Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for extending the life of a plant arranged in a vase by using a weak electric current to extend the life of the plant arranged in a vase.

[Technical fungi of the invention and one problem thereof] Plants usually grow by absorbing water and nutrients from their roots and distributing them to their trunks, leaves, flowers, etc.

However, since the roots of plants placed in vases have been cut off, the trunks and stems temporarily replace the roots, sucking up water into the vase and distributing it to the leaves, flowers, etc. Therefore, although the trunks and stems temporarily serve as roots, they cannot fulfill their original role of decomposing and absorbing nutrients, so only moisture is distributed to sweets and flowers, hindering their growth. As a result, it dies in a relatively short period of time.

Therefore, life-extending agents for cut flowers have come on the market.

This life-extending agent for cut flowers is mainly composed of sugar and fungicide, and instead of decomposing and sucking up nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium through the roots, it decomposes them. Second, the sugar produced within the plant is sucked up directly from the stems and trunks of the plant, thereby making the cut flowers last longer.

However, there is another major factor that causes plants in vases to wither, and it turns out that this factor is actually a bigger cause than the aforementioned factor that makes it impossible to decompose and absorb nutrients. did.

The reason for this is that when a plant is placed in a vase, sap oozes out from the cut end of the plant, and this sap causes bacteria to breed and block the plant's ducts, making it unable to absorb water and nutrients, causing branches and leaves to ooze out. This is a phenomenon in which the flowers wither without reaching the flowers.

Therefore, in order to eliminate this factor, it is necessary to frequently remove the portions blocked by bacteria, which is a disadvantage and requires a lot of effort.

In addition, for plants, the optimal water temperature for the plant is a necessary condition for longevity, and if the water temperature does not match the optimal humidity, the plant will often wither.

Therefore, it is important to make the plants in the vase last longer.

It is very difficult to do so, and although the above-mentioned life-extending agent for cut flowers is somewhat effective for plants, etc., there is currently no baby-sitter that will make the branches, leaves, flowers, etc. of trees arranged in vases last longer. The current situation was that it was good.

[Purpose of the Invention] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, this invention was created with the aim of making rootless plants arranged in vases last for a very long time using a very simple method. It is what was done.

[Summary of the Invention 1 To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention consists in immersing a current-carrying terminal in water in a vase in which a plant is placed, and passing a weak current through the water.

[Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

That is, the reference numeral 1 shown in the figure is a vase, and inside this vase 1, a plant 2 is arranged and water 3 is contained.

And the water 3I in this vase 1 is a weak current supply device @
The current-carrying terminal 5 of 4 is immersed in the water 3, and a weak current that is not perceptible to the human body is constantly applied to the water 3.

As a result, the generation of bacteria on the cut end 6 of the plant 2 kept in the vase 1 can be suppressed by chemically decomposing a portion of the water 3 using a weak electric current. Therefore, even if sap oozes out from the cut 6 of the plant 2, the generation of bacteria is suppressed, so the water 3 will not spoil, and the conduit at the cut 6 of the plant 2 will not be blocked by bacteria. Therefore, even if the cut 6 is not removed frequently, moisture and nutrients from the plant 2 can be absorbed very well.

Moreover, by applying a weak current in this way, it is possible to activate the plant 2 and promote the absorption of water and nutrients, etc. In addition, the temperature of the water 3 is suitable for the growth of the plant 2. Even if the temperature is low, the plant 2 is electrically stimulated by a weak current, giving vitality to the plant 2, and the lifespan of the rootless plant 2 can be extended.

On the other hand, as the weak current supply device 4, a light control device 7 with a touch sensor shown in the circuit of FIG. 2 may be used, although it is already commercially available. ``This light control device 7 with a touch sensor is designed so that when a human body or the like comes in contact with the 8 parts of the sensor, the electrical capacitance changes, thereby making it possible to blink the light or adjust the brightness. , a weak current is constantly flowing through this sensor 8.

By immersing this sensor 8 in the water 3 in the vase 1, a weak current can be passed through the water 3. When covered in this manner, the plants 2 in the vase 1 are activated as described above, promoting absorption of water and nutrients, and their lifespan can be extended even if the water temperature is not suitable. Moreover, as a secondary effect, since the water 3 has conductivity, even if the human body does not directly contact the sensor 8, if the human body comes into contact with the plant 2 in the vase 1, the lighting can be turned on or off or the illuminance can be adjusted. It is very tasteful and can kill two birds with one stone.

[Effects of the Invention] In the present invention configured as described above, the current-carrying terminal 5 is immersed in the water in the vase 1 in which the plant 2 is placed, and a weak current is passed through the water, whereby the plant 2 in the vase 1 is immersed. weak electric current
Activation is achieved by applying electrical stimulation through water flow; and water 3
Plants 2.
The conduit at the cut 6 of the plant 2 is not blocked by bacteria so that moisture and nutrients can be absorbed well, and even if the water temperature is not suitable for the growth of the plant 2, the electric stimulation gives vitality. This allows the rootless plant 2 in the vase 1 to have a very long lifespan.

As explained above, according to this invention, it is very easy to prolong the life of plants in vases without roots, that is, flowers, and especially plants, etc., which has never been done before. As a result, the plants in the house will not be kept green for a long time, and it will bring about excellent effects such as providing an elegant lifestyle.
