Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> This invention relates to a flower pot that can continuously adjust and supply liquid over a long period of time.

<Prior art> This type of prior art includes Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 50-46652. This publication discloses a double-layered flower pot in which an inner pot body and an outer pot body are layered with a hollow part, and a pipe-shaped protrusion extending toward the bottom wall of the outer pot body is provided at the bottom of the inner pot body. It describes filling the pipe-like protrusion with a capillary material.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, since the capillary material according to the above-mentioned publication continuously sucks up water from the bottom wall of the outer pot, the inner pot contains more water than the potted plant needs. The problem is that some of the plants liquefy, blocking air circulation and causing root rot. The present invention attempts to solve this problem.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention accommodates an inner pot body by forming a bottom gap and a cylindrical side gap in the outer pot body, and spaces the bottom plate of the inner pot body. The pot is characterized in that an inner bottom plate is provided, a bottom plate gap is formed between both plates, and a water pumping string is inserted between the bottom gap and the bottom gap and between the bottom gap and the inner pot body.

<Operation> A considerable amount of liquid is injected into the bottom gap to fill the bottom gap with earth and sand. The liquid in the bottom gap enters the bottom gap through the pumping string and hydrates the sediment in the gap. Next, water is pumped from the water-containing soil in the bottom cavity through the pumping string into the inner pot body.
It supplies water and nutrients to the roots of the plant inside the pot.

<Example> Fig. 1 shows a first example, in which an inner pot body 2, which is slightly smaller in size, is inserted into an outer pot body 1 which is circular or square in plan view, and the upper surface is opened 3. A cylindrical side gap 4 and a tall bottom gap 5 are formed. 6 is a gap maintaining member such as a stand leg. Place the inner bottom plate 2b on the bottom plate 2a of the inner pot body 2 with a gap.
are laid and fitted to form a bottom gap 7 between both plates, and insertion holes are provided at positions shifted from each other in the bottom plate 2a and the inner bottom plate 2b, and water pumping strings 8a and 8b are inserted through each of the holes. The water pumping string 8a extends between the bottom gap 5 and the bottom gap 7, and the water pumping string 8b extends from inside the bottom gap 7 onto the inner bottom plate 2b. The inside of the inner pot body 2, including the bottom cavity 7, is filled with the required earth and sand, and ornamental plants and the like are planted therein. A considerable amount of liquid is injected into the bottom gap 5 through the opening 3 on the top surface and stored therein. Therefore, the liquid in the bottom gap 5 enters the bottom gap 7 from the lower part of the water pumping string 8a due to capillary action due to water content, and the earth and sand in the gap 7 gradually become hydrated, and the lower half of the water pumping string 8b becomes hydrated. Then, the water is gradually pumped up to make the soil in the inner pot body 2 hydrated and supplied to the roots of the plant A.

FIG. 2 shows the second embodiment, which is the same as the first embodiment except that the inner pot body 2 is formed of two removable inner and outer bodies, and a bottom gap 7 is formed between the two inner and outer bodies. Same as example.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, the present invention receives water pumped by the pumping string from the bottom gap provided between the inner and outer pot bodies once in the bottom gap, and gradually releases water from the water-containing soil in the bottom gap to the inner pot. Since the water is pumped into the body, it is possible to eliminate the problem of the water content of the earth and sand in the inner pot body becoming more than necessary due to the continuous pumping of water by the water pumping string. In addition, because the moisture content of the soil in the inner pot is close to the amount required by the potted plant, clumping of soil and sand is prevented.
By maintaining good air circulation and continuously supplying air to the roots, it has the effect of eliminating root rot.
