop, the scent of lavender in a general store, the scent of cypress in a furniture store, the scent of vanilla in a cake store, and the like are preferable scents.
Therefore, in a merchandise store or restaurant, it becomes a motivation to purchase a potted plant 20a in which an aromatic piece 1a emitting a fragrance suitable for the fragrance of the store is inserted. If the potted plant 20a with the aromatic piece 1a of the scent of coffee is placed in the coffee shop and the potted plant 20a with the fragrant piece 1a of the cypress scent is placed in the furniture store, the store will be a natural interior for the customer. Aroma effect can be exerted without being noticed. In addition, the various fragrances of these aromatic pieces also have an effect of promoting sales of products handled at various restaurants and retail stores.

It is also possible to select a fragrance according to the theme of the potted plant.
The potted plant 20b shown in FIG. 3 shows an example of the usage mode of the aromatic piece, and is a potted plant imitating a short cake. In this potted plant 20b, a short plant 6 is planted in a flowerpot 5 having a fan-shaped bottom plate having a central angle of about 45 degrees. Around the flower pot 5, a plastic film 7 on which a cute pattern or pattern used for packaging cake confectionery is wrapped is wrapped around a cake dish 16.
By inserting the aromatic piece 1a infiltrated with the vanilla fragrance into such a potted plant 20b, it is possible to make the purchaser have a stronger image of a real short cake in combination with the outer shape.

Furthermore, you may add an insect repellent to a fragrance | flavor.
Insects such as flies, flies and cockroaches have the property of being attracted by the smell of food and sweet scents. For this reason, if it is an aromatic piece impregnated only with the fragrance | flavor, it will be attracted to the fragrance and a fly or the like may gather in the pot plant of a plant.
However, if such an insect approaches a potted plant, the purchaser feels uncomfortable and loses the willingness to purchase the potted plant.
Therefore, a substance that emits an odor that insects such as fly flies hate is added to the fragrance as an insect repellent. By adding the insect repellent, the fragrance releases the smell that the insects dislike from the fragrance, so that the fly does not come close to the potted plant.

Neem oil can be used as the insect repellent of the present invention.
Neem is a kind of tree or sendan in India. Neem is rich in the active ingredient “Azadirachtin”, which has an insect repellent effect, and has been indispensable for agriculture in India since ancient times.
Neem oil produced from the seeds of Neem has been used since ancient times as a treatment for traditional Ayurveda medicine in India, hepatic drugs in India, analgesics and intestinals in China, analgesics and blood effect drugs in the United States. Has been used as a raw material.
In addition, crushed leaves and fruits are laid down for food storage, and branches are used for toothpaste.
In this way, neem is a natural material that is safe for the human body. Moreover, neem is harmless to beneficial insects and exerts a strong repellent effect only on pests. Neem is truly a safe “agrochemical” of natural materials.
Neem has been found to have the following characteristics.
・ Environment friendly because it is non-toxic and biodegradable.
・ It is not neurotoxic action (killing) but pest avoidance and control by eating disorder.
・ Inhibits spawning and hatching of pests.
・ Because it does not kill beneficial insects, natural enemies remain.
・ Not resistant to pests.
Because of these advantages, neem has already become mainstream in pest control in Western agricultural advanced countries. In European and American agricultural advanced countries, neem oil produced by squeezing the fruits of neem is used as a foliar spray, and neem granules, the squeezed residue, are used as a soil spray.
The Nihon Nogyo Shimbun (attached to April 20, 1999) stated that (neem's) "Azatylactin is a component of insects such as mites, locusts and cockroaches that kill animals, or kills them during molting by acting on hormones during the larval stage. It is also effective against Nematoda (soil nematode).

The amount of neem oil added to the fragrance is 1% to 10% of the liquid impregnated in the aromatic piece. Although it depends on the kind of the fragrance, preferred blends are 95 to 98% for the fragrance and 2 to 5% for the neem oil in order to obtain an insect repellent effect without making the human smell of neem oil.
The aromatic piece 1a of the present invention does not attract insects against plants such as aphids and spider mites due to the effect of neem oil. Furthermore, neem oil has the effect of inhibiting the pest's egg laying and hatching, and has the effect of preventing the pest's egg laying and hatching contained in the soil.
Therefore, the aromatic piece 1a of the present invention can also prevent the pests that affect the plant itself from adhering to the plant.
The insect repellent to be added to the fragrance is not limited to neem oil, but can be used as long as it is a substance that emits a smell that is harmful to pests, flies, cockroaches, and plants, and besides neem oil, eucalyptus lemon and citronella, Herbs such as geranium can also be used.

Furthermore, it is good to add volatile substances, such as ethanol, to a fragrance | flavor. Ethanol promotes the release of fragrances and insect repellents due to its volatile effects.
As a result, the fragrance pieces to which the volatile substance is added can emit more perfume and insect repellent in the air in a shorter period of time than when the volatile substance is not added. Thus, the fragrance | flavor piece which added the volatile substance can exert the effect of a fragrance continuously over a wide range, even if it is an open and wide space like a shop front.
In general, the period during which the potted plant can maintain the commercial value at the store is 5 to 7 days after the potted plant is received.
Considering this, the amount of ethanol added to the perfume is appropriate to increase the fragrance power over a period of about 10 days. The blending ratio of the fragrance, neem oil, and ethanol for realizing such a fragrance is 68 to 70% fragrance, 2-3% neem oil, and 28-30% ethanol.

The fragrance piece 1a of the present invention is produced by immersing a piece of paper made of a water-absorbing or oil-absorbing material in a fragrance mixed solution in which a fragrance, an insect repellent, and a volatile substance are mixed, and allowing the piece of paper to absorb the fragrance mixed solution.
As described above, cloth, non-woven fabric, wood, unglazed pottery, natural resin, synthetic resin, and the like can be used in addition to the piece of paper. The fragrance may be a water-soluble fragrance or a fat-soluble fragrance, and may be a natural fragrance or a synthetic fragrance.

The fragrance piece 1a may be impregnated with the fragrance mixed solution in the entire fragrance piece, but the fragrance portion where the fragrance mixed solution inserted in the soil 3 is not impregnated with the fragrance mixed solution and is exposed to the air to float the fragrance. Only the perfume mixed solution may be impregnated.
In the process of producing the aromatic piece, the buried portion inserted into the soil of the aromatic piece may be impregnated with a fat-soluble fragrance, and the aromatic portion exposed to the air may be impregnated with a water-soluble fragrance. Alternatively, the buried portion may be impregnated with a synthetic resin such as plastic, and only the aromatic portion may be impregnated with a water-soluble or fat-soluble fragrance.
In this way, by making the buried portion inserted into the soil water-insoluble, it is possible to prevent the fragrance from flowing out into the soil from the aromatic piece.

When the fragrance of the fragrance piece 1a is weakened, the fragrance of the fragrance piece 1a can be recovered by dipping in the fragrance mixture again.
In this embodiment, the fragrance piece 1a is made of a water-absorbing or oil-absorbing material and the fragrance piece 1a is impregnated with a fragrance, but the fragrance piece itself may be formed of an aromatic material.

In the past, the scent of a flower could only be enjoyed for a period of time even when it had a fragrance. Also, many flowers cannot feel the scent itself.
However, by attaching an aromatic piece to the flower seedling pod or flower seedling pot, the three sensations of the scent (sense of smell), the appearance of the flower growing (visual sense), and the tactile sensation (touch) by touching the hand can be achieved. Accordingly, it becomes possible to provide a sedative effect and a wakefulness effect to a purchaser of a potted plant.

[At the flower shop]
Further, according to the present invention, the fragrance emanating from the fragrance piece 1a stimulates the olfactory sense of the purchaser at the sales floor selling pot plants. As a result, the smell of plants, the theme of potted plants, the image, etc. can be transmitted to the purchaser through the sense of smell, and the willingness to purchase plants for potted plants can be enhanced.
In addition, the scent drifting from the potted plant 20a provided with the fragrance piece 1a drifts over a wide range without being obstructed by obstacles such as a display shelf of goods. For this reason, even if there is a purchaser in a position where the potted plant 20a cannot be visually confirmed, the presence can be noticed by the sense of smell. Therefore, the present invention can enhance the advertising / advertising effect of potted plants in stores.
According to the present invention, as described above, the scent of sweet sweets drifts in the flower counter, increases the ability to attract customers, increases the consumption of potted plants, and improves the number of purchases at the counter.
In addition, the scent of neem, which cannot be detected by human sense of smell, has a repellent effect on more than 200 types of pests such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, aphids, spider mites, and slips and keeps the pests away. You can also keep feeling.

[In the production and training of plants]
The present invention can be used not only at the time of shipment of potted plants, but also at the time of plant production and cultivation. The attaching operation of the fragrance piece 1a is as simple as inserting the fragrance piece 1a into the soil 3 of the flower pot 2. For this reason, this invention can reduce significantly the effort of the distribution work of an insecticide and an insecticide in the former producer.
In the cultivation of flowers, the cultivation period of 2 months to 3 months is required from the planting time to the time when the flowers bloom, but the effect of neem oil and aroma lasts for more than 2 months. For this reason, by using aromatic pieces, it is possible to reduce pesticide cultivation by reducing the number of spraying of agricultural chemicals to plants from 5 times to 1 time. In addition, environmentally friendly flower cultivation is possible.
In addition, the fragrance of sweets fills the greenhouse where plants are grown. This fragrance has the effect of calming the mood by producing “aromacology” for producers and workers who produce plants. As a result, the work efficiency of the worker is improved. In addition, “incorporating fragrance into the living space for a rich life” is called “aromacology”.

  As described above, the invention according to Example 1 is an aromatic piece that emits a scent disliked by fragrances and insects, for burying the aromatic piece in soil, or for hooking the aromatic piece on a plant It is an aromatic piece characterized in that it has at least one of the latching portions.
