The present invention provides a fixture for planting a plurality of ornamental flower buds of the same or different types in one pot as pot seedlings.

The fixing tool 1 for planting a plurality of pot seedlings 2 in the flower pot 3 according to the present invention is a fixing tool 1 that is used by being fitted in the flower pot 3 as described in claim 1, and a plurality of the fixing tools 1 are provided from the bottom surface. Are formed at two arcuate surfaces 4a branching from the central top, and the conical protrusions 8 are erected on the opposite arc surface 4a and the center of the bottom surface. The pot 5 of the pot seedling 2 is sandwiched between the side surfaces 8a of each of the two, and the outer peripheral surface 4b of the support column 4 is brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the flower pot 3, and the center of the bottom surface as described in claim 2 The side surfaces 8a of the conical protrusions 8 erected on the surface are formed into a plurality of arc surfaces that are continuous by the number of pot seedlings to be inserted.

Furthermore, as described in claim 3, the bottom surface of the fixture 1 is substantially the same shape as the bottom surface of the flower pot 3, and the support 4 spreads outward as it goes upward from the bottom surface, and the arc surface 4a The distance between them decreases as you go down. Further, as described in claim 4, the spacing between the arcuate surfaces 4a of the support columns 4 is such that the pot 5 of the pot seedling 2 having a diameter of at least 12 cm can be inserted. Further, the outer diameter is narrowed so that the outer diameter of the middle to the lower side of the support column 4 is slightly increased and the middle to upper side is inclined inward.

Further, as described in claim 6, at least as many pot seedlings as the number of pot seedlings and drainage grooves 7 that connect the drainage ports 6 are provided on the bottom surface of the fixture 1. According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, the fixture 1 is a molded product of a resin material such as polystyrene foam or an assembly made of cardboard.

The shape of the fixture is adjusted to the size of the bowl, and it is shaped like a concavity, so it can be stored in the bowl simply by throwing it in. Similarly, since the space between the support posts for holding the pot seedlings is reduced, the pot seedlings can be fixed simply by inserting the pot seedlings from above, so that workability is improved. Further, since the pot is held by the inner peripheral surface of the arc-shaped column and the side surface of the conical protrusion provided at the center of the bottom surface, the seedling will not be shaken or damaged when the pot is moved.

Since the bottom surface of the fixture is floated from the bottom surface of the pot and a plurality of drain holes and connecting grooves are provided on the bottom surface, the drainage is good and the pot seedling is not damaged for a long time. Further, since the fixing tool is a molded product of a resin material such as polystyrene foam or an assembly made of corrugated cardboard, it is easy to manufacture in accordance with the shape of the bowl and is low in cost.

The present invention is a fixture 1 for planting a plurality of ornamental flower buds such as phalaenopsis orchids in a pot seedling 2 in the state of a pot seedling 2, and a plurality of support posts 4 from the bottom of the fixture 1. Are arranged at equal intervals, and the inner peripheral side surface of the support column 4 is formed on two circular arc surfaces 4a branched from the central top, and between the circular arc surface 4a and the side surface 8a of the conical protrusion 8 erected at the center of the bottom surface. Then, the pot 5 of the pot seedling 2 was sandwiched, and the outer peripheral surface 4 b of the support column 4 was brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the flower pot 3.

Hereinafter, one preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a state where a plurality of ornamental florets such as phalaenopsis orchids of the same varieties are planted in a flower pot 3 in the state of a pot seed 2 using the flower pot fixing 1 of the present invention. Is made of Styrofoam, and as shown in FIG. 2, it is tapered to match the shape of the flower pot so that it can be inserted into any flower pot and inserted. In the present embodiment, the bottom surface is circular according to the flower pot, and the three support posts 4 positioned in a conical shape that spreads outward from the bottom surface are raised at equal intervals.

Then, the inner peripheral side surface of the support column 4 is formed on two arcuate surfaces 4a branched from the center top when viewed from above, and the pot seedling is formed between the arc surface 4a and the side surface 8a of the conical protrusion 8 standing at the center of the bottom surface. The pot seedling 2 was securely fixed to the fixture 1 by sandwiching the pot 5. Further, since the outer periphery 4 b of the support column 4 is formed so as to abut on the inner periphery of the flower pot 3, the fixture 1 is firmly held in the flower pot 3.

The side surface 8a of the conical protrusion 8 erected at the center of the bottom surface was formed as a plurality of circular arc surfaces that were continuous by the number of pot seedlings to be inserted. Accordingly, the pot 5 of the pot seedling 2 is also held on the side surface 8 a of the protrusion 8. The shape of the protrusion 8 changes depending on the number of sections formed by the support column 3, that is, the number of pot seedlings 2. However, the shape of the protrusion 8 must be such that the vertical and lateral movement of the inserted pot seedling 2 can be regulated. is there. For example, when the number of sections is three, since the circle formed by the three pots 5 arranged around the circumference is small, the protrusion 8 becomes a small cone and has three star-shaped circular arc surfaces when viewed from above. Each of the pots 5 arranged around the circular arc surface is pressed down. However, as shown in FIG. 6, when the five support columns 4, that is, five sections, the circle of the pot 5 arranged around the circumference becomes large, so that the protrusion 8 becomes large. Then, it has five star-shaped arc surfaces as viewed from above, and the pots 5 arranged around the arc surface are pressed down.

Further, the gap between the arcuate surface 4a and the side surface 8a of the protrusion 8 is narrowed downward as it goes downward, so that the pot 5 of the pot seedling 2 can be dropped from above and accommodated. In addition, although the space | interval between the support | pillars 4 does not limit a magnitude | size, it is preferable that it is a magnitude | size which can insert the pot 5 of the pot seedling 2 with a diameter of 12 cm or more at least.

Further, a drainage groove 7 for connecting the drainage ports 6 is provided on the bottom surface of the fixture 1 to improve drainage. Thereby, surplus water is drained smoothly at the time of watering after group planting. Usually, the number of drain outlets 6 is the same as the number of sections between the columns 4, that is, the number of pot seedlings 2.

Further, the middle to lower side of the support column 4 is set so that its outer diameter is slightly increased, and the bottom surface of the fixture 1 is set to be slightly higher than the bottom surface of the flower pot. This is to improve drainage of excess water. Furthermore, from the middle to the upper side of the support column 4, the outer diameter is narrowed so as to be inclined inward so that the upper side of the flower pot does not touch. This is because, when the pot seedling 2 is put, the entire appearance is beautifully adjusted with moss using the space.

The fixing device 1 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the pot and regulates the vertical and lateral movement of the pot seedling, but if it can regulate the pot seedling to a state where there is no actual harm, its material We do not choose about. For example, any material may be used as long as it has a three-dimensional shape that matches the shape of the bowl, such as a molded product of a resin material such as polystyrene foam or an assembly made of corrugated cardboard.

Potted plants are not particularly limited and may be any of plants, vegetables, medicinal plants (herbs), foliage plants, fruit trees, etc. In particular, Phalaenopsis is a preferred example. In the case of Phalaenopsis orchids, rather than selling them as a single stand in a pot, we plant three or five and add commercial value.

When planting a plurality of phalaenopsis pot seedlings 2 using the fixing tool 1 of the present invention, the fixing tool 1 is accommodated in the flower pot 3 in advance, and then the pot seedlings 2 are sequentially partitioned between the support posts 4. Insert to fit inside. At this time, the outer periphery of the pot 5 is brought into contact with the arc surface of the protrusion 8 and the side surface 4a (arc surface) of the column 3 so as to be reliably held.

5-8, the number of support | pillars of the fixing tool 1 is five, the number of divisions is five, and it can accommodate five pot seedlings. In this case, as described above, since the five pot seedlings 2 are arranged uniformly around the circumference of the protrusion 8, the circle becomes large. Therefore, the shape of the protrusion 8 is also large.
