Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is used in a method for cultivating a western orchid and a method for cultivating it, which is intended for a Phalaenopsis system in which the tip of the flower stem is bent downward due to the weight of the flower, such as Phalaenopsis. Regarding stanchions.

2. Description of the Related Art Said orchids are cultivated in a greenhouse in a state of being closely potted and lined up in a greenhouse until just before the time of shipment. Therefore, during cultivation, the stems are tied up in a straight manner in order to protect the flower stalks in the initial stage, but even if it is attempted to adjust the bending condition of the flower stalks after a certain amount of elongation, the adjacent ones interfere with each other and the work is difficult. Therefore, at the stage of shipping, the pot was relocated to a wide area, and next to the straight column, a column whose tip was curved longer than that column was additionally installed in parallel, and the tip of the flower stem was added to the bent tip of the column. Shaping is performed by tying along the section.

[0003]

The morphology with flowers varies, and if the number of flowers is large, the curvature of the flower stalk becomes large, and conversely, if the flower swelling is poor, the flower stalk tends to be upward. For this reason, when shaping the flower stalk at a good appearance at the shipping stage, it may damage the flower stalk or it may have an unbalanced shape. Even if the flower stalk is well shaped, the angle of the flower with respect to the flower stalk cannot be changed, so the orientation of the petals is unnatural, and it takes several days for the overall appearance to be adjusted.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention resides in a cultivating method for forcibly controlling the bending condition of flower stems in the course of growth and growing while correcting to an ideal form, and a pillar used in the cultivating method, The composition is that the straight struts are erected along the flower stalks, and the straight struts and the flower stalks are tied together at important points. A method of cultivating orchids consisting of a second step of adding a curved strut to the tip of a simple strut and tying the key point of the flower stem to the curved strut, and a tough and bendable wire-shaped straight It is a pillar used in the above cultivation method, which is separated into an upright portion and a curved curved portion, and a connecting means is provided between the upright portion distal end and the curved portion proximal end.

[0005]

[Function] Since the curved support can be easily added to the upper end of the straight support, the work can be performed easily even in a greenhouse crowded with flower stalks. Also, the flower stalks tied along the curved struts that have been added grow in a shape that follows the curvature rate from the portion tied at the tip of the straight part, and as a result, all the open petals can be viewed. It will be unified in the ideal direction.

[0006]

EXAMPLE An orchid cultivation method according to the present invention and a pillar used in the cultivation method will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the support column will be described. Reference numeral 1 is a wire-shaped support column that is tough and bendable, and is composed of a straight support column 1a and a curved support column 1b. Both the straight strut 1a and the bent strut 1b are made of strong and bendable wire with a vinyl coating, so that the curvature can be freely changed without rusting. The straight column 1a is used as it is, and the curved column 1b is used only after being bent. Reference numeral 2 is a joint member having a cylindrical shape with an inner circumference having the same diameter as the above-mentioned pillar, a partition 2a provided at the center of the cylinder, and fitting holes 3.3 on both sides for inserting the ends of the pillar, which are integrally molded of plastic. ing.
The joint member 2 is fixed to the base end of the bent column.

In the thus-formed support pillar, a bent support pillar can be added to the upper end of the straight support pillar whenever necessary. In the present embodiment, the curved strut is added to the straight strut by the joint member, but the connecting means has a structure in which the upper end of the straight strut has a large diameter and a fitting hole is provided in the large diameter portion to insert the base end of the curved strut. Or, conversely, the base end of the curved support may be fitted on the upper end of the straight support, or a screw-in type may be appropriately changed. Also, the material is selected from natural materials such as metal, synthetic resin and bamboo. It is desirable that the fitting hole of the joint member is provided with a taper that expands toward the opening end to facilitate the insertion, and the fitting hole is tightly fitted so as not to wobble or come off. Next, a method of cultivating orchids using this support will be described.

3A to 3D show an example of the cultivation process. First, when the straight upwardly extending flower stalk reaches a certain length, a straight support 1a is erected along the flower stalk 4 and is required. The place is tied with a clip or a fastening member (for example, product name Vinitay) 5 or the like. When the straight struts 1a are long when the buds 6 are about to open, the upper part of the straight struts 1a is cut in accordance with the part of the flower stem 4 which begins to bend, and the upper end of the straight struts 1a is left. When the flower stem 4 is tied up, the curved strut 1b is added, and the tip of the flower stem 4 is tied to the curved portion, and when the straight strut 1a is short, the straight strut 1a is added to the curved strut 1b as shown. Then, the part where the flower stem 4 begins to curve and the tip of the flower stem are tied to the curved strut 1b, and wait until the shipment of most flowers. Meanwhile, the flower stalks extend along the bent struts, and the petals 7.7 ... Align with the front (Fig. 4).

In the greenhouse, flower stalks, buds, and petals are crowded together, but workability is improved by adding support posts, and many western orchids can be cultivated effectively in a narrow space, and immediately before shipping. There is no need to make hasty changes.

[0010] Further, it is possible to eliminate the unevenness due to the forced bending and the immaturity of the operator, and above all, the flower stalk does not point too upward or conversely downward, and the petals are naturally oriented. It is ideal because it is corrected.

The straight support column 1a may be erected slightly tilted according to the flower stalk 4 as in the embodiment, or conversely, the flower stalk 4 may be arranged along the vertical support column 1a. it can. Further, the length of straight struts, curved struts, replenishment time of bent struts, knotting positions and the number of knots, etc. are appropriately changed according to the type of orchid, and the time when the flower buds of the present invention begin to open and bloom. , It is just a guideline and is not necessarily limited to that time, and it may be slipped before the buds open or just before the flowers are in full bloom.

[0012]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY Since the present invention is to correct the growth process of the orchid by effectively utilizing it, it is not necessary to shape the flower stem just before shipping as in the conventional case, and anyone can bend the flower stem or It is possible to tailor a Western orchid with no unnaturalness with flowers. Also, with the advent of replenishment type columns, workability in the greenhouse is improved and it is not necessary to move pots.
