Planting container and planting structure

The present invention relates to a container, in particular to a planting container and a planting structure having the planting container.

The life of plants and people can be said to be inseparable. Plants not only play a major role in various cycles of the ecosystem (such as nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle, oxygen cycle, etc.), but many studies also indicate that plants have positive effects on human physiology and psychology. Therefore, the importance of environmental greening work has also increased in recent years.

Generally speaking, environmental greening work is not only implemented in public spaces and open environments, such as streets and parks, but also in home life and working environment. For example, planting various potted plants in a balcony or office at home can not beautify the environment. It also relieves stress in life and work and creates a comfortable atmosphere.

Anyone who has experience in planting knows that plants need to be raised well. The most important job is to regularly water. Therefore, for the plant to be planted, the caregiver needs to understand its physiological characteristics (such as water demand) and record the time of each watering in order to provide the water needed for its growth in a timely and appropriate amount, avoiding excessive water or water in the plant. Insufficient and withered or died.

However, for many busy modern people, in order to balance work and family, there is almost no extra time or thought to remember to regularly water the water, so often forget to water the plants to kill the plants, or simply give up planting To save trouble.

In this regard, in the prior art, although a flowering reminder function has been proposed, there are still many inconveniences in practical applications. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a novel solution.

One of the main purposes of the present invention is to provide a planting container that utilizes visual changes to display the hydration state of the plant, which mainly comprises: an inner wall defining a receiving space; an outer wall surrounding the outer side of the inner wall, and The inner wall is spaced apart; a water absorbing layer is disposed between the inner wall and the outer wall and is in fluid communication with the receiving space; a pattern layer is disposed outside the water absorbing layer; and a base is disposed on the The inner wall and the outer wall are below.

When the plant is planted by the planting container, the soil can be placed in the accommodating space defined by the inner wall, and the root of the plant can be deeply penetrated into the soil. When the user waters the soil, a part of the water can be absorbed by the water absorbing color layer. And a color change occurs. At this time, the user can confirm whether the plant has sufficient moisture by matching the color of the pattern layer with the water-containing water-staining layer. When the moisture is insufficient after a certain period of time, the water-stained color-changing layer will return to a dry, non-aqueous state. At this time, by matching the color of the pattern layer with the dried water-absorbing color-changing layer, the user can observe that the plant is in a water-deficient state and needs to be watered.

In a preferred embodiment, the pattern layer has a first area of a first color and a second area of a second color, the first color being different from the second color, the first The area has a first hollow pattern, and the second area has a first The second hollow pattern, and the water-absorbing color-changing layer exhibits the second color when it absorbs water, and presents the first color when dried.

In addition, in a preferred embodiment, the first hollow pattern is similar to the shape of the root of the plant, and the second hollow pattern is similar to the shape of the crack formed by the drying of the soil, so that the planting container and the plant are combined to produce Overall visual effect.

On the other hand, the present invention also proposes a planting structure which is achieved by using the above-mentioned planting container, wherein the planting container is provided with a first soil block and a second soil block, both of which are shaped to at least partially with the receiving space. Correspondingly, the seed system is embedded between the first soil block and the second soil block. Accordingly, when the user wants to start planting, the seed embedded on the surface of the second soil block only needs to be placed down into the accommodating space, so that the seed is located between the two soil blocks, and watering is performed until the water is discolored. The color change occurs in the layer. For example, the planting container has a shape similar to the shape of the root of the plant and the shape of the soil-like crack is disappeared, so that the first watering operation can be completed. After that, it is only necessary to regularly water the water according to the pattern change of the container. For example, when the shape of the root of the plant disappears and the shape like the dry crack of the soil appears, the planting can be successfully completed.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic view of an embodiment of the planting structure, showing the state before adding water, adding water and adding water from left to right. The planting structure 100 mainly includes a planting container 10, soil filled in the planting container 10, and plants planted in the soil.

The color of the inner water-absorbing color layer.

In the case where the water content is low, the water-absorbing discoloration layer contained in the planting container 10 is in a state of being dry, not containing water or low in water, and exhibiting a dry state. For example, the color of the dry state of the water-absorbing color-changing layer may be the same as the color of the first region 51. Therefore, when the water content of the planting structure 100 is low, the first hollow pattern 51a of the first region 51 exhibits an inner dry state. The color of the water-absorbing color-changing layer, that is, the same color as the first region 51, does not find that the first region 51 has a pattern. On the other hand, at this time, the second hollow pattern 52a of the second region 52 exhibits the color of the water-staining layer which is also in the inner dry state. Since the color is different from the color of the second region 52, the user can observe the first The pattern of the two regions 52.

In the present embodiment, the second hollow pattern 52a used in the planting container 10 is similar to the shape of the crack formed by the drying of the soil, so when the user sees the second hollow pattern 52a, it can be intuitively known that watering needs to be performed. .

As shown in Fig. 1, during the watering process, a part of the water will flow out of the soil and be absorbed by the water-absorbing color-changing layer. At this time, the water content of the water-absorbing color-changing layer gradually increases, and the color gradually begins to change, indirectly making the hollow pattern The color has also changed. For example, the colors of the first hollow pattern 51a and the second hollow pattern 52a may be gradually changed from the color of the first area 51 to the color of the second area 52, so that the first area 51 gradually emerges the first hollow pattern 51a. And the second hollow pattern 52a of the second region 52 gradually fades away.

After adding a certain amount of water, the water-absorbing discoloration layer is transformed into a high water-containing state, and the appearance also exhibits a color in a high water-containing state. At this time, the first hollow pattern 51a of the first region 51 becomes clearly visible, and the second hollow pattern 52a of the second region 52 almost completely disappears.

In the present embodiment, the first hollow pattern 51a adopted by the planting container 10 is similar to the shape of the root of the plant, so that when the user sees the first hollow pattern 51a, it is intuitively known that the plant has sufficient moisture.

Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, the color change of the water-absorbing discoloration layer relative to the pattern layer is utilized, and the image of the plant lacking water and the soil is dry and the plant is not dehydrated and the root is developed and sounded, so that the user can know whether it is necessary or not. Watering.

In the present creation, the water-absorbing color-changing layer can be made of any material having different colors before and after water absorption, that is, the hydrate of the material is different from the color of the anhydrate, or the monohydrate or the oligo is different from the polyhydrate. Things. In addition, the water absorbing layer is preferably made into a paper-like structure to facilitate subsequent installation.

In the present invention, the pattern layer is disposed on the outer side of the water-absorbing color-changing layer, for example, formed between the inner and outer walls, formed on the inner surface of the outer wall, or formed on the outer surface of the outer wall. In general, the pattern layer may be any color-colored item, preferably a waterproof sheet-like item, such as a card point, but not limited thereto.
