Abstract

The irrigation disc with fertiliser cartridge consists of two parts, namely a rot-resistant synthetic felt and a replaceable fertiliser cartridge. Automatic long-term irrigation is effected, on the one hand, by the absorbent felt, and long-term fertilisation is provided, on the other hand, by the fertiliser contained in the cartridge. While the fertiliser cartridge should be changed roughly every six months, the irrigation disc can be used for several years.

Die erfindungsgemäße Bewässerungsscheibe mit auswech- seibarer Düngepatrone besteht aus zwei Stücken in be¬ liebigen Formen: der wasserspeichernden Scheibe aus Filz, Synthetikfilz oder anderem.Material und .der Düngepatrone. Sie bewirkt durch ihre Saugfähigkeit einen guten Wasserabzug für das überflüssige Gießwasser und einen Wasservorrat für die Pflanzen, je nach Größe des Übertopfes und der Raumtemperatur bis zu einer Woche und länger. Durch die gleichmäßige Wasserabgabe, die unveränder- ten Wassertemperaturen und die erhöhte Luftfeuch¬ tigkeit gedeihen die Pflanzen weitaus besser, als wenn sie täglich gegossen werden. Jede Scheibe enthält außerdem eine Düngepatrone mit Langzeit¬ dünger, mit der die Pflanze für etwa 6 Monate op- timal mit Nährstoffen versorgt wird. 3 -The watering disc according to the invention with an exchangeable fertilizer cartridge consists of two pieces in any shape: the water-storing disc made of felt, synthetic felt or other material and the fertilizer cartridge. Due to its absorbency, it causes a good water drainage for the excess irrigation water and a water reserve for the plants, depending on the size of the cachepot and the room temperature for up to a week or longer. The plants thrive much better than if they were watered daily due to the even water release, the unchanged water temperatures and the increased air humidity. Each disc also contains a fertilizer cartridge with long-term fertilizer, with which the plant is optimally supplied with nutrients for about 6 months. 3 -
Durch die Verwendung von mehreren Scheiben über¬ einander läßt sich der Wasservorrat beliebig ver¬ längern, so daß die Pflanzen sich über einen län- geren Zeitraum hinweg selber versorgen.By using several discs on top of each other, the water supply can be extended as desired, so that the plants can take care of themselves over a longer period of time.
Die ideale Kombination der Bewässerung und Düngung von unten garantiert optimales Pflanzenwachstum. Das Hauptproblem, wie oft und wann Zimmerpflanzen gegossen und gedüngt werden müssen, gehört bei richtiger Anwendung der Bewässerungsscheibe mit auswechselbarer Düngepatrone der Vergangenheit an.The ideal combination of irrigation and fertilization from below guarantees optimal plant growth. The main problem of how often and when indoor plants have to be watered and fertilized is a thing of the past if the watering disc with replaceable fertilizer cartridge is used correctly.
Die Neuerungen sind nicht auf die dargestellten Einzelheiten beschränkt, vielmehr auch abgeän- dert ausführbar, sofern nur die Erf ndungs erk- male zum Ausdruck kommen.The innovations are not limited to the details shown, but can also be modified, provided only the inventive features are expressed.
