Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for growing an epiphyte and a method for producing an epiphyte structure.

Conventionally, there has been proposed an epiphyte structure, which is used for laying out plants for ornamental purposes, and is formed by growing epiphytes on the surface of a mat-like base material made of fibers. .

In this epiphyte structure, an epiphyte is arranged on the surface of a base material to be grown, a thread is wound to hold the epiphyte on the base material, and water is given appropriately to grow the epiphyte. It is produced by growing the epiphyte on wood. In addition, the epiphyte epiphysis refers to a state in which thin roots (temporal roots) extending from the epiphyte enter into recesses on the surface of the base material and the inner space of the fiber and lock, and this epiphyte growth is completed. Since it takes several weeks to do so, the thread is wound around the substrate to hold it.

However, it is difficult to wind the thread around the substrate on which the epiphyte is arranged, and the productivity is low. If it is not wound neatly, it may grow unevenly and become unsightly. Moreover, this rising portion tends to dry and wither, resulting in a poor yield during mass production. be.

At this time, the first material X enters the recesses 1a of the substrate 1 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). When is a fiber material, the first material X enters even into spaces (mesh) formed between fibers.

Subsequently, the substrate 1 provided with the epiphytes 2 via the first material X is immersed in the second material Y in the container 22 for about 5 minutes (see FIG. 8). At this time, since the base material 1 has water permeability, the second material Y also penetrates from the back side of the base material 1 and is applied to the first material 1 from the vertical and horizontal directions, and the first material X and the second material Y It reacts and solidifies and adheres to the substrate 1 (see FIG. 9).

Subsequently, the substrate 1 provided with the epiphytes 2 through the first material X is immersed in water W in a container 23 to remove excess second material Y (calcium) (see FIG. 10). ).

After that, the epiphytes 2 are temporarily fixed to the substrate 1, and do not separate from the substrate 1 even if water is sprinkled or wind blows. It is grown for about 8 weeks until it becomes epiphytic (the temporary root 2a of the epiphyte 2 is anchored in the recess 1a of the substrate 1 and the inner space of the fiber) (see FIG. 11).

In this embodiment, the epiphyte 2 and the first material X are pre-mixed in a paste form and provided on the surface of the substrate 1 as described above.
