Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a container for cultivation such as a flower pot and a planter.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Cultivation containers such as flower pots and planters are widely used to grow flowers by putting soil in them. And these cultivation containers are made of ceramic or plastic.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, all conventional containers for cultivation have the drawback that the condition of soil, the condition of moisture in the soil, the condition of root development, etc. cannot be known from the outside because the outer walls are all made of a non-transparent material.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a cultivation container whose inside can be seen.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the invention of claim 1 is characterized in that a part or all of the outer wall of the container is made of a transparent material, and a drainage hole is provided in the lower part. The invention of claim 2 is characterized in that the cultivation container is a flower pot or a planter.

The invention of claim 3 is characterized in that the transparent material is made of plastic or glass.

[0007]

[Embodiment of device]

 According to the container for cultivation of the present invention, the amount of water in the soil when irrigating is known from the outside of the container for cultivation by the color of the soil or the like, and neither excessive water supply nor excessive water supply occurs. A plant is bad for root growth unless the soil is too hard and it is in the so-called aggregate state. The container for cultivation of the present invention is convenient because it can be seen from the outside only by looking at the aggregated state.

The entire outer wall of the container may be made of a transparent material, or only a part thereof may be made of a transparent material. Examples of transparent materials include polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, plastics such as acrylic resin, and transparent glass.

The cultivation container of the present invention needs to be provided with a drain hole at the bottom. Without drainage holes, the soil is prone to excess water and plant root rot is likely to occur. The shape of the drainage hole may be any shape. A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a usage state. The outer wall 2 and the bottom surface 3 of the flower pot 1 integrally molded of transparent polycarbonate resin are transparent. A drain hole 4 is provided at the center of the bottom surface. In order to use the plant pot 1 having such a configuration, it is sufficient to put soil in the plant and plant the plant 5 as shown in FIG. Then, since the outer wall 2 is transparent, the condition of the soil and the condition of the root can be clearly seen from the outside.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is a planter 11 made of transparent glass, whose bottom surface 3 has a double structure, and its top surface 6 is provided with a large number of drainage holes 4. The water that has entered through the drainage hole 4 is configured to be discharged to the outside through the drainer 7. Also in this example, when soil is put in the plant and a plant is planted, the condition of the soil and the condition of the root of the plant can be clearly understood from the outside.

FIG. 4 is a front view of a third embodiment of the present invention. Most of the flower pot 1 of this embodiment is made of bisque, but a window 8 made of a transparent acrylic resin plate is provided in a vertical direction on a part of the outer wall. When a plant is cultivated using this flower pot 1, the state inside can be seen from the window 8.

FIG. 5 is a front view of the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Most of the flowerpot 1 of this embodiment is made of colored polyethylene, but a window 9 is provided in the central part in which a thick ring-shaped polyethylene film is attached in the horizontal direction. From this window 9, the inner state can be seen as in the above-mentioned embodiment.

FIG. 6 is a front view of the fifth embodiment of the present invention. Most of the flowerpot 1 of this embodiment is made of thick recycled paper, and celluloid is attached to the center to form the window 10. This flower pot 1 is made of all natural materials, and it will be corroded if it is buried in the soil after use, so it is convenient to treat after use.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 As described above in detail, since the outer wall of the container for cultivation of the present invention is transparent at least partly, the condition of the soil inside and the condition of the root of the plant can be clearly understood.
