The present invention relates to a plant growing floor for plant cultivation such as a flower base for cultivating ornamental flowers and the like, and more particularly to a plant growing floor for supplying water to a cultivated plant through charcoal.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Plants can grow even in a state separated from the natural surface soil, for example, planted in a flower pot or hydroponically cultivated bulbs, and can be carried or placed outdoors or indoors in a flower pot or the like. A plant growing naturally ingests nutrients necessary for growth contained in moisture by obtaining moisture from the soil in which the plant grows. Therefore, in the case of a plant planted in a flower pot, water cannot be obtained from the soil, so it is necessary to replenish the water by periodically spraying with tap water or the like.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, tap water supplied to plants in flowerpots has been artificially filtered and further sterilized for use as drinking water, and the growth of plants contained in natural water obtained from the soil. There are few kinds of minerals that are necessary nutrients. For this reason, it is desirable to sufficiently supply nutrients necessary for growth to plants that are artificially grown separated from the natural surface soil, as in the case of plants that grow naturally.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a plant growth bed that can supply water containing a large amount of mineral components as nutrients necessary for growth.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, it comprises a columnar charcoal having a planting part for planting a cultivated plant, and replenishes the cultivated plant with water through the columnar charcoal.
The cylindrical charcoal has a split extending radially toward the cylindrical outer surface from the cylinder center, the planting unit is constituted by a recess formed by hollowing out a central portion of the fissure to one end face central portion of the cylindrical charcoal ,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In a preferred embodiment, the planting part is a concave part formed in a central part of one end surface of the columnar charcoal.
[0008]
With this configuration, a planting portion is formed at the center of a large number of cracks formed radially in the charcoal, and an planting portion having an arbitrary shape and depth can be easily formed. The roots grow well along the balance.
[0009]
【Example】
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a plant growth floor according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of use of the plant growth floor of FIG.
[0010]
As shown in FIG. 1, the plant growing floor 10 is made of columnar charcoal obtained by cutting charcoal into a ring shape in an appropriate length and substantially orthogonal to the axis of the tree, and is formed on one end surface 10 a that is a circular cut surface. In the central part, the planting part 11 is formed so as to be hollowed out.
[0011]
As the charcoal on which this plant growth floor 10 is formed, cracks (chrysanthemum cracks) that are in close contact with the outer skin of the peripheral surface and expand radially from the center of the cylinder passing through the center of the cut end face 10a toward the outer surface of the cylinder. ) It is preferable that 12 is formed as much as possible. An example of such a condition is a tea ceremony charcoal made from a kunigi (wood) tree used in a tea ceremony. In the present invention, any type of charcoal can be used, and Bincho charcoal and other charcoal can be used.
[0012]
The planting part 11 consists of the recessed part which notched the cut end surface 10a to arbitrary depths, and plants the cultivation plant 13 mentioned later here (refer FIG. 2). The concave portion for the planting portion 11 can be easily formed in an arbitrary shape and depth by hollowing out the center of the innumerable radial cracks 12 in the charcoal.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 2, the plant growing floor 10 on which an arbitrary cultivated plant 13 to be cultivated is planted is stored and used in a shallow cup-shaped container 15 in which water 14 is stored. Planting of the cultivated plant 13 is performed by filling the planting part 11 with soil or other embedding material 16 and burying seeds, seedlings, stocks, etc. of the cultivated plant 13. In this case, when used for indoor ornamentation, the soil that may be contaminated with impurities such as germs should not be used as much as possible. It is desirable to use a polymer absorbent sheet or artificial clay. In addition, a sponge-like chip material or a plastic granule may be stacked. Note that a bulb or the like may be placed directly on the planting part 11 without using such an embedding material 16.
[0014]
In the cup-shaped container 15, the plant growth floor 10 is placed with the cut end face 10 b on the opposite side of the planting part 11 in contact with the bottom face of the container, and the cut end face 10 b is immersed in the water 14. Since the lower cut end face 10b is immersed in water, the water 14 reaches the vicinity of the upper cut end face 10a in which the planting portion 11 is formed through the cracks 12 by capillarity inside the plant growing floor 10. Penetrates. The amount of the water 14 stored in the cup-shaped container 15 is sufficient if at least an amount that can be sucked up by the plant growth floor 10 is secured.
[0015]
The water 14 sucked into the inside of the plant growth floor 10 through the cracks 12 contains a variety of mineral components and is in a state where impurities are filtered and removed. That is, the charcoal contains 2-3% of mineral components (inorganic components such as calcium, iron, and magnesium). These are nutrients absorbed from the soil during the growth of the raw wood, which is the raw material of charcoal, and these are concentrated about 3 times in the process of burning from raw wood to charcoal, and are easily ionized (dissolved in water). Easy). Charcoal is a porous body having innumerable gaps (cracks 12) inside, and the surface area of the gaps is about 300 m ² per gram. For example, disinfecting chlorine, harmful mercury, or organic substances such as trihalomethane contained in tap water are adsorbed and removed in the gaps, so that water close to natural water is obtained, and germs and the like are removed and water 14 is removed over a long period of time. Corruption is prevented.
[0016]
In the plant growth floor 10 having the above-described configuration, the planted cultivated plant 13 has water taken up from the cup-like container 15 through the plant growth floor 10 by rooting the crack 12 communicating with the planting part 11. 14 is absorbed from its roots. The water 14 absorbed from the roots is passed through the plant growth bed 10 so that impurities and germs are filtered out and removed, and various kinds of nutrients necessary for growth like natural water obtained from the soil. It contains a lot of mineral components.
[0017]
For this reason, the water 14 is prevented from being spoiled to prevent root rot, and the artificially grown cultivated plant 13 is a mineral component that is a nutrient necessary for growth as in the case of naturally growing plants. It becomes possible to replenish water containing a large amount, and the cultivated plant 13 can be cultivated in an environment more suitable for growth.
[0018]
The cup-like container 15 for storing the plant growth floor 10 is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 2, and any cup container 15 can be used as long as the plant growth floor 10 can be stored and a necessary amount of water 14 can be stored. The shape may be sufficient.
[0020]
The present invention is not limited to a flower base for cultivating ornamental flowers, but can be applied to a breeding floor for supplying water to grow vegetables, seedlings, fruits and other various plants in a home garden or the like.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the plant growth floor according to the present invention, the cultivated plant planted on the plant growth floor made of charcoal is planted from the cup-shaped container by rooting the crack communicating with the planting part. The water absorbed from the roots is absorbed from the roots, so the water absorbed from the roots is a moisture rich in a wide variety of mineral components as impurities are removed by the plant growth floor. An environment that prevents rot of water and prevents root rot of cultivated plants, and can supply water containing a large amount of mineral components that are necessary for the growth of cultivated plants. Can be cultivated in
[0022]
Moreover, if the said planting part is the structure which is a recessed part formed in the one end surface center part of columnar charcoal, it cuts out the center part of many cracks radially formed in charcoal, and was placed vertically A planting part will be formed on the upper end surface of the columnar charcoal, and a planting part having an arbitrary shape and depth can be easily formed, and the roots grow well in a balanced manner along the cracks.
