The technical result of the patented solution is to provide the required air exchange and soil moisture. The claimed technical result is achieved due to the design of the container for indoor plants, which contains an outer casing with a hole in which the inner container is partially inserted so that between the bottom of the outer case and the bottom of the inner container there is a space for filling with water, the bottom and side surface of the inner container are made with holes, and the shape and size of the outer casing corresponds to the shape and size of the inner container, while protrusions are formed on the outer surface of the inner container.

Description

The utility model relates to the field of indoor plant growing, namely, containers for growing indoor plants, in particular indoor violets.

The following solutions are known in the art.

So, from the description of the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2323740 (published on June 27, 2008), a flower pot is known that contains a bottom with an opening, a wall forming a coiled trough that has jumpers dividing it into sections to prevent water from flowing from one section to another when watering plants.

In addition, a container is known (JPH patent No. 01196231, published 08/08/1989), which contains a base with holes, support parts, side walls containing sections that are fastened together, along the outer edge of which holes are made for connection to subsequent sections by rods. In addition, a support rod may be inserted into the base. The container is configured to resize.

A container is known, which is a clay pot, inside of which there is an insert for placing soil and plants (German application No. 4244370, published 04.11.1993).

Also known container for indoor plants containing a flower pot and flowerpot. The plant is planted in a flowerpot tab and inserted into a cache-pot. To avoid excessive watering or washing the pot, the tab can be pulled out (website http://pink-apple.ru/product/kashpo-plastik-arte-belo-chernyj/).

Disadvantages are the likelihood of clogging holes in the ground, the difficulty of controlling watering.

As you know, indoor plants require proper watering of the soil. It is impossible to accurately calculate the irrigation regime, because the need of plants, in particular violets, for irrigation depends on several factors, namely:

- lighting. The more intense the lighting, the faster the substrate dries;

- air humidity. The lower the humidity, the more watering will be necessary. On cloudy rainy days, the humidity is very high, so pay attention to how slowly the substrate dries;

- It matters how long the violet has been transplanted, how developed its root system is. If the roots are already well covered with a lump of substrate, it will dry out quite quickly;

- the moment of flowering. Flowering bushes of senpolia can consume more water, this must be taken into account;

- composition of the substrate. A light, very friable substrate dries faster than a denser one;

- air temperature. It is clear that at lower air temperatures the substrate dries out more slowly (website http://myflora.in.ua/poliv-uchimsya-chuvstvovat-fialku.html).

Thus, it is extremely difficult to calculate the volume and frequency of irrigation, and therefore, it is difficult to provide the most comfortable conditions for the plant.

The closest analogue to the patented solution is a container for indoor plants (RF patent No. 154046, published 08/10/2015). The container contains an outer casing with a hole in which the inner container is partially inserted so that between the bottom of the outer casing and the bottom of the inner container there is a space for filling with water, while the bottom and side surface of the inner container are made with holes, and the shape and size of the holes of the outer casing corresponds to the shape and size of that part of the inner container that is in contact with its edges.

During operation of this container, it was found that due to respiration of plant roots and water being drawn into the soil from the pots due to the capillary effect, a vacuum is formed in the space between the container with the soil and the pots and moisture and air exchange between the soil and the pots are disrupted, as well as disrupted water supply to the roots of plants.

The technical result of the patented solution is to increase the reliability of nutrition of the root system of the plant with water by achieving the required air exchange and soil moisture.

The claimed technical result is achieved due to the design of the container for indoor plants, which contains an outer casing with a hole in which the inner container is partially inserted so that between the bottom of the outer case and the bottom of the inner container there is a space for filling with water, the bottom and side surface of the inner container are made with holes, and the shape and size of the outer casing corresponds to the shape and size of the inner container, while protrusions are formed on the outer surface of the inner container.

The holes made on the inner container are vertical slots, the inner container and the outer container are made of expanding shape, made of a polymer material.

At least two internal containers (one into the other) can be inserted into the outer casing, which will increase the amount of water for irrigation.

The protrusions are made in the form of vertically oriented ribs and are located on the outer surface of the side walls of the outer casing. The protrusions are located at an equal distance from each other for balance and stability. These protrusions do not allow the inner container to fully enter the outer container, providing free space between the bottoms and side walls of the outer container and the inner container.

Thus, due to the implementation of the ribs on the outer surface of the inner tank and due to the formation of free space between the bottoms and side walls of the housing and the tank, as well as due to the holes in the bottom and the side surface of the inner tank, free air circulation and the supply of the required amount of water to the root plant system due to the capillary effect, while the holes are not clogged with soil and there is no need for constant monitoring of plant watering.

The container is produced by injection molding.

Further, the solution is illustrated by reference to the figures, which represent the following.

FIG. 1 is a general view of the container with protrusions on the side surfaces of the inner container.

FIG. 2 is a view of the container of FIG. 1 bottom.

FIG. 3 is a general view of the container with protrusions on the bottom of the inner container.

FIG. 4 is a view of a container with two inner containers inserted in an outer case.

As shown in the figure, the container comprises an outer casing 1, into which the inner container 2 is partially inserted so that a space is formed between the bottom and side walls of the outer casing and the bottom and side walls of the inner container. Vertical slots are made on the side surface of the inner container, and holes (not shown) are made on the bottom. The inner container 2 is held in the opening of the housing due to the size and protrusions 3 made on the outer surface of the inner container 2. The protrusions 3 can be made in the form of longitudinal ribs on the side walls of the inner container 2 (Fig. 1, 2) or in the form of legs on the outer the surface of the bottom of the inner tank 2 (Fig. 3, 4). The protrusions 3 do not allow the inner container 2 to fully enter the outer container 1, thereby creating a space for improved air exchange and to ensure the extension of plant life.

The inner container 2 is removed from the outer case 1, into which water is poured, after which the inner container returns to its place.
