Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plant cultivator capable of growing plants healthy. A main body 10 of a plant cultivator 1 is formed of pumice, and a hole 13 is continuously penetrated from an upper surface 11 to a lower surface 12 of the main body 10, and a resin cylinder is formed inside the hole 13. The body 16 is inserted, the upper end 17 of the cylindrical body 16 is opened at the upper surface 11 of the main body 10, and the lower end 18 of the cylindrical body 16 is opened at the lower surface 12 of the main body 10. A weight 20 formed of natural stone is suspended from the lower surface 12 of the main body 10 via a copper wire. In this cylindrical body 16, a plant 30 is housed, and the upper part of the stem 31 is extended from the upper end 17 of the cylindrical body 16 to the upper surface 11 side of the main body 10 so as to be exposed. Then, the main body 10 is exposed to the lower surface 12 side. [Selection] Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to a plant cultivator.

  Pumice, a kind of volcanic debris, is light and has good drainage and water retention. A pumice flower pot in which a depression for planting a plant is formed using the nature of this pumice has been proposed (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

How to make a mini bonsai pot with pumice Easy! Completed in 30 minutes, [online], [searched on November 5, 2017], Internet <URL: http: // shiritai-blog. com / minibonsai / archives / 945. html>

The inventor of the present application has an experience of forming a hole in a pumice stone collected from Sakurajima in Kagoshima City, planting a plant in this hole, and growing the plant. The reason is unknown, but some plants have blackened leaves or stems in a short period of time, and others have lost their energy.
The present invention solves the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a plant cultivator that enables planted plants to grow vigorously and healthy.

  The present invention has the following configuration in order to solve the problem. The plant cultivator according to the invention of claim 1 has a main body made of pumice that is a volcanic debris and a hole portion that continuously penetrates the main body from the upper surface to the lower surface of the main body, and the inside of the hole portion. A cylindrical body made of resin is inserted therethrough, and an upper end of the cylindrical body opens on the upper surface of the main body, a lower end of the cylindrical body opens on the lower surface of the main body, and the main body The weight hangs down from the lower surface.

  Since it is a plant cultivator having the above-described configuration, a plant planted in this plant cultivator can be vigorously grown healthy.

It is a section explanatory view of a plant cultivator.

A plant cultivator 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The plant cultivator 1 has a main body 10. The main body 10 is formed of pumice which is a volcanic debris sampled from Sakurajima in Kagoshima City.
The main body 10 has a single hole 13 that penetrates continuously from the upper surface 11 to the lower surface 12. A resin cylindrical body 16 is inserted inside the hole 13. An upper end 17 of the cylindrical body 16 is opened on the upper surface 11 of the main body 10, and a lower end 18 of the cylindrical body 16 is opened on the lower surface 12 of the main body 10.
A weight 20 hangs downward from the lower surface 12 of the main body 10 via, for example, a copper wire. The weight 20 is made of natural stone, for example.

Inside the cylindrical body 16, a stem 31 of the plant 30 is housed. From the upper end 17 of the cylindrical body 16, the upper portion of the stem 31 extends and is exposed to the upper surface 11 side of the main body 10. Further, from the lower end 18 of the cylindrical body 16, a root 32 that grows from a lower portion of the stem 31 extends to the lower surface 12 side of the main body 10 and is exposed.
The plant cultivator 1 is floated on the water surface 41 of the pond 40.
The main body 10 formed of pumice easily floats on the water surface 41. The weight 20 hangs underwater from the lower surface 12 of the main body 10, and the main body 10, the plant 30, and the weight 20 are balanced and balanced. The upper surface 11 of the main body 10 is positioned higher than the water surface 41, the lower surface 12 of the main body 10 is positioned below the water surface 41, and the stalk 31 of the plant 30 extends into the air from the upper surface 11 of the main body 10. A root 32 extends from the lower surface 12 of the main body 10 into the water.

As the inventors of the present application confirmed, the plant 30 continued to grow vigorously and healthy after the plant cultivator 1 maintained the state of floating on the water surface 41 of the pond 40 for several months.
The inventor of the present application made a comparative plant cultivator for comparison. This comparative plant cultivator has the same configuration as the plant cultivator 1 except that it does not have a resin tubular body. Under the same conditions as the plant cultivator 1, the plant was directly placed in the hole of the comparative plant cultivator, the comparative plant cultivator was floated on the water surface of the pond, and the growing state of the plant was observed. In a very short period of time, the plants in the comparative plant cultivator lost their energy due to blackening of the leaves and stems and eventually withered.

  Since it is a plant cultivator as described above, it is possible to grow plants healthy, which is useful in the field of horticulture.
