Water storage type cultivation container and its receiving tank

The present invention provides a water storage type cultivation container, in particular to a water storage type cultivation container which utilizes the capillary principle of the cultivation medium and absorbs water from the storage tank as a long-term water supply method without pouring the plants. The present invention further provides a cuvette for a water storage type cultivation container.

When plants are cultivated in a container, such as a flower pot or a vegetable trough, the traditional method of water supply is to directly pour the plants from top to bottom. When the cultivation medium, such as soil, peat soil, coconut fiber, etc., is too dry, the water poured down often flows quickly through the slit of the medium, and is discharged outside the container, and cannot be effectively diffused to the medium of the entire container. Therefore, today's cultivation containers are often provided with a water collecting device, such as a water tray or a water storage tank, such as the "Improvement of the water storage and moisturizing device of the flower pot" in the patent application No. 244737 of the National Patent Publication No. 517, 519, and the "combination flower of the Patent No. 517519 The basin is to collect the discharged water by using the water tray at the bottom of the container, and then let the water be sucked into the flower pot to spread the water evenly on the one hand, and to extend the time limit of the moisturizing of the flower pot and the time interval of watering on the other hand. However, as mentioned in the specification of the above-referenced patent, if the water collecting device causes poor drainage of the medium, it will cause long-term water accumulation, which will eventually lead to the rotten root of the plant. In order to avoid this problem, the additional water collecting devices of such pelvic bottoms are usually small and shallow, and the water storage depth is usually no more than 3 to 5 cm. The purpose is to allow the water to be used in a short period of time, so that the bottom is re-ventilated. Instead of using the water collection device for long-term storage as the main water supply method. Therefore, the main water supply method of the cultivation container with the water collecting device is still the pouring type. Even if the water collecting and reabsorbing method is used to overcome the problem of uneven watering, there are still disadvantages including: soil splash to blade propagation. Soil-borne diseases, media loss, medium humidity (even temperature) changes, and the need to empirically judge the timing of watering and so on.

If the water tray at the bottom of the general potted plant is filled with water for a long period of time, the plant growth will be severely limited due to the high water absorption rate of the medium, and an anaerobic reaction may occur in the medium to cause a foul odor. In order to control the water absorption efficiency, many water storage type cultivation containers use additional water absorbing elements (or capillary elements) such as cotton rope, flannel, porous material and the like. For example, in the "Water Storage Planting Box" of the Patent No. 507640 and the "Bottom Water Storage Structure" of the No. 439,977 patent, such a cultivation device usually has a cultivation layer on top, a water storage layer on the bottom, and two The layers are connected by a water absorbing element to transfer moisture, and the rate of moisture transfer is determined by the water absorbing element. However, there are two main problems with known water absorbing elements: one, such as cotton rope and flannel, which may be mildewed by long-term wetting; and secondly, only the medium near the water absorbing element is kept moist and the water supply is not uniform. In practical applications, water storage type pots using water absorbing elements are mostly small, medium, or indoor. In an outdoor cultivation environment, the water consumption of the plant involves the weather and the size of the plant, and the fixed water transfer rate of the water absorbing element does not necessarily provide a sufficient operating range.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a water storage type cultivation container which can absorb water from a water storage tank and can completely avoid pouring, and can stably operate in various cultivation situations, including indoor or outdoor planting, small potted flowers or large-scale vegetable and fruit plants. .

The present invention provides a water storage type cultivation container, in particular to a water storage type cultivation container which utilizes the capillary principle of the cultivation medium and absorbs water from the storage tank as a long-term water supply method without pouring the plants.
