Seedling medium

This creation is about the field of plant cultivation, especially a seedling medium for cultivating seedlings, which has the advantages of labor saving and high quality, and can be used with automated production equipment.

Orchid is a kind of plant that is popular among the public, but it is not easy to cultivate orchids. The roots of orchids are aerial roots. They need to grow in a breathable environment. If the air permeability is not good, the orchids may be easily drained due to poor drainage after watering. Rotten roots, so each orchid is usually planted separately to maintain good ventilation and drainage, and easy for future cultivation and management.

When cultivating orchids for a period of time, the roots of the orchids will occupy a limited growth space in the basin, causing the roots to gradually entangle and die; or the roots block the potted drainage holes, causing the orchids to rot; or the roots of the orchids along the basin The edge grows out of the basin; or when the plant grows to require more room for growth, it is necessary to change the orchid to provide a good environment for the orchid to grow.

In order to change the orchid, the orchid and the seedling medium for planting the orchid should be taken out. Generally speaking, the seedling medium for planting the orchid is water grass, and then the orchid and the water grass are pressed together into the new culture pot, that is, the orchid is completed. Change the basin.

However, the traditional orchid changing method requires laboriously pressing the water grass into the new culture pot, which has complicated operation steps, which is not only time-consuming but also requires manual labor to complete the whole process, resulting in an increase in time cost and labor cost, and can not reduce the production of orchids. And the cost of cultivation; and because of the manual operation, the depth of each press may be different, and it is difficult to control the depth of the water in the pot; and the quality and state of each plant are different, it is difficult to stably cultivate the quality of orchids. .

In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a seedling medium, and the use of the seedling medium for cultivating plants can have a relatively simple step of changing the pot, which not only can effectively save manpower and time cost, but also improve the quality of the culture.

In order to achieve the above object, the seedling medium of the present invention comprises: a matrix body having a hollow cylindrical shape; and a seedling space surrounded and formed in the matrix body.

By the above technical means, the seedling medium of the present invention can help the grower to change the plants in a relatively simple manner, and can omit the traditional step of pressing the water grass into the culture pot, reducing the time and labor required, and Cultivate the size of the basin to design the matrix body, and can also be managed or produced with automated equipment to save costs and improve plant survival rate, thereby increasing the profitability.

Preferably, the matrix body has a notch formed radially inwardly, and the gap is in communication with the nursery space.

Preferably, the matrix body has a bonding portion and a tapered portion connected to each other, and the outer diameter of the tapered portion is smaller than the outer diameter of the bonding portion. More preferably, the outer diameter of the tapered portion is decreased from an end adjacent to the abutting portion toward an end remote from the abutting portion. More preferably, the fitting portion has a horseshoe shape in cross section, and the fitting portion has two closed ends adjacent to the two sides of the notch.

Preferably, the matrix body is formed by the culture soil and has elasticity.

Figure 4 is a top plan view of another embodiment of the creation seedling medium.

Referring to FIG. 1, the seedling medium 1 of the present invention comprises a matrix body 10 and a nursery space 20.

The matrix body 10 has a hollow cylindrical shape, and the matrix body 10 is formed by a solidified soil. The matrix body 10 has elasticity and can be appropriately deformed for placement in pots of different sizes for plant growth and climbing, and the substrate The body 10 further has a plurality of holes for maintaining the gas permeability of the root of the plant. Specifically, the matrix body 10 has a notch 11, a fitting portion 12 and a tapered portion 13.

The notch 11 is formed radially inwardly on the matrix body 10.

The bonding portion 12 is located at one end of the substrate body 10. The bonding portion 12 has a horseshoe shape in cross section, and the bonding portion 12 has two closed ends 121. The closed ends 121 are adjacent to the two sides of the notch 11 respectively.

The tapered portion 13 is connected to the bonding portion 12 and located at the other end of the substrate body 10. The outer diameter of the tapered portion 13 is smaller than the outer diameter of the bonding portion 12, and the outer diameter of the tapered portion 13 is One end adjacent to the bonding portion 12 is decremented toward an end away from the bonding portion 12.

The nursery space 20 is formed in the matrix body 10, and the nursery space 20 is surrounded by the fitting portion 12 and the tapered portion 13, and the nursery space 20 communicates with the notch 11.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. When the plant is to be cultivated, the seedling medium 1 is first placed in a potted plant A. Due to the setting of the notch 11, the outer diameter of the fitting portion 12 can be determined by the inside of the potted plant A. For example, when the inner diameter of the pot A is smaller than the outer diameter of the matrix body 10, the matrix body 10 is deformed by the inner edge of the pot A, and the distance between the closed ends 121 is reduced and The notch 11 of the matrix body 10 becomes small.

In the present embodiment, after the seedling medium 1 is placed in the potted plant A, the closed ends 121 are just in contact with each other, so that the nursery space 20 is completely surrounded by the matrix body 10; and the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 12 is just Abutting against the inner wall of the pot A, the fitting portion 12 prevents the plant when the plant P is cultivated The roots of P are scooped along the edge of the basin without intertwining with the roots of adjacent plants, resulting in subsequent difficulties in isolating the plants.

Next, the plant P is placed in the nursery space 20 of the seedling medium 1, and the plant P can be grown in a general manner, and since the outer diameter of the tapered portion 13 is smaller than the outer diameter of the fitting portion 12, the cone is shaped There is a gap between the portion 13 and the pot A, and the root of the plant P can grow in the gap and can be attached to the matrix body 10.

After a period of incubation, the breeder can easily remove the plant P and the seedling medium 1 and sell it according to demand, or switch to a larger pot to continue cultivation. No matter which of the two, the breeder only needs to plant the plant. P and the seedling medium 1 are taken out together, and the basin change can be completed, as shown in FIG.

Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 together, and the seedling medium 1 of the present invention can also be used in combination, thereby providing another use mode. After the cultivated plant P and the seedling medium 1 are taken out, the breeder can directly combine with another seedling medium 1A, and the step of changing the pot can be completed quickly, thereby increasing the effect of increasing the potting speed of the plant, and facilitating the automation. Production, saving manpower and time costs.

In summary, the seedling medium 1 of the present invention has the advantages of convenient basin change and sale, and the fitting portion 12 abutting against the edge of the bowl can prevent the roots of the adjacent plants from intertwining with each other, and the simple changing basin can make different sizes. The seedling medium 1 can be used in combination or in combination with automated equipment for management or production, which is conducive to improving the quality of the cultivated plants. In addition, the use of the seedling medium 1 of the present invention overcomes the problem of complicated traditional potting steps, greatly reducing manpower and time. Cost and increase the survival rate of the plants.
