Abstract

PURPOSE:To sterically maintain the whole shape so as to fit for natural elegance and enable pot culture without death of a plant for a long period by setting the plant in a hole provided in a massive body having air and water permeability. CONSTITUTION:A hole 11 for sufficiently admitting a root of a plant to be set is provided in the top of a massive body 10, such as pumice or expanded synthetic resin, having air and water permeability. A hole 12 communicating with the bottom is simultaneously formed. A powdery or granular substance 15, such as mounting sand, having water permeability is then filled in the above- mentioned holes 11 and 12 and a plant 16, such as azalea, pine or UME (plum) tree, is set therein. The base part of the massive body 10 is arranged in a pot 13 filled with a powdery or granular substance 14, such as sand or soil, having water permeability and holding properties.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for cultivating plants used for ornamental purposes in pots.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, bonsai and other plants have been actively grown in homes, hotels, etc., but simply placing sand or soil in flower pots and growing ornamental plants such as pine trees, plum trees, etc. The disadvantage is that there is little change.

Therefore, research has been carried out on placing a suitably large rock or the like in a pot and planting plants on the rock.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, if you drill a hole in an ordinary rock and fill it with sand, etc., and then plant a plant, the plant will barely grow for the first year or so, but after three years, it will take root and die. There was a problem with it being put away.

In addition, if regular rocks are used, they are hard and require time to process, and have poor water permeability and ventilation, resulting in poor plant growth.
There was a problem that flowering was poor in cases such as d.

The present invention was made in view of these circumstances, and provides a method for cultivating plants in pots that maintains the overall shape three-dimensionally so as to match the natural atmosphere, and that does not wither over a long period of time. The purpose is to provide.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The method for cultivating plants in pots according to the present invention in accordance with the above-mentioned objective provides a hole communicating with the bottom of a block of air and water permeable material such as pumice, and a hole in the cough hole. The base of the above-mentioned lump is placed in a pot filled with water-permeable powder and granular material such as sand, which has water-permeable and water-retaining properties, and is planted with a specified plant. It is configured to be arranged.

Here, the term "powder and granules" includes cases where the material consists only of sand (preferably from the birth of a baby). Further, the filling of the powder or granular material into the above-mentioned agglomerate also includes a case where the agglomerate is placed in a pot and then filled from above.

[Effect]

The block according to the present invention is made of a material with air permeability and water permeability, such as pumice stone, and has a communicating hole at the bottom, so it can provide sufficient water and air to the roots of the planted plants. Moreover, since there are holes in the bottom that communicate with each other, water will rise even from pots filled with granular materials that have water permeability and water retention properties, such as sand or soil, and will retain water and expand over a long period of time. You can plan the roots.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings to provide an understanding of the present invention.

Here, FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of a potted plant to which the method of the present invention is applied.

As shown in Figure 1, first prepare pumice 10, which is an example of a block having water permeability and air permeability. After making a hole 11 for the roots to enter, a hole 12 passing through the bottom is made.

Here, in the case of pumice, you can easily shape and drill holes with a screwdriver, drill, etc., and you can work with it as you like.

Here, instead of using pumice as the lump, it is also possible to use foamed synthetic resin, which is a porous material with breathable and water permeable properties. , mass production becomes possible. In this case, the foamed synthetic resin can be appropriately colored to create a more elegant appearance than pumice.

Next, prepare a suitable pot 13, put a predetermined amount of mountain sand 14 into the pot 13, set the pumice stone 10 itself in the pot 13, and then put 15 karat mountain sand into the hole 12. Plant 16 plants (such as pine, plum, etc.) starting from the top.

With this, the planting of the plant is completed, and the plant will grow by giving water and fertilizer at the appropriate time, and the roots will grow downward through the hole 12 and extend into the pot 13. . By replacing the mountain sand 14 in the pot 13 at regular intervals, the soil at the bottom of the roots will peel off, but since the roots in the pumice are stretched out, the plant will not wither and will grow for many years. become.

In addition, for a comparative experiment, a hole that does not communicate with the bottom of the pumice stone was made, and an example of a plant, ``Gaguri'', was placed in the hole. I planted Shu, but the roots dug into the pumice stone, making it difficult to replant, and the roots gradually weakened.
It withered in three years.

In addition, when plants are planted in holes drilled in regular stones, they do not have water permeability, so they have poor drainage and wither within a short period of time.

In the above example, mountain sand was used for the part where the roots grow, but it is also possible to use granules with water retention properties.For example, foamable synthetic resin (soft or hard) crushed into granules. It is also possible to use granules.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, the method for cultivating plants in pots according to the present invention includes providing an air-permeable and water-permeable block with holes communicating with the bottom, and furthermore, the block is grown in sand or soil, etc. Since it is placed in a pot filled with powder, plants can be planted three-dimensionally inside the body.

In addition, the roots of plants are initially located within the pores of the clump, but as they gradually grow downward and enter the body, the roots do not become clogged, and by replacing the powder and granules in the body at an appropriate time, they can be maintained for a long time. It becomes possible to cultivate.

When replanting, plants can be replanted as they are in the clump, and there is little root breakage inside the clump, so even if the roots outside the clump break, the plant will not die at the time of replanting. .
