Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a plant-glowing vessel that corn readily examine the conditions or states of the growing plant roots and the plant-surrounding soil from the outside without digging out the soil in the plant-growing vessel. SOLUTION: At least one side wall on the inner pot 2 composed of a bottom- having inner pot and a bottom-having and inner pot-surrounding outer pot 1 is made clear or translucent holding tools 5 are attached to the upper edge of the inner pot 2, and holes 6 are bored on at least the bottom wall 22. When one wants to know the conditions or states of the plant roots and the soil, the holders are pulled up to take out the inner pot 2 from the outer pot 1 whereby they can be directly observed and water and fertilizer can be applied, as the roots and soil are watched. The over-supplied water is drained from the through-holes bored on the bottom wall 22 and the side walls.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cultivator for planting flowers, houseplants, etc., such as a flowerpot or a planter, comprising an outer pot and an inner pot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, cylindrical flowerpots and box-shaped planters (hereinafter referred to as "cultivators") have been widely used for cultivating flowers and houseplants. These cultivators are generally made of clay unglazed or made of opaque plastic. Once soil is put into this cultivator and plants are planted, the state of the soil and the roots of the plants cannot be seen .
For this reason, there has been a problem that the plants often cause root rot due to overwatering, and the plants often die due to water withering.

In order to solve such a problem, as shown in FIG. 2, a bottomed cylindrical pot body 10 having a through hole in the bottom wall.
And a bottomed cylindrical receiving tray 11 on which the pot body is placed. An opening 12 having a vertical length capable of detecting a water level is provided on an outer peripheral wall of the receiving tray 11, and the opening window is provided. There is known a transparent plug 13 that is provided with a water level window that displays a water level display line 14 at a position substantially at the same height as the bottom wall of the pot body 10, which is provided with a transparent plug 13 that closes the transparent plug 13. According to this, since the state of water accumulation in the receiving pan 11 can be confirmed through the transparent plug 13, it is possible to prevent over-watering and water withering.

[0004]

However, even if the water level is checked in a timely manner and an appropriate amount of water is replenished,
Water does not seep into the soil inside the pot body, especially in the case of plants with shallow roots, almost no absorption of water from the roots,
With the passage of time, the plant grows worse due to water withering,
Sometimes died. In general, it is important to examine the condition of root growth and the condition of the soil around the roots in order to know the cause of poor plant growth. Digging up the soil in the cultivator, examining the growing condition of the roots of the plant and the condition of the soil.After examining the soil carefully, replanting the plant,
It required a lot of work, such as having to provide water and fertilizer as needed.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the conventional cultivation device, and can easily and easily grow plant roots in a timely manner without excavating the soil in the cultivation device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cultivation device capable of examining the condition of the soil and appropriately providing water and fertilizer as needed.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present inventor has set a cultivator as a double structure of an outer pot and an inner pot which can be easily taken in and out of the outer pot, and at least a side wall of the inner pot. Is transparent or translucent, the inner pot can be pulled out from the outer pot and the root can be easily grown and the soil condition around the root can be known from the outside. I came to the knowledge that I can do it.

[0007] The present invention has been made based on such knowledge, and is a plant cultivator comprising a bottomed inner pot and a bottomed outer pot surrounding the inner pot. A cultivator having at least a side wall made of a transparent body or a translucent body, a grip portion provided at an upper edge, and a through hole provided at least in a bottom wall is characterized.

[0008]

By lifting the grip provided on the upper edge of the inner pot of the cultivator of the present invention, the inner pot can be easily taken out of the outer pot, and the inner pot is lifted or placed on a table as appropriate. Place the roots and observe the condition of the soil around the roots.If the condition of the roots and the soil around the roots is good, insert them into the outer bowl as they are.If you want to give water or fertilizer, replace the inner bowl with the outer bowl. It can be given properly while being removed from the eye while looking directly at it.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Transparent or translucent glass or plastic is used for at least the side wall of the inner pot used in the present invention. No problem. Further, the grip portion provided on the upper edge for taking in and out of the outer bowl may be formed by bending the upper edge outward, and a hook is attached to the upper edge, and a rope or a chain is tied to the hook. But it is good. Furthermore, inserting a spacer between the inner pot and the outer pot, making the outer diameter of the inner pot smaller than the inner diameter of the outer pot, or making the inner pot side taper larger than the outer pot side taper, The inner pot is configured not to be in close contact with the outer pot when the inner pot is attached to the outer pot. In addition, in order to prevent root rot due to excessive watering, through holes are preferably provided in the bottom wall of the inner pot, preferably in the lower part of the side wall.

[0010]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic side sectional view of the cultivator of the present invention showing a state where an inner pot is attached to an outer pot. In the figure, 1 is an outer bowl of opaque plastic, 2 is an inner bowl, and both the side wall 21 and the bottom wall 22 are made of transparent plastic, and the bottom wall 22 and the lower part of the side wall 21 have through holes 6 for drainage. Each is provided in several places. 3 is a spacer, 4 is a hook attached to the upper edge of the inner pot, and 5 is a nylon rope for lifting the inner pot 2. 7 is a houseplant, 8 is a root of the houseplant, and 9 is soil put in an inner pot.

When observing the condition of the root 8 and the soil 9, the inner pot 2 is pulled up with the nylon rope 5, but since the corner of the spacer 3 hits the inner wall of the outer pot 1,
The inner pot 2 does not adhere to the inner pot 2, and the inner pot 2 can be easily taken out. The state of the root 8 and the soil 9 is observed from the outside of the taken-out inner pot 2, and if there is no abnormality, the inner pot 2 is attached to the outer pot 1 as it is. When the growth of the root 8 is bad or the soil 9 around the root 8 is dry, the inner pot 2 is attached to the outer pot 1 after replenishing water and fertilizer while observing the root 8 and the soil 9. . Further, even if water is excessively applied, excess water is discharged from the through holes 6 provided in the lower portions of the bottom wall 22 and the side wall 21, so that there is no fear of root rot. Can be kept.

[0012]

As described above, the present invention comprises a transparent or translucent inner bowl having a bottom wall or a bottom wall and a through hole formed in a lower portion of the side wall, and a bottomed outer bowl surrounding the inner bowl. Because
By lifting the holding portion of the inner pot and taking it out of the outer pot, it is possible to easily observe the state of the roots of the plant and the soil around the root without soiling the hands from the outside. Water and fertilizer can be replenished while observing the condition of the roots and the soil around the roots, so that there is an excellent effect that the breeding of plants can always be kept good.
