Title: Improved structure for a plant culture container. Field of the invention

The present invention relates to an improved plant culture container, and more particularly to a container capable of guiding the root of a plant such that it grows downward and anchors the plant in the soil.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Referring to Figure 1, a conventional plant culture container 1 comprises a container groove 10, one or more transverse horizontal root guide lines 11 arranged from a higher edge to a lower edge of the inner wall of the container 1 and a plurality of vertical vertical guides arranged on the inner wall of the container. root guide lines perpendicular to the horizontal root guide lines 12, without being in contact with the horizontal root guide lines 12.

When a plant 2 is grown in the container, the roots of the plant 2 may be forced to grow downward along the vertical root guidance lines 12, but the vertical root guidance lines 12 and the horizontal root guidance lines 11 on the inner wall of the container are not with each other connected so that after the root 20 of plant 2 fills the inner wall of container 1 and the root 20 of plant 2 is in contact with one or more horizontal root guiding lines on the inner wall of the container 1, the root is several laps along the horizontal root guiding lines 11 will continue to grow on the inner wall of the container 1 and climb upwards, so that the root 20 of plant 2 1033535

2 will be wound around a higher edge of the holder 1 (as shown in Figure 2).

If the root 20 of the plant 2 has climbed one or more rounds of the horizontal root guide lines 11, the root 20 is no longer able to grow further along the horizontal root guide lines 11, but the root 20 will grow out of the holder 1. At this time, the root 20 of the plant 2 is exposed from the container groove 10, and therefore the plant will not be able to absorb sufficient nutrients, and the growth of the plant 2 will be adversely affected by insufficient absorption of nutrients from the root 20.

When the root 20 of the plant 2 is wound around the higher edge of the holder groove 10 of the holder 1 and exposed to the outside, the root 20 of the plant 2 grows upwards and the growth of the plant is affected, and is it is therefore very difficult to anchor the plant in the soil.

summary of the invention 20

It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved structure for a plant culture container to limit downward growth, and for leading the root downward and anchoring the plant in the soil.

To achieve this goal, the present invention provides an improved structure for a plant culture container, comprising a container provided with a container groove; a plurality of vertical root guide lines arranged at a specific mutual distance and formed on an inner wall of the container; and one or more horizontal root guidance lines arranged around the inner wall of the container and coupled to the interior of the container, to limit the root of the plant to downward growth and to improve the plant and anchor it in the soil.

With the improved structure for a plant culture container, the present invention can achieve the following effects: 1. The direction of growth of the roots of a plant is limited. With the horizontal root guiding lines and the vertical root guiding lines, alternately arranged on the inner wall of the holder groove of the holder, so that when the plant grows, the root is wound along the horizontal root guiding lines and vertical root guiding lines and grows downward in the holder, so that the root is downward can grow and the plant can be anchored in the earth.

2. The root of the plant is better anchored in the soil. With the container of the present invention, the root of the plant grows along the horizontal root guidance lines and vertical root guidance lines, so that the root of the plant can be anchored much better in the soil.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings which show the various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3 for the structure of the plant culture container 3, 25, the structure comprises a container 3 with a container groove 30, a plurality of horizontal root guide lines 31 arranged at a specific mutual vertical distance and formed on the inner wall of the container 3, in which one or more vertical root guide lines 32, 32a are arranged around the inner wall of the holder 3 and are coupled to the horizontal root guide lines 31.

In the structural design of a preferred embodiment of the present invention a sloping line 33 is formed at the connection end of the vertical root guide lines 32, 32a and the horizontal root guide lines 31, as shown in Fig. 3. In the structural design of another preferred embodiment of In the present invention, an arc 33a or a curved line or a geometric shape is formed at the connection end of the vertical root guide lines 32, 32a and the horizontal root guide lines 31, as shown in FIG. 9.

In the structural design of the present invention, the horizontal root guide lines 31 can be arranged on a lower edge of an inner wall of the container 3, 3a, as shown in Figures 6 and 10, around the root guide lines 34, 34a in the form of a forming a connected ring or root guide lines in a sawtooth shape (not shown in the figures); and the root guidance lines 34,34a may be interrupted root guidance lines 35, 35a, as shown in the structural design of Figures 7 and 11, or may be interrupted streamlined or geometric root guidance lines 36, 36a, as illustrated in the structural designs of Figures 8 and 12.

Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the holder 3 has horizontal root guide lines 31 and vertical root guide lines 32 which are arranged on an inner wall of the holder 3, for restricting the plant 2 in the holder 3 to grow downwards, so that when the If the plant is grown in the holder groove 30 of the holder 3, the root 20 of the plant 2 will grow along the horizontal root guiding lines 31, coupled to the vertical root guiding lines 32, around the root 20 of the plant 30 conductively repeatedly downward and into the holder groove. 30 to grow 6 distributed, to strengthen the root 20 of the plant 2 and to anchor it much better in the soil.

If the root 20 of the plant 2 fills the holder groove, the root 5 will climb up along the vertical root guide lines 32 on the inner wall of the holder 3. If the root 20 of the plant 2 is in contact with the horizontal root guide lines 31, the horizontal root guide lines 31 to cause the root 20 to grow downwardly along another vertical root guide line 32a and within the inner wall of the container 3.

If the root 20 of the plant 2 is in contact with another vertical root guidance line 32a, coupled to the horizontal root guidance line 31, the root will grow along another vertical root guidance line 32a, and then to the bottom of the holder groove 30 of the holder 3 .

Therefore, the root 20 of the plant 2 is guided along the horizontal root guidance line 31 and the vertical root guidance line 32, so that the root 20 can grow in a controlled downward direction within the holder groove 30 of the holder 3, and the root 20 of the plant 2 is forced grow downwards and become anchored in the earth.

Because the root 20 of the plant 2 is guided by horizontal root guiding line 31 and vertical root guiding lines 32, 32a, the root 20 of the plant 2 can grow more steadily within the holder groove 30 of the holder 3 to achieve the effect of preventing that the root 20 is exposed to the environment and that the root 20 of the plant 2 is guided to grow downwards and the plant 2 is anchored in the soil.
