Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for growing ornamental plants and a growing device for growing plants by bending their roots.

(Conventional technology) Conventionally, in order to grow plant roots into a predetermined shape, tools such as gutters were used to shape each root individually (Tokukō Sho 57
-4206).

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) According to the conventional method, it is possible to achieve the purpose of shaping the roots of plants, but it is possible to achieve the purpose of shaping the roots of plants. It was difficult to fit them together, and creating complex shapes required complicated equipment.

(Means for Solving the Problems) However, according to the present invention, by making full use of the light irradiation direction adjustment means (i.e., the light shielding means), it is possible to take advantage of the characteristics of plant roots to form a predetermined shape. It was successful and solved the problems of the conventional method.

That is, this invention provides directional light irradiation means to the tip of the root where the apical meristem is located as the roots of the seedling elongate,
After bending the roots in a direction opposite to the irradiation direction, applying a shading means and bending and elongating them in another direction, shaping the roots of the plant into a predetermined shape by regulating the irradiation means and the shading means. This is a method for growing ornamental plants characterized by: Also,
The light shielding means is made by pasting or coating a light shielding material on a transparent cylinder. Further, the light-transmitting cylinder is a transparent or translucent synthetic resin cylinder, and the light-shielding material is black paint or opaque paper.

Furthermore, the apparatus used in the present invention is an ornamental device characterized in that the center lines of a plurality of translucent cylinders having different diameters are successively connected together, the cylinders are installed upright, and light-shielding treatment is applied to appropriate places on the cylinders. It is a growing device for garden plants.

Next, the cylindrical body is halved in the axial direction.

Further, the cylindrical body is constructed by layering water-retaining paper on the inside of a synthetic resin film.

In the above, the material of the cylindrical body is not limited to a transparent material; for example, holes may be provided at appropriate locations in an opaque material to achieve the purpose. Further, as the light shielding means, opaque paper, opaque paint, or other means can be used.

Next, the soil to be filled into the cylinder does not necessarily have to be culture soil, mixed soil, etc., as long as it has water retention, air permeability, fertilizer retention, etc. For example, an appropriate material can be used, such as mixing synthetic resin particles or mixing a corrosive material into an artificial inorganic material.

Although there are no restrictions on plants that are subject to this invention, there are miscellaneous items for management. As a result of experiments, it was found that the desired purpose could be achieved relatively easily with Ubamegashi, Arakashi, Shirakashi, Japanese yam, and Japanese black oak.

Since this invention utilizes the light-responsive characteristics of plant roots, good results were obtained up to a light transmittance of about 50%, although this differs depending on the sunshine period and other factors. Of course, it is also possible to actively increase the amount of irradiated light using illumination or the like.

(Function) According to the present invention, the direction of root elongation can be controlled by irradiating or shielding the apical meristem of the root with light.

According to the translucent cylindrical body of the present invention, the direction in which roots of plants grow can be regulated by attaching and detaching the light shielding means to the outside thereof.

(Example) Next, this invention will be explained based on the drawings.

In FIG. 3, a second cylindrical body 2 of the same material and successively smaller diameter is attached to the top of the first cylindrical body made of transparent synthetic resin (for example, made of vinyl chloride).
and the third cylindrical body 3 is partially inserted and installed upright, and the first,
A common support rod 4 is inserted into the second cylindrical body 1.2 and its lower end is fixed to the ground 10, and it is attached to the third cylindrical body 3 and tied down with a palm rope 5. Said first, second and third cylindrical bodies 1.2.3
are filled with culture soil 6.6 (or mixed soil), and a fourth cylinder 8 for planting seedlings 7 is connected to the third cylinder 3, and the fourth cylinder 8 and the fourth cylinder 8 are connected to each other. A common bamboo 9 is inserted into the three cylindrical bodies 3, and the lower end of the bamboo 9 is inserted into the soil of the second cylindrical body 2. The supporting rod 4 and the bamboo 9 are fixed with a wire 11 and filled with culture soil 6. Then, seedlings 7 are planted in the fourth cylindrical body 8 in the usual manner.

This fourth cylinder 8 does not need to be transparent (usually opaque)
. The size of the first cylindrical body 1 in the above is 220 mm in diameter,
The length is 300 mm, and the second cylinder 2 has a diameter of 150 m1 and a length of 7.
00mm, the third cylinder 3 has a diameter of 60mm and a length of 700mm.
.

The fourth cylindrical body 8 has a lower bottom diameter of 60 mm and a mouth diameter of 100 mm.

The length is 100n+m. However, the above dimensions are just examples, and the length, diameter, and number of additions vary depending on the plant to be grown, but usually, roots of 500+nm to 2000+nm are grown using a plurality of cylinders. Of course, the method of this invention can also grow shorter or longer roots.

Each of the cylinders has a filter paper 13 (thickness of about 0, 5+) inside a vinyl chloride film 12 (thickness of about 0.2 mm).
Although it is molded with n+a) inside, there are no restrictions on the thickness or material. For example, other materials can be used as long as they have appropriate water retention and light transmittance. In actual use, it is desirable that it be placed relatively low and that it can be cut if necessary.

Furthermore, if a relatively thick synthetic resin cylinder is used, it will be self-supporting, but it will be inconvenient to remove soil, so it is preferable to make it divisible.

A breeding example will be explained based on the above embodiment.

When the tip a of the plant root 14 is irradiated with light as shown by the arrow 15, it has the property of sharply bending as shown in the second figure, or simultaneously splitting into a plurality of parts C at the same time as the bending. Therefore, first, the seedling 7 is given appropriate moisture and fertilizer, and the roots 14 of the seedling 7 are transferred to the third cylinder 3.
When the third cylindrical body 3 has been extended to the upper part, a black tape 16 is wrapped around a part of the upper side of the third cylinder 3 (FIGS. 2 and 3). In this case, the roots 14.14a are bent toward the black tape 16,
Extends along the chain. Then, when the lower end of the black tape 16 is reached, light is received from all four circumferences as shown by arrows 18 and 19, so the six roots 14 and 14a are inevitably bent toward the center (FIG. 2).

In the above embodiment, fertilizer 17.17 is put in the upper part of both the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, and water is sprinkled from above as shown by arrows 21 and 22, so the fertilizer is mixed with the culture soil. 6 (or mixed soil) and is appropriately absorbed through the roots of plants. As mentioned above, change the watering location to a second location as the roots elongate.
Transfer to cylinder 2 or first cylinder 1. Also, depending on the bending state of the roots, the bending state can be corrected by attaching black tape to an appropriate position on the cylindrical body, or by actively irradiating light. Although a black tape was used in the above example, since all that is needed is to block light, it is of course possible to apply an opaque paint or attach a light-shielding tape.

In the above embodiment, the first to fourth cylinders were used to form a root of approximately 1,600 m, but it is extremely easy to make the root longer or shorter.

In addition, the diameter and length of each cylinder also depend on the nature of the plant.
Determine as appropriate depending on the desired shape, size, etc. Moreover, the reason for making the diameter large and small is to facilitate watering and fertilization in the middle, and there are no dimensional restrictions. For example, even if a vinyl chloride pipe with a uniform diameter is used, the same effect can be achieved if improvements are made to its self-supporting properties, water sprinkling properties, fertilizing properties, etc. Furthermore, vinyl chloride film and
Although a laminated film of i-paper was used, any material having properties such as translucency, water retention, and watertightness may be used as appropriate. Once grown as described above, the plants can be transferred to a flower pot 2o as shown in FIG. 4, or left to stand on the ground as shown in FIG.

(Effects of the Invention) That is, according to the present invention, the light characteristics of plant roots are used to bend and shape them as they grow, so it is possible to create roots that are complex and can withstand ornamentation without applying excessive external force to the plants. It has the effect of being able to be molded over a predetermined length. However, if a predetermined method is followed, it is possible to reproduce a large number of molded roots in almost the same state.
