In this case, since the water collection surface is larger than the upper opening of the flower pot, watering is easy and efficiency is high.

The water collector for the flowerpot according to the present invention preferably has a light reflecting material on the water collecting surface. In this case, since the light reflected by the light reflecting material on the water collecting surface hits the plant, it is effective for the growth of the plant. The light reflecting material may be any material that reflects light, such as a mirror, a piece of mirror, aluminum, silver paper, plating, or beads. Moreover, the light reflecting material may be removable, and may be provided on the entire surface of the water collection surface, or may be provided in a part or in a checkered pattern.
The water collector of the flowerpot according to the present invention is composed of a plurality of water collecting members having the same shape, each water collecting member having an inclined portion and a base portion, and the inclined portion is integrally formed with an obtuse angle with respect to the base portion. Provided with the water collecting surface on the opposite surface of the base portion side, and when the base portion of each water collecting member is disposed inside the flower pot, each inclined portion can be projected radially outward from the upper opening of the flower pot and spread radially. It is preferable that each water collecting member is connected so that it can be folded.

A water collector for a flowerpot according to the present invention is provided between a pair of side edges provided extending from the plant through-hole to the outer periphery so that the water collecting surface is formed between each side edge and each side edge. And a plurality of folds provided extending from the plant through-hole to the outer periphery, and the folds may be alternately folded.
In this case, since it can be folded alternately at the folding section and folded small, it is easy to store. In particular, when a branch or leaf of a plant spreads out from the through hole for plants, it can be folded and attached or removed without damaging the plant.
The water collector for the flower pot according to the present invention may be provided integrally with the flower pot.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the water collector of the flowerpot which can supply water to a plant using rain water with a simple structure can be provided.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 3 show a water collector for a flowerpot according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the water collector 10 of a flowerpot is made of plastic and is thin and has a substantially disk shape. The flowerpot water collector 10 forms a water collection surface 11 whose upper surface is larger than the upper opening of the flowerpot 1. A flowerpot water collector 10 has a plant through-hole 12 that penetrates in the thickness direction at the center of a water collecting surface 11. The water collecting surface 11 is inclined so as to descend toward the plant through-hole 12 and is smoothly processed so that water can easily flow. The water collector 10 of the flowerpot may be provided with a water repellent coating or a hydrophilic coating on the water collecting surface 11 so that water can flow more easily. Moreover, the water collection surface 11 may have a light reflection material. In this case, since the light reflected by the light reflecting material on the water collecting surface 11 hits the plant, it is effective for the growth of the plant. The water collecting surface 11 projects from the inside of the upper opening of the flower pot 1 to the outside and spreads, and is inclined so as to descend from the outside of the flower pot 1 to the inside.

Next, the operation will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, a water collector 10 for a flower pot is used by being placed on the upper edge of the flower pot 1 with the water collection surface 11 facing upward. At this time, the plant 2 planted in the flower pot 1 is pierced through the plant through-hole 12 so that the plant 2 is exposed to light. Since the thickness is thin, the plant 2 is easily exposed to light. Since the water collecting surface 11 is inclined so as to be lowered toward the plant through-hole 12, when it rains, rainwater that has fallen on the water collecting surface 11 flows along the inclination of the water collecting surface 11 and from the plant through-hole 12. Enter the flower pot 1. At this time, since the water collecting surface 11 is larger than the upper opening of the flower pot 1, the amount of water collected is larger than when the water collector 10 of the flower pot is not used, and the amount of water supplied to the plant 2 is also increased. For this reason, the frequency | count and quantity of watering can be reduced and it is efficient. Moreover, since rainwater enters the flower pot 1 from the through-hole 12 for plants, water can be supplied near the plant 2, which is effective for the growth of the plant 2. Thus, the water collector 10 of the flower pot has a simple structure that is simply placed on the upper edge of the flower pot 1 and can easily supply water to the plant 2 using rainwater.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the water collector 20 of a flowerpot is made of paper, and is extended from the through-hole 12 for plants to the outer periphery so that the water collecting surface 11 is formed between them. It may have a plurality of folding portions 22 provided between the edge portion 21 and the side edge portions 21 so as to extend from the plant through-hole 12 to the outer periphery, and the folding portions 22 may be alternately folded. . In addition, each side edge part 21 is formed in the both sides of the cutting part 23 extended from the plant through-hole 12 to the outer periphery. In this case, since it can fold alternately by the folding part 22 and can be folded small, accommodation is easy. In particular, when the branches and leaves of the plant 2 spread from the plant through-hole 12, the plant 2 can be folded and attached or removed without damaging the plant 2.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the water collector 30 of the flower pot may be composed of a plurality of water collecting members 31. Each water collecting member 31 has an inclined portion 32 and a base portion 33. The inclined portion 32 is plate-like and the planar shape is generally fan-shaped. The base portion 33 is plate-shaped and is integrally provided at an end portion on the main side of the inclined portion 32 with an angle slightly larger than perpendicular to the lower surface of the inclined portion 32, that is, an obtuse angle. The inclined portion 32 has a water collection surface on the upper surface that is the opposite surface of the base portion 33 side. The water collector 10 of the flowerpot is formed by arranging the water collecting members 31 so that the inclined portions 32 of the water collecting members 31 are arranged in an annular shape. The water collector 10 of the flower pot can be fixed by inserting the tip 33 a of the base 33 of each water collecting member 31 into the soil of the flower pot 1. Each of the water collecting members 31 can be radially expanded by projecting each inclined portion 32 outward from the upper opening of the flower pot 1 when the base portion 33 is disposed inside the flower pot 1, and can be folded together. Yes.

  In the configuration including the plurality of water collecting members 31, the water collecting members 31 can be easily accommodated by reducing the size to the size of each water collecting member 31. In particular, when the branches and leaves of the plant 2 spread from the plant through-hole 12, the plant 2 can be attached or detached without damaging the plant 2. Since the tip 33a of the base 33 is pierced and fixed to the soil of the flower pot 1, it is difficult to come off even if it receives a relatively strong wind. In addition, in the water collector 10 of the flower pot, each water collecting member 31 may be separated into pieces, even if each water collecting member 31 can be folded in a fan shape.
