Description

The present invention relates to a flower pot that improves water retention and is always suitable for keeping the moisture of soil filled in the flower pot, and that can keep it for a long time. The present invention is intended to provide a flower pot having a water retention function that is suitable for use particularly in areas where drought is severe or where it does not rain for a long time.

Flowerpots that have been widely used in the past have a bottomed cylindrical shape, and are provided with a drain hole or an air circulation hole at the bottom. Such a general flower pot has such a structure, thereby preventing the accumulation of water in the filled soil and the soil from being deficient in oxygen and allowing the plant to grow.

However, in the case of the flower pot, since the upper surface is wide open, the evaporation of water in the soil is intense, the soil surface part dries in a short time, and then the deep part gradually dries. In order to keep the water at a proper level, there is a drawback that the water must be replenished frequently.

As a result of studying the above-mentioned drawbacks, the inventor divides the soil in the flower pot vertically with a hemispherical separator, and a large-diameter through hole is formed in the spherical wall at the center of the separator. By penetrating a small-diameter through-hole, and forming the opening of the separation body in a shape that is airtightly joined to the opening periphery of the bowl body, the water retention of the soil below the separation body is improved, and moisture content is reduced. A flower pot that does not require replenishment for a long time was provided (No. 57-49654).

In addition, the inventor divides the soil in the flower pot vertically, and has a large and small through hole on the wall surface, and a hemispherical separator that is airtightly joined to the upper periphery of the flower pot. The peripheral edge is formed in a soft airtight portion made of a soft material, and an airtight pleated portion made of a plurality of protrusions is formed on the back surface of the soft airtight portion. Developed a flowerpot separation body characterized by provision of a temporary incision part, so that it is a single flowerpot separation body, but also adapts to several types of sizes corresponding to the difference in the number of flowerpots We have developed a product that can be used (No. 4-27311).

  The inventor tried to grow a plant using a flower pot of a method in which the soil he developed was divided up and down by a hemispherical separation body. Then, since the water retention of the soil filled in the flower pot can be improved, it became easy to grow the plant. However, when this was used for a long period of time, it was noticed that over time, the water retention of the soil below the remote body became uneven. That is, if it is used for a long period of time, among the soil filled in the flower pot, the lower soil of the separation body settles with the replenishment of water and forms a gap space immediately below the separation body. In addition, when day and night temperature changes occur, the moisture contained in the soil below the separation body evaporates and rises in the gap space, which then becomes dew and drops, and this moisture stays on the soil surface. Happens. In other words, a phenomenon similar to the water circulation in nature, such as “evaporation of water, water droplet formation, and return to the ground as rain” occurs on the surface of the earth.

Therefore, when the cause of such a phenomenon was examined, when the moisture circulation phenomenon in the gap space was repeated over a long period of time, much of the moisture in the soil gradually accumulated on the soil surface in the gap space. Thus, it was found that the upper part of the stored soil became excessive in moisture, and the lower part of the soil became dry, and the uneven distribution of moisture became remarkable. This is the opposite phenomenon to drying from the top of the soil in a conventional general flower pot.

  The present invention pays attention to the phenomenon that the water retention of the soil under the separation body is uneven as described above in the case of a flower pot of a method in which the soil is divided into upper and lower parts by a hemispherical separation body.
