A plurality of divided inner pots 10 for plant cultivation of the present embodiment (3 pots in the present embodiment) are housed in an internal space of an ordinary inverted frustoconical outer pot (not shown). It is formed so as to be divided into three spaces. That is, each divided inner bowl 10 accommodated in the outer bowl is formed along the inner wall surface of the outer bowl and corresponds to one-third of the entire peripheral surface of the outer bowl, as shown in FIGS. An arcuate surface 11 occupying an area, and two side surfaces 12 extending from both ends of the arcuate surface 11 toward the shaft core of the outer bowl, and the respective extended side ends connected to the shaft core. 12 and a bottom surface 13 that connects the lower ends of the arcuate surface 11 and the two side surfaces 12 and 12. Therefore, in the divided inner pot 10, the three arc-shaped surfaces 11 are in contact with the inner face of the outer pot in a state where three pots are housed in the outer pot, and the remaining two side faces 12, 12 form a central angle of 120 °. It is designed to come into contact with the two sides of another bowl 10.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, at the lower ends of the two side surfaces 12 and 12, two vertically elongated first communicating holes 12A and 12A along the respective arc-shaped surface 11 side ends and respective ones thereof are provided. One vertically elongated second communication hole 12B is formed along each of the intersecting ends. The communication holes 12A, 12A, and 12B may be formed in such a size that the soil for cultivation does not leak and the roots of the foliage plants cross each other in adjacent pots.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the bottom surface 13 is composed of a strip-shaped surface along the arcuate surface 11 and a fan-shaped surface protruding toward the internal space inside the strip-shaped surface. That is, the entire bottom surface formed with the three divided inner pots housed in the outer pot is formed so as to match the shape of the bottom face of the outer pot. Then, three drain holes 13A are formed on the strip surface along this shape at equal intervals, and three fan holes 13B are also formed on the fan-shaped surface along each drain hole 13A. It is formed similarly.

A small projection is provided on the inner peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the outer bowl to prevent positional deviation of the divided inner bowl 10 housed in the inner space thereof in the circumferential direction.

Next, a usage mode of the divided inner pot 10 for plant cultivation will be described.

The divided inner pots 10 can be arranged, and the space for cultivating seedlings can be utilized to the maximum extent.

In addition, as described above, a large number of the divided inner pots 10 are arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions so as to be in a close-packed state, and then the seedlings of the foliage plant are cultivated until shipping under the same conditions. At this time, the seedlings in each divided inner pot 10 did not always grow uniformly, and the growth of the seedlings in each divided inner pot 10 was often uneven as a whole, and the seedlings were raised in each divided inner pot 10. There is a case that the flowering time of the foliage plants or the lengths of the plants are not uniform and there is a gap in the shipping time. In such a case, only the divided inner pots 10 of the ornamental plants determined to be shipped at the same time are divided into three groups, and the three divided inner pots 10 are grouped into one outer pot as it is. Only houseplants that are shipped at the same time can be planted together by storing them together, and the divided inner pots 10 can be stored in the outer pots without touching the roots at the time of planting, so the work can be done quickly. You can In addition, if soil for cultivation is further stacked on the divided inner pots 10 housed in the outer pots and the divided inner pots 10 are embedded in the soil of the outer pots, the appearance of the divided inner pots 10 in the outer pots will be improved. You can make it look good without knowing that there is something. Of course, after group planting, the form of the foliage plant may be adjusted as before and shipped as a product.

Further, the foliage plants in each divided inner pot 10 after the planting grow even after the shipment by applying fertilizer, water, etc. The soil is connected through the communication holes 12A, 12A, and 12B of the respective divided inner pots 10, and even if water is imbalanced in each of the divided inner pots 10, the soil is connected through the respective communication holes 12A, 12A, and 12B. Water or the like spreads to the soil of the divided inner pots 10 with or without watering, and the roots of the ornamental plants in each divided inner pot 10 are different from each other as the ornamental plants grow. It extends to the entire outer pot and allows the ornamental plants to grow without hindrance.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the divided inner pots can be assembled at a high density during the seedling cultivation of the foliage plant, and the space of the cultivation area can be used to the maximum extent. In addition, at the time of planting, the planting work can be easily and quickly performed without damaging the roots and the like, and after the planting, the roots of the foliage plant can be easily extended to grow the foliage plant smoothly.

In the above embodiment, only the divided inner pot 10 that divides the outer pot into three parts has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the number of ornamental plants to be planted together is not limited.
