Description

  The present invention does not suffer from disposal of waste pots, and a lot of plant pots that are similar in shape so that plants of the same shape can be used continuously, as well as plant pot sets that can be easily replanted. The present invention relates to a package of plant pot sets stored together and a plant replanting method using the plant pot set so that the surroundings are not soiled during replanting.

  When a plant is cultivated in a pot, a flower pot, a planter or the like (hereinafter referred to as a “flower pot or the like”), it is necessary to appropriately replant the plant into a flower pot of an appropriate size according to the growth of the plant.

  For example, seedlings are nurtured in small pots for raising seedlings until they become large after sowing, but after that, they are replanted in large flower pots and the like. Also, in the case of potted plants, if they continue to grow in the same plant pot as they are, root clogging will occur and the growth of the above-ground part will be inhibited, so it will be replanted to a larger flower pot before root clogging occurs ( Pots).

  However, when transplanting a plant seedling grown in a pot for raising seedlings into a large flowerpot, etc., when taking out the seedling from the pot, the potted soil of the seedling collapses and the roots are broken, or soft stems and leaves are There was a problem of breaking and damaging the seedlings. In addition, when planting potted plants, the roots of the clogged plants strongly press the side wall of the flowerpot from the inside, so it is difficult to pull out the plant from the flowerpot. There is also a problem that it is hard work and undesirably damages the plant because it tries to pull out the plant forcibly.

  In order to solve such a problem, for example, in JP-A-7-322770, there is a container that can be easily cultivated by planting a plant in a container that is decomposed in soil and burying it in a cultivation place as it is. Proposed. Similarly, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-191803 also proposes a method for transplanting and cultivating a planting pot for raising seedlings directly in soil.

  However, it is only necessary to replant the container as it is in the cultivated soil place, but depending on the type of plant, there are some that require several replanting. Moreover, in gardening at home, it is not always possible to secure a cultivated soil location, and it is often replanted into a container such as a large flower pot or planter.

  Plant replanting involves putting a little soil in a new flower pot, setting an old pot on which the plant has been planted, and embedding the soil in the gap between the old pot and the new flower pot. It is quite difficult to work while adjusting the amount of soil and the position of the old pot so that a space called a water space is formed on the pot soil. Moreover, if the plant is small like a pot in which seedlings are planted, the corners of the pods grow, and when the plant grows to a certain extent, the position of the plant is adjusted while lifting a heavy plant pot etc. It is necessary to fill the gaps with soil by hand, and the replanting work is very difficult.

  In addition, in order to improve the growth of plants, it is necessary to bury new soil evenly around the pot soil of the plant to be embedded so that the roots of the plant spread evenly. Then, too few places or too many places of soil appear and a bias occurs, and it is necessary to repeat the replanting work many times in order to correct this bias, which is very troublesome.

  In addition, large pots used at the time of replanting are usually made of pottery or resin, and unlike the seedling pots described above, they are not biodegradable, so if further replanting is necessary, This will cause problems during replanting.

  In addition, when planting on the veranda of an apartment, when the plant is pulled out from an old pot or pot, soil may be scattered on the veranda and the surroundings may be soiled, and newspapers are spread on the veranda prior to increasing the pot. There is a trouble.

  In addition, because potted plants are familiar interiors or exteriors, when adding pots, you may not want to change the atmosphere as if you were using old pots. It is necessary to purchase a new bowl, but sometimes it is not possible to purchase the same bowl if the purchase time is different.

JP 7-322770 A JP-A-10-191803

  The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and firstly, it provides a pot set for a plant that can easily and accurately perform replanting work adapted to the growth of the plant any number of times. The second purpose is to provide a plant pot set package in which a large number of substantially similar pots can be prepared. Third, the plant is replanted multiple times. It is an object of the present invention to provide a plant replanting method using a plant pot set that can easily complete a planting operation even when carrying out the process and that does not scatter soil around it.

  The invention described in claim 1 is “comprising a plurality of pots having penetrability of plant roots and different outer diameters, wherein the small-diameter side pot is nested in the large-diameter side pot and the small-diameter side in the accommodated state. The plant pot set 10 is set so as to be short so that the pot does not jump out of the large-diameter pot, and the bottom inner surface of the large-diameter pot has a bottom portion of the small-diameter pot disposed therein. A raised portion that fits into a recessed portion that protrudes inside a small-diameter pot provided on the lower surface and contacts the recessed portion is formed, and a communication groove that communicates the inside and outside of the raised portion in the contact state is the raised portion The plant pot set 10 is characterized in that it is provided on the plant.

  The invention described in claim 2 is a plant pot set 10 characterized in that “the contact portion between the raised portion and the concave portion is formed in a tapered shape that gradually decreases in diameter in the insertion direction”. is there.

  The invention described in claim 3 is the plant pot set 10 characterized in that “the material of each pot 12 is a pulp mold containing wood fibers”.

  The invention described in claim 4 is composed of the nested plant pot set 10 described in any one of claims 1 to 3 and a packaging material in which the plant pot set 10 is packaged. It is the package of the pot set 10 for plants characterized by the above.

  The invention described in claim 5 is the following: “Grow plant P using the small-diameter side pot constituting the plant pot set 10 according to any one of claims 1 to 3, and the replanting time of the plant P is When it arrives, the small pot in which the plant P is planted is accommodated inside the large-diameter pot, and the raised portion of the large-diameter pot is fitted into the recess provided on the bottom bottom surface of the small-diameter pot. Then, the soil is filled in the gap S between the small-diameter side pot and the large-diameter side pot ”.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the outer surface of the bottom portion of the small-diameter side pot fits into the concave portion provided on the inner surface of the bottom portion of the large-diameter side pot that accommodates the small-diameter side pot, and comes into contact with the concave portion. Since the part is formed, just by setting the pot on the small diameter side where the plant is planted inside the pot on the large diameter side that is slightly larger than this, the raised part provided on the bottom outer surface of the small diameter pot The concave portion provided on the inner surface of the bottom of the large-diameter side pot comes into contact with the small-diameter pot and the positioning of the small-diameter side pot with respect to the large-diameter side pot can be easily performed.

  In the state where the small-diameter side pot is housed inside the large-diameter side pot, a gap is formed between both pots. In addition, since the protruding portion of the large-diameter pot, which is a contact portion between the large-diameter side pot and the small-diameter side pot, is provided with a communication groove that communicates the inside and outside of the protruding portion, the small-diameter side pot and the large-diameter side By just filling the gap between the pots, the soil can be distributed evenly on the bottom as well as the side of the small-diameter pot. Therefore, there is no problem that the growth of the root is hindered by the increase in the thickness of the bottom surface and the side wall by overlapping the small diameter pot and the large diameter pot, and there is no place where there is too little or too much soil. There is no need to repeat replanting work.

  In addition, the small-diameter pot is set low so that it does not jump out of the large-diameter pot, so it is possible to secure a water space by simply setting the small-diameter pot inside the large-diameter pot. be able to.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the contact portion between the raised portion and the concave portion is formed in a taper shape, the taper portion serves as a guide for positioning the small-diameter side pot to the large-diameter side pot. The setting is easy.

  According to the invention described in claim 3, since a sparse part is formed when a pot is formed by using a wood fiber coarser than pulp fiber, when the root grows and penetrates each pot. It becomes easy to penetrate. Moreover, since it is a pulp mold whose main raw material is pulp fiber or wood fiber, it has water absorbency and moisture retention and is good for plant growth. Furthermore, since it is a pulp mold whose main raw material is pulp fiber or wood fiber, it is biodegradable, has no environmental impact, and can be discarded as general combustible waste, so there is no problem with disposal of the waste bowl.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, since the small ones are stacked in order from the largest and packaged in such a manner that they are not dispersed, they are compact, easy to handle and easy to carry. By simply taking out the small ones in sequence, you can repot the plant by selecting the optimal size that matches the growth of the plant, and you can continue to use the same type of pot. . Note that the large-diameter pot that is not yet used can be stored as it is in the package.

  According to the invention described in claim 5, since it is not necessary to take out the plant to be replanted from the pot, soil is not scattered and soiled at the time of potting work, and the newspaper is put on the veranda prior to potting. There is no need for time and effort. Furthermore, according to the growth of the plant, it can be easily replanted into a large pot, so even when replanting multiple times, the surrounding soil does not scatter and the replanting work is It is very simple and you can keep using the same shape.

It is sectional drawing of the pot set for plants. It is a partial notch perspective view which shows the state which accommodated the small diameter side pot in the large diameter side pot. It is a figure explaining the replanting method of the plant using the pot set for plants concerning the present invention.

  The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a plant pot set (hereinafter simply referred to as “pot set”) 10 according to the present invention.

  As shown in this figure, the pot set 10 includes a plurality of pots 12 having different outer diameters (four in this embodiment, but may be two, three, or five or more). Is housed in. Here, the pot 12 having the smallest diameter accommodated in the innermost side is the first pot 12a, the outer pot 12 is the second pot 12b, and the outer pot 12 is the third pot 12c. The pot 12 with the largest diameter located on the outermost side is the fourth pot 12d.

  In the present embodiment, as will be described later, since each pot 12 (first pot 12a to fourth pot 12d) is configured to have a substantially similar shape, description of the second pot 12b to fourth pot 12d will be given. In the above description, the description of the first pot 12a is used for the parts common to the description of the first pot 12a. Here, the same reference numerals are given to the same constituent members, and the number of the pot is distinguished by the alphabet attached to the reference numbers.

  The first pot 12a is a pot-shaped member that is integrally formed by a pulp mold, and the thickness of the first pot 12a is substantially the same throughout.

  Since the pulp mold used as the material of the first pot 12a is mainly made of pulp fiber or wood fiber, it has biodegradability and porosity, and is extremely excellent in air permeability and water permeability. Therefore, the 1st pot 12a formed using this pulp mold also has biodegradability and porosity, and is rich in air permeability and water permeability, and has the penetration of a plant root by this water-absorbing swelling. become.

  As described above, the material of the first pot 12a is preferably a pulp mold containing wood fibers. Also in the case of a pulp mold composed only of pulp fibers (that is, a pulp mold of 100% pulp fibers), it absorbs and swells so that it has penetrability of plant roots, but wood fibers are fibers compared to pulp fibers. Therefore, by forming by the pulp mold method, it is possible to form with good productivity while giving more penetrability.

  Further, an additive such as a fiber reinforcing agent may be applied to the outer surface of the first pot 12a as necessary to increase the strength of the base material. You may make it give.

  Furthermore, the method for forming the first pot 12a is not particularly specified, but the productivity is good as long as it is a method of forming integrally, for example, wet pulp molding or press molding. Of course, the bottom surface portion and the side wall portion may be separately formed and combined.

  The center of the bottom of the first pot 12a protrudes inward. The raised portion 14a that protrudes inward has a tapered outer surface such that the peripheral portion has a larger diameter and a smaller diameter toward the center. A central portion of the upper surface of the raised portion 14a is slightly depressed, and a plurality (three in the present embodiment) of communication grooves 16a are formed around the upper surface at a predetermined interval.

  As described above, since the entire first pot 12a is formed with the same thickness, the concave portion 18a having a shape corresponding to the raised portion 14a is formed at the center of the bottom surface of the first pot 12a. Will be.

  If the position of the raised portion 14a is concentrically from the center of the bottom surface of the first pot 12a, not only the appearance balance is good, but the smaller diameter side is placed inside the larger diameter side pot 12b (described later). It will also serve as a landmark when storing the pot. In particular, since there are a plurality of communication grooves 16a, as will be described later, the accommodation position of the small-diameter side pot 12a can be clearly grasped, and can be reliably arranged at the center of the large-diameter side pot 12b.

  Since the second pot 12b is substantially similar to the first pot 12a and the whole is a pot-shaped member formed by a pulp mold like the first pot 12a, the description of each member is as described above. The description will be incorporated.

  The second pot 12b is formed to be slightly larger than the first pot 12a. When the first pot 12a on the small diameter side is accommodated in the second pot 12b on the large diameter side, the second pot on the large diameter side is stored. The protruding portion 14b of 12b is fitted into the concave portion 18a of the first pot 12a on the small diameter side so that both members can come into contact with each other (see FIG. 2).

  Since the second pot 12b on the large diameter side is formed to be slightly larger than the first pot 12a on the small diameter side, the first pot 12a on the small diameter side is accommodated in the second pot 12b on the large diameter side. A gap S for filling the soil is formed between the inner surface of the second pot 12b on the large diameter side and the outer surface of the first pot 12a on the small diameter side.

  The same applies to the third pot 12c and the fourth pot 12d. That is, the third pot 12c functions as a small-diameter side pot in relation to the fourth pot 12d that is larger than this, and functions as a large-diameter side pot in relation to the second pot 12b that is smaller than this (fourth pot). The same applies to 12d). Therefore, the above description is incorporated for description of each member. The third pot 12c is formed in a size that is slightly larger than the second pot 12b, and the fourth pot 12d is formed in a size that is slightly larger than the third pot 12c.

  A method for replanting the plant P using the pot set 10 configured as described above will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 3, if the seedling planted in the small-diameter side pot (here, the first pot 12a) becomes large and it is time to replant it into a larger pot, the plant P is planted. The first pot 12a and a pot on the large diameter side (second pot 12b) that is slightly larger than the first pot 12a are prepared.

  In addition, since the 1st pot 12a is entirely formed with the pulp mold in which wood fiber is contained, as above-mentioned, it has the penetration of a plant root. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the root R of the plant P may pass through and be exposed to the outside from the side surface of the small-diameter side pot (first pot 12a) that has come to be replanted.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the small-diameter side pot (first pot 12a) in which the plant P is planted is accommodated inside the empty large-diameter side pot (second pot 12b), and the second pot 12b that is the large-diameter side. The raised portion 14b is fitted into the concave portion 18a of the first pot 12a on the small diameter side.

  Since the outer surface of the raised portion 14b and the inner surface of the recessed portion 18a are tapered surfaces having the same taper angle, the first planted plant can be obtained simply by fitting the raised portion 14b into the recessed portion 18a and bringing them into contact with each other. Setting of the pot 12a to the second pot 12b is completed (see FIG. 3).

  In this contact state, there is a gap S between the first pot 12a on the small diameter side and the second pot 12b on the large diameter side. The replacement work is complete.

  As described above, the first pot 12a on the small-diameter side and the second pot 12b on the large-diameter side are positioned by fitting the large-diameter-side raised portion 14b into the small-diameter-side recess 18a. However, in this contact state, the gap S between the first pot 12a and the second pot 12b is uniform with no deviation depending on the location. Further, since the communication groove 16b that communicates the inside and the outside of the bulge 14b is formed in the bulge 14b on the large diameter side, the soil filled in the gap S passes through the communication groove 16b to the bottom of the small-diameter pot 12a. The soil can be evenly arranged around the small-diameter pot 12a in which the plant P is planted.

  In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, as a technique for giving each pot 12 (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) the penetrability of the plant root, the entire pot is biodegradable like a pulp mold containing wood fibers. Although it is made of a certain material, if a hole, a slit, or the like is provided on the outer surface or a thin wall portion is formed on the side wall, the penetrability of the plant root is further improved. Further, when holes or slits are formed on the outer surface of the pot 12, for example, a material having no biodegradability such as pulp mold, plastic or earthenware mainly made of rayon or nonwoven fabric is used. It is also possible.

  Furthermore, if the plant pot set 10 is individually packaged with a packaging material to form a package for the plant pot set, it can be easily transported, stored, handled, and sold in stores. In addition, as a kind of packaging material, it is possible to use a well-known thing suitably, such as a synthetic resin bag body, a net body, a shrink film, or a string.
