Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention artificially removes roots and roots of epiphytic orchids in order to prevent planting and crop loss due to changes in the epiphytic state of roots when replanting epiphytic orchids. The present invention relates to stable cultivation by fixing with a resin foam to eliminate wobble at the root part of a plant and then planting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Epiphytic orchids whose roots adhere to tree trunks, branches and rocks in the natural world and grow in a special environment are cultivated in flowerpots. However, there is a problem of planting and cropping due to changes in the root growth condition during replanting cultivation. The cause of the precious time loss of 1 to 2 years from this crop loss is
There is a big environmental difference between the natural world and flowerpot cultivation. In order to prevent planting and crop loss as much as possible in this flower pot cultivation, the following method has been conventionally used. They are planted in smaller flower pots to reduce the time it takes for roots to spread within the pot. The potting material is filled tightly to reduce the water content in the flowerpot when watering it, and it is close to the natural environment that does not cause overhumidity. The reality is that if the roots are fully spread in the flower pot, it is predicted that the wobble of the root part will disappear, but this is left to the plant and it will not be effective in a short period of time. In addition, the roots in the flowerpots are tightly filled with planting materials and retained, but they are far from the stability that they naturally grow on the trunks, branches, and rocks of the trees, and the plants are indefinite due to the wobble of the roots. He always complained of complaints, and because of this, he could not avoid the phenomenon of cropping.

[Means for Solving the Problem] A base liquid of urethane foam resin and a hardener liquid are mixed, and the mixed liquid 1 is immediately poured into root 2 of epiphytic orchid from which the planting material has been removed, and the foaming point is formed. It is characterized in that the resin foam 4 is foam-formed at the root position of the root 2 of the epiphytic orchid, excluding the stalks 3. In this state, the resin foam 4 spreads to every corner of the root 2 of the epiphytic orchid, and the artificial treatment eliminates the wobbling of the root part. In this state, the resin foam 4 is placed in a flowerpot and the remaining space lower than the dashes 3 Then, the plant is filled with an implant material and cultivated. Further, the portion of the root 2 of the epiphytic orchid that is foamed by the resin foam 4 can be foamed and formed on the entire root 2 of the epiphytic orchid. It is also possible to form a foam at the tip of the root 2 of epiphytic orchid. Furthermore, the foamed portion of the resin foam 4 is formed from the upper part of the surface of the cliff-shaped platform 5 made of foamed resin to the lower part of the epiphytic orchid excluding the stalk 3 as if the legs of the octopus were sucked and adhered. It is possible to form a thin layer of foam 4 on the root 2. These methods can be used properly depending on the type of epiphytic orchid and the cultivation method.

[0005]

[Function] The main liquid agent (polyol main component) and the curing liquid agent (polyisocyanate main component) of the urethane foam resin used in the present invention are products manufactured and sold by each chemical manufacturer, and are used as raw materials for foam insulation materials. It is commonly used. The foaming reaction occurs at room temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius, there is no need for heating and pressurization, and no special equipment for foaming is required. In addition, the manufacturer offers from soft to hard depending on the hardness of the finished resin foam, but in the present invention, since there is no difference in the effects between these types, the foaming ratio is harder than soft (foaming ratio about 20 times). ) Is large, and hard is used because it has the advantage of using less resin liquid. In the present invention, the mixture liquid 1 is poured into the root 2 of the epiphytic orchid obtained by mixing the urethane foam resin main agent liquid and the curing agent liquid, and further removing the planting material, but the mixture liquid 1 is mixed for about 15 seconds. Has a low viscosity, the resin foam 4 is formed after it has entered the small gaps between the roots. Therefore, the effect of fixing the roots to each other is particularly large. Furthermore, in the presence of water, there is a characteristic that urethane foaming resin reaction does not occur, and roots of epiphytic orchids containing water 2
Since it does not adhere to, it actually acts only to wrap the epiphytic orchid root 2, and there is no particular burden on the root.
Foaming is completed in about 2 minutes, which is excellent in workability. Further, it is said that the reaction heat of foaming is 80 to 100 degrees Celsius, but when creating a large lump, warmth is felt when radiating heat, but not when the root portion of the present invention is fixed. The reason for this is that root 2 of epiphytic orchid is thicker than that of terrestrial plants,
Furthermore, since it is wet with water and the root itself is almost water, it seems that the cooling effect of water acts on the heat of reaction. Also, the root 2 of the epiphytic orchid is covered with a root cover layer (Belemmen layer) around the root 2 of the epiphytic orchid in order to retain water from the place where the epiphyte is grown and prevent it from drying. There is no particular burden on the root in the fixing operation using the urethane foam resin according to the present invention. For the above reasons, according to the present invention, when roots 2 and roots 2 of epiphytic orchid are fixed with resin foam 4 and the wobble of the root part of the plant is artificially eliminated and planted, planting and cropping are prevented. And has the effect of leading to stable cultivation.

The effect of the present invention was investigated by comparing the cultivation example of the flowerpot shown in FIG. 4 of claim 1 with the cultivation example of the conventional method shown in FIG. After removing the first-flowered Phalaenopsis orchid and leaving the flower stalk, remove the planting material and replant it to obtain the effect of replanting. First, planting was carried out according to the cultivation example of the flower pot of claim 1 in FIG. At this time, water moss was used as the implant material 8. According to the conventional method, according to the cultivation example of FIG. 10, water moss was used for the planting material 8 of the flower pot. Cultivation was carried out in this state, and the number of days required from the planting date to the second flower bud development was investigated. The results are shown in Table 1.

[Table 1] As shown in Table 1, in the cultivation example of claim 1 of the present invention, the number of days required for the second flower bud generation of the Phalaenopsis orchid is such that flower bud generation occurs 4 weeks after replanting, but conventional cultivation method is used. This is not seen in the examples. This is because the root epiphytic state changes drastically during replanting, so flower buds will probably occur next season. This clear difference is that the root part of the epiphytic orchid of the present invention is characterized by the fixing method, and it is possible to prevent planting damage and cropping due to changes in the epiphytic state at the time of repotting, as compared with conventional cultivation.
