Description

  The present invention relates to a flowerpot that suppresses germination of seeds and can efficiently absorb water and nutrients in the medium during cultivation.

  Conventionally, what is disclosed by patent document 1 is known as a flowerpot for planting a plant.

JP 2004-187659 A

  Specifically, this Patent Document 1 uses a flower pot in which a surface of a columnar wood is hollowed and a waterproof treatment is applied to the surface of the hollowed wood that comes into contact with the outside air, and the hollow hollow of the flower pot is hollowed out. The part is filled with predetermined cultivation soil, and plant seeds are mixed inside the cultivation soil. Furthermore, the opening of the flower pot is a disc-shaped wood that can cover the opening, and is covered with a lid provided with a hole at the center. Further, the hollowed out portion is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape.

  The flowerpot having the above-described structure is provided with a waterproof treatment on the surface of the wood surface that comes into contact with the outside air, thereby preventing the evaporation of moisture contained in the wood, supplying the moisture to the soil for cultivation inside the flowerpot, and making it more natural It is supposed to supply water to the plant in a close state.

  By the way, such a flower pot has a problem in that it cannot efficiently use the nutrients of the soil deposited in the corners of the bottom surface of the cylinder because the hollowed portion filled with the soil for cultivation is formed in a cylindrical shape. It was. Furthermore, when selling such flower pots, the seller cannot control the germination of the seeds, so there may be cases where the germination has already occurred when the user purchases the seeds, and the plant is nurtured for the user. Joy decreased.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a flower pot that can suppress seed germination so that the user does not germinate before purchasing the seed. It is another object of the present invention to provide a flower pot that can efficiently absorb water and nutrients from the medium filled in the container to the seeds in the container during cultivation by the user.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a flower pot according to the present invention has a hollow inside, an opening on the surface, and a light-shielding material formed so as not to leak to the outside. It is characterized by comprising a lid that closes the opening and has a light-shielding property, a dried medium filled in the container, and plant seeds contained in the medium.

  According to this configuration, since the medium does not have moisture and the container and the lid have light-shielding properties, it is possible to prevent sunlight and moisture necessary for seed germination from being supplied against the user's will. it can. Therefore, seed germination can be suppressed before the user purchases.

  Furthermore, the container has a shape cut so that a truncated surface is formed at a predetermined height from the center of the sphere, and the lid is a truncated portion of the cut sphere, and forms the lid The inner diameter of the truncated surface is preferably smaller than the inner diameter of the sphere. In this case, it is preferable that the seed is stored in the approximate center of the sphere. With such a configuration, the medium is spherically filled around the seeds, so that water added to the medium and nutrients in the medium can be used efficiently during cultivation.

  The flower pot having the above-described configuration has a shape in which the container is cut by a predetermined truncated surface, so that the nutrients of the medium can be used efficiently, and by adjusting the amount of light and moisture Seed germination and growth can be adjusted by the user.

  The flowerpot having the above-described configuration can suppress seed germination before cultivation, and can efficiently absorb water and nutrients necessary for seed germination and growth from the medium to the seed during cultivation. .

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The flower pot according to the embodiment forms a substantially spherical body when the container and the lid are combined. As shown in FIG. 1, the flower pot according to the embodiment includes a container 10 having a hollow inside and having an opening 11 on the surface, and a lid 20 that closes the opening 11 formed on the surface of the container 10. ing.

  The container 10 is formed by cutting a substantially spherical body having a hollow inside so that a truncated surface is formed at a predetermined height from the center of the spherical body, and a shape having a larger volume including the center of the spherical body before cutting. It is. That is, it is a shape shown by cutting out a part of a sphere and showing the larger volume of the cut sphere. Since this container 10 cut | disconnects the spherical body which made the inside hollow, as shown in FIG. 2, the opening part 11 is formed in the formed truncated surface.

  The container 10 is made of a light-shielding material such as pottery. Moreover, the container 10 is formed so that the water added in the container 10 at the time of cultivation does not leak outside. For example, the container 10 is formed of a material that does not allow water to pass, such as pottery or glass, or is processed so that water does not leak to the inner wall surface or the outer wall surface of the container 10 formed of wood or paper through which water passes. If it is formed so that water does not leak outside the container 10, it is not particularly limited.

  The material for processing the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface is not particularly limited, but is a hydrophobic polymer material such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, polytetrafluoroethylene, glass that does not leak water to the outside, etc. The container 10 can be processed by coating the hydrophilic material.

  The lid 20 that closes the opening 11 of the container 10 is formed by cutting a substantially spherical body having a hollow interior so that a truncated surface is formed at a predetermined height from the center of the spherical body, and the center of the spherical body before the cutting is formed. It is the shape shown by the smaller volume that does not contain. That is, it is a truncated portion when the sphere is cut. The lid 20 is formed of, for example, earthenware having a light shielding property similarly to the container 10, and is preferably formed of the same member as the container 10. Also, the lid 20 may be formed so that water does not leak out like the container 10.

  The inside diameter of the truncated surface of the lid 11 is not particularly limited as long as it is smaller than the inside diameter of the container 10 described above. For example, the lid 10 is covered with the lid 20 so as to have a substantially spherical shape. Preferably it is formed. In this case, a spherical vessel having a hollow interior can be formed by cutting at a predetermined height from the center of the vessel. The larger volume may be used as a container, and the smaller volume may be used as a lid. .

  The flower pot of the present invention is constituted by the container 10 and the lid 11 as described above, and has a medium 30 and seeds 40 inside the container 10 as shown in FIG.

  The medium 30 is filled in the container 10 in a dried state so as not to germinate unless the user intentionally gives water. The amount of the medium 30 filled in the container 10 is not particularly limited as long as the medium 30 does not leak out of the container 10 when the seed 40 and water are supplied. The medium 30 varies depending on the cultivation method, and examples include soil for cultivating with soil and cotton and superabsorbent polymer for hydroponics. And this culture medium 30 may have the nutrient which helps the germination of the seed 40 by a user giving water intentionally as needed.

  The seed 40 is stored so as to be covered with the culture medium 30 filled in the container 10. The seed 40 germinates when the user intentionally supplies water, the supplied water, nutrients in the seed 40 and the medium 30, and light incident from the opening 11 of the container 10. The seed 40 is not particularly limited. In the present invention, the seed 40 is not limited to a seed such as a sunflower or a morning glory seed, but includes a seed generally called a bulb such as a tulip or a hyacinth.

  Since the culture medium 30 of the present invention configured as described above is dried to such an extent that the seed 40 does not germinate, it does not germinate unless the user adds water to the container 10. Moreover, since the container 10 is formed so that water does not leak, entry of water from the outside of the container 10 can be prevented. In addition, the lid 20 placed on the container 10 can prevent water from being supplied against the user's will before the user purchases.

  Furthermore, the container 10 and the lid 20 have a light-shielding property. By covering the container 10 with the lid 20, the seed 40 can be germinated and grown without giving light necessary for germination and growth of the seed 40. Can be suppressed. That is, water and light necessary for germination of the seed 40 are blocked, and germination of the seed 40 can be suppressed before the user purchases the flower pot.

  And after a user purchases the flower pot of this invention, the cover 20 covered on the container 10 is removed, and water is added in the container 10. Thereby, the seed 40 germinates by the water added in the container 10, the nutrient in the seed 40 and the culture medium 30, and the light incident from the opening 11 of the container 10. Therefore, the user can enjoy the growth of plants with this flower pot.

  As described above, the container 10 of the flower pot of the present invention has a shape cut so that a truncated surface is formed at a predetermined height from the center of the sphere, and the lid 20 is formed of the cut sphere. The inside diameter of the truncated surface forming the lid 20 is smaller than the inside diameter of the sphere. That is, the flower pot 30 becomes a sphere, and when the seed 40 is placed near the center of the container 10, the medium 30 is filled in a spherical shape around the seed 40, and water added to the medium 30 and the medium 30 are added. The nutrients inside can be used efficiently.

  And the lid | cover 20 can be covered on the container 10 as needed. That is, the light entering from the opening 11 of the container 10 can be blocked, and the germination and growth of the seed 40 can be adjusted. The germination and growth of the seed 40 can also be adjusted by adjusting the amount of water.

  The flower pot of the present invention is not limited to the above-described ones, and for example, the outer wall surface of the container 10 or the inside of the lid 20 may be provided with a fragrance so as to smell. As the fragrance, when the seed 40 accommodated in the container 10 is a flower seed, it may emit a scent of the flower. Thereby, even before the seed 40 germinates and blooms, the scent of the flower which blooms by cultivating the seed 40 can be enjoyed, and the aromatherapy effect can also be expected.
