Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a flowerpot, and more specifically, to a flowerpot using the seeds of a kaji.

Generally speaking, pots made of earthenware are used because they drain well and are suitable for growing plants. Although this ceramic pot was suitable for plants, it had the disadvantage that it was extremely brittle and could be damaged by the slightest impact. There is also a type of rectangular wooden box called a stone stand, but it cannot be kept indoors permanently because it is prone to corrosion if kept in a constantly damp state and muddy soil is likely to flow out from the joints of the planks. I had a difficult problem.

The present invention was created in view of the above circumstances, and by taking advantage of the advantages of the flowerpot using the berries of the husks, and also taking advantage of the original characteristics of the berries of the husks, The purpose is to provide a flower pot that not only provides an optimal environment for plants but also is easy to maintain.

The present invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

A flowerpot 1 which is an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG.
As shown in Fig. 2, it consists of a cypress fruit divided into two horizontally from the base a where the sepals are located to the top b. The cornucopia fruit is composed of an exocarp 2, an endocarp 3, and a fibrous mesocarp 4 existing between the two, and the inside of the endocarp 3 is filled with endosperm. Then, after dividing the seedling into two parts as described above, the endosperm within the endocarp 3 is removed to complete the flowerpot 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the flowerpot 1 formed in this manner has water stored in the endocarp 3,
A plant is planted in the mesocarp 4 and presented for viewing. The mesocarp 4 serves as a substitute for ordinary soil, and is ideal for planting plants because it is fibrous, flexible, and has good water retention. In addition, since the endocarp 3 has good permeability, if water is stored therein, water gradually permeates into the mesocarp 4, and an appropriate amount of water can be supplied. Furthermore, the exocarp is breathable, like unglazed pottery, so it can supply an appropriate amount of oxygen to the roots of the plant, allowing the plant to grow smoothly. In addition, in order to apply fertilizer to plants, it is sufficient to spray it on the mesocarp 4, and depending on the plant, soil or the like may be mixed in.

In addition, the exterior of the flower pot 1 is made up of a half-egg-shaped exocarp 2, which would be unstable if placed on a flat plate such as a desk, so it has a maximum opening and has fewer holes than the endocarp 3. It is preferable to make a small hole in the peripheral edge of the exocarp 2, which is easy to open, and attach a string 5, which is a linear body of the present invention, to hang it from the ceiling. The string 5 is
When made by twisting together leaves and fibrous materials, it has a certain charm.

Figure 3 shows another embodiment in which the mesocarp 4 around the upper edge of the endocarp 3 is gouged out at predetermined intervals and the root of the plant is inserted deeply into the mesocarp to improve the stability of the plant. That is.

As explained above, the present invention is a flower pot made from the seeds of the husks, and efficiently utilizes the characteristics of the endocarp, mesocarp, and exocarp that make up the seeds of the sardines. In other words, by storing water in the endocarp, water can be gradually supplied to the mesocarp where the plant is planted, preventing root rot and withering of the roots. This way, there is no need to frequently water the plants, and you can visually check how much water is being consumed, making plant maintenance and management really easy.
Additionally, the mesocarp on which plants are planted is fibrous, flexible, and easy to maintain, so it can provide an optimal environment for plants to take root. Furthermore, the exocarp is breathable and can supply a suitable amount of oxygen to the roots of the plant, and together with the characteristics of the mesocarp, it requires almost no effort, making it a flower pot that provides an optimal growing environment. Furthermore, since water is gradually supplied from the endocarp and the mesocarp has high water-retaining properties, there is no fear that the exocarp itself will corrode.
