Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a container for breeding and appraisal, which enables plants and other plants to be easily grown and viewed indoors.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Various ornamental plants are sold and installed indoors. Some of these are sold in the form of saplings or bulbs, and the purchaser intends to raise and appreciate them indoors. In such cases, the plants are usually sold in a plant pot filled with culture soil, with seedlings and bulbs planted.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Here, aquatic plants, etc. are in demand as ornamental plants because they can enjoy roots, stems, leaves on the water surface, and flowers in water. Such aquatic plants can be raised and viewed indoors using a transparent aquarium.

However, hitherto, no device has been proposed that allows ordinary people to easily grow and appreciate aquatic plants.

An object of the present invention is to propose a device that allows easy raising and viewing of aquatic plants indoors, focusing on this point.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the container for growing and appreciating a plant of the present invention adopts the following configurations (1) to (4).

(1) A transparent container in which water can be poured and stored from the top opening (2) Plants such as tubers and rhizomes arranged at the bottom of the transparent container (3) This plant is the bottom of the transparent container A fixing member for fixing it so that it does not move from a predetermined position due to buoyancy (4) This fixing member and the plant fixed by this to the bottom of the transparent container are germinated. Granules for blindfolds to cover up so that only part is exposed

Here, an adhesive can be used as the fixing member. Alternatively, it is possible to employ fixed sand that is fixed in a certain shape with an adhesive or the like in a water-permeable state. By fixing the plant to the bottom of the transparent container with the fixing member, it is possible to prevent the plant from rising from the bottom due to buoyancy when water is poured into the transparent container. In addition, the plant is held at a predetermined position on the bottom of the container, usually in the center.

When the bottom of the container has a circular shape, the following fixing member may be used in order to easily install the plant at the center position of the circular bottom surface. That is, as the fixing member, one having a mounting portion for mounting the plant body and a plurality of leg portions having the same length and extending radially outward from the mounting portion may be adopted.

Generally, colored sand may be used as the blindfold granules. Then, this should be laid on the bottom of the container to a certain thickness.

Next, it is preferable that a lid is detachably attached to the upper end opening of the transparent container so that it can be closed after water is injected into the container. In this case, one or more vent holes may be formed in the lid in order to ensure air permeability.

On the other hand, in order to promote the growth of plants, it is desirable to use a fertilizer such as a growth promoter. Such fertilizer may be introduced from the upper end opening of the container, but may be mixed in advance with the fixing member or the blindfold granular material, for example. Alternatively, it may be attached to the bottom surface of the container.

[0013]

[Action]

 First, the plant body attached to the fixing member is set to the bottom of the transparent container through the upper end opening. When the fixing member is an adhesive, the plant is directly fixed to the bottom of the container with an adhesive. Then fill the bottom with blinding granules to cover them. Next, water is injected through the top opening of the container. After setting in this way, the plant will germinate if placed in a suitable place in the room. Therefore, it is possible to easily view aquatic plants indoors.

Here, since the plant is fixed to the bottom of the container by the fixing member, it does not float up due to buoyancy or the like, or it does not deviate at the bottom of the container.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the state of use of the container for plant cultivation and appreciation of this example. In this figure, a container 1 is placed on a stand 2 of a lighting device for growing plants. Of course, it is possible to grow aquatic plants using only the container 1 without using such a stand 2.

The container 1 includes a cylindrical transparent container 3 and a lid 4 that detachably closes the upper end opening 31. The transparent container 3 may have a shape other than a cylindrical shape. Further, the lid 4 may be opaque. The lid 4 of this example has a vent hole formed at one central position. A large number of holes for ventilation may be provided. On the contrary, there may be a case where the ventilation hole is not provided. Inside the transparent container 3, the bottom 32 is covered with colored sand 5 having a constant thickness. Then, the water plants 71 extending from the plants 7 attached to the fixed sand 6 as the fixing member are covered with the water, and are floating in the water 8 stored in the transparent container. .

As described above, in this example, the plant body 7 and the fixed sand 6 which is a member for fixing the plant body 7 are covered with the layer of the colored sand 5. Therefore, these do not come into direct contact with the eyes of the viewer. Therefore, the appearance is also excellent.

FIG. 2 shows the container 1 in the initial state in a sectional view. As shown in this figure, the bottom 32 of the container 3 is covered with colored sand 5 having a constant thickness, and the sand 5 allows the plant 7 and the plant 7 placed at the center of the bottom 32 of the container to be placed. The fixed sand 6 to which this is attached is covered up.

As a method for fixing the plant body 7, instead of the fixed sand 6, as shown in FIG. 3, the plant body 7 may be directly fixed to the bottom 32 of the container with an adhesive or the like.

Alternatively, a member having the structure shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 can be used. The fixing plate 11 shown in these figures is composed of a hemispherical fixing needle portion 12 at the center and three leg portions 14 of equal length extending radially. The lengths from the center 11a of the fixing plate 11 to the tips of the leg portions 14 are equal. Therefore, if this fixing plate 11 is formed so as to have a size that exactly matches the inner diameter of the bottom 32 of the transparent container 3, it is only necessary to install it on the bottom of the container and the plant attached to it. The body 7 is centered automatically.

As the fixing plate 11, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of plant objects 7 may be installed concentrically. An adhesive may be used as a method for fixing the plant body 7 to the fixing plate 11. Methods other than these can also be adopted.

As described above, the fixing member shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 has a function of fixing the plant body and a function of automatically centering the plant body when placed on the bottom of the container.

Here, the container 1 of the present example configured as described above is sold in a state where each component is set. That is, the transparent container 3 with the lid 4, the fixed sand 6 to which the plants 7 are attached, and the colored sand 5 are sold as a set. Alternatively, in addition to this, fertilizers are sold as a set.

The purchaser of such a container set first opens the lid 4 and installs the fixed sand 6 to which the plant body 7 is attached on the bottom of the transparent container 3. Next, the colored sands 5 are spread, so that the sands are substantially covered. Next, water 8 is poured into the transparent container 3 and stored. After that, the lid 4 may be removed.

In this state, if placed in an appropriate place in the room, the plant 7 germinates and the aquatic plant grows to the state shown in FIG.

The fixed sand 6 may be mixed with fertilizer for promoting aquatic plant growth, for example. By doing this, the fertilizer dissolves in the water after water is injected, and the growth of aquatic plants is promoted.

[0028]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the plant growing and appreciating container of the present invention can be fixed to the bottom of the transparent container so that the plant such as rhizome of aquatic plants does not float up. Further, such a fixed portion is covered with a granular material such as colored sand for blindfolding. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily grow and appreciate water plants and the like in a container, and it is also excellent in appearance.
