Description

  The present invention makes it possible to use a flower vase for producing cut flowers as a flower pot.

Until now, there are things that use flower vases with no holes at the bottom of the pot as flower pots, such as hydroponics of bulbs, and those that grow by dipping roots in water like water lilies. In the case of an indigenous plant, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a technique has been developed in which a sponge having a high water retention capacity is placed on the bottom of a flower vase, and an indigenous plant is planted thereon. No technology has been invented yet for filling a vase with soil suitable for plants and trees to be planted, watering the soil, and growing plants.

If you try to grow a seedling of a rooted flower in a vase that does not have a bottom hole, you will face trouble at the first planting stage. At the time of planting, the dry soil must be sufficiently watered to give the entire soil moderate moisture, but because there is no bottom hole, excess water is not drained and the soil becomes flooded. End up. If left as it is, the roots will rot and the seedlings will die.
Even if you try to drain the excess water in the vase by turning the vase upside down, it will cause a soil spill and will not work. Even if you try to drain the excess water while controlling the soil that flows out with the water by hand, the water contained in the soil is poorly cut and you will be forced to stay in that state for a considerable time.
When watering a flower seedling planted in a vase, when the surface of the soil is dry, give plenty of water to wash away the secretions from the roots and sneak germs. It is essential to keep the seedling healthy, but it is difficult to do in the case of a vase with no bottom hole.

  In the case of a vase with no holes in the bottom or sides, the air circulation necessary for plant growth is poor, and the oxygen and nitrogen required by the plant roots are insufficient, and plant growth is inhibited.

  When plants are planted in a vase with a relatively small opening area, if the leaves grow thick, it becomes difficult to do water or liquid fertilizer without spilling around the soil.

When a plant is planted in a glass vase that transmits light, if the vase is placed in a window where sunlight shines, the plant's root will be exposed to direct sunlight and the root will be damaged.
In addition, green algae are generated in soil that contains water due to sunlight, and it becomes noticeable, and the appearance of beautiful vases becomes unsightly.

  If you put a plant in a transparent glass vase or a light-colored glass vase, you can see the soil inside from the outside and ruin the appearance of the beautiful vase.

  Ikebana with cut flowers in clean water can be displayed in noble places such as between the entrance and the floor, or places that need to be clean like a table, but are planted in the soil. Is shunned because the soil itself and the fertilizer it gives are generally not as clean as fresh water, and there is a risk of infestation with bacteria and insects.

A tube is installed from the outside of the top of the vase to the bottom of the inside of the vase in order to pump out the water accumulated in the vase. Attach a fine mesh filter to the end of the tube so as not to draw anything other than water, such as soil. In order to pump out the excess water accumulated in the vase efficiently and in a short time, the strong force that water and air try to flow into the vacuum is used. A syringe is used for this purpose.
At the same time, fresh fresh air is taken into the soil from the opening of the flower vase, making up for the lack of oxygen and nitrogen.

The extra water pumping tube installed from the outside of the top of the vase to the bottom of the vase is also used as a tube for injecting fresh air into the vase. In order to inject fresh air into the container, a syringe prepared for draining excess water is used.
If you want to plant and grow rose trees and bloom and appreciate them, you will have to plant a rose tree in a fairly large vase, but in this case it takes too much time to inject air with a syringe, Use an electric small air pump.

If you give water or liquid fertilizer to a plant, especially plants like cyclamen that don't like to get water on the leaves or bulbs, make a tube that infuses water or liquid fertilizer and sprinkle the tube slightly away from the root. And inject using a syringe.
In addition, if the area of the opening of the vessel in which the plant is implanted is small, and the leaves are covered and covered with water, it is very difficult to water, so the tube for injecting water or liquid fertilizer should be close to the surface of the soil. Inject and inject with a syringe through the tube. The technology eliminates the risk of spilling water during watering.

  In order to prevent direct sunlight from irradiating the plant roots and to insulate the heat of conduction from the heated flower vases, perlite is used for shading as well as for heat insulation. In addition, when using a transparent glass vase, perlite is laid on the inner wall of the vase as a light-shielding and heat insulating material to prevent the beautiful appearance from being damaged by the soil inside the vase.

  Perlite used as a light-shielding and heat-insulating agent has high hygroscopicity, and when directly touching soil containing moisture, it absorbs moisture, and green algae are generated there by sunlight, making the appearance unsightly. Therefore, the pearlite used as a light-shielding and heat insulating agent is separated from the soil containing moisture by a waterproof sheet.

  The soil material is carefully selected only from clean materials to create the ideal soil for plant growth, and as fertilizer, animal feces and bones that may be contaminated with germs, humus, and smelly smells, Use only odorless and sterile chemical fertilizers, without using any organic fertilizers such as oil canisters that can attract flies.

  According to the present invention, a vase that highlights the beauty of a flower can be freely selected, a flower seedling can be planted in the vase, grown in a sunny place indoors, and bloomed to enjoy with an artistic sense be able to.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 1, a drainage tube is installed on a flower vase without a bottom hole from the outer side of the upper part of the vase to the inner side of the vase to the bottom of the vase. At the tip of the tube, attach a fine mesh filter so that soil and stones other than water are not sucked out. Suitable for plants to be planted on top of a tube with a filter installed at the bottom of the pot, placing a stone from the bottom of the pot to separate and collect water from the soil, and laying zeolite over it to purify the water. Put clean soil. Plant seedlings in the soil.
Connect the syringe to the top end of the tube, and use the strong force that water and air flow into the vacuum created by pulling out the cylinder inside the syringe. Discharge. The drainage tube is also used as a tube for injecting fresh fresh air into the device using a syringe.

As shown in FIG. 2, a water injection / liquid fertilizer tube is installed so that water or liquid fertilizer can be directly applied to the root of the planted plant. In this tube, many small holes are made and installed at a depth close to the root.
It is useful when you want to give water or liquid fertilizer to plants that don't want to be directly exposed to water or liquid fertilizer like cyclamen, or when you want to do water without spilling the water out of the flower vase. It will be a thing.

  Fig. 3 shows the situation where perlite was laid inside the vase as a wall for shading and heat insulation, and in the case of a transparent glass vase, to prevent the internal soil from being seen directly from the outside and to improve the appearance. It is a thing.

  In order to prevent green algae from being generated inside the vase due to sunlight, and impairing the appearance of the vase, FIG. 4 shows the perlite for shading and heat insulation shown in FIG. It is something to isolate.

Claims (4)

When planting rooted plants such as roses, pansies, and cyclamen in a vase with no holes on the bottom or sides, one piece is used to pump out and drain the excess water accumulated in the vase. The tube is placed from the outside of the top of the vase to the inside of the vase and to the bottom of the vase.
At the tip of the bottom of the tube, attach a fine mesh filter to prevent pumping anything other than water.
Use an appropriately sized syringe to force the excess water that has accumulated in the vessel to be efficiently sucked out with a strong force and to keep the inside of the vessel at an appropriate level of moisture.
Also, using the same tube and syringe installed, fresh external air is injected from the bottom of the device as needed to eliminate the lack of oxygen in the device.
In the case of a large vessel used for planting and growing rose trees and appreciating flowers, use a drainage tube and use an electric small air pump to bring fresh air into the vessel. Send in. When planting plants that do not like water or liquid fertilizer directly on the leaves or bulbs, such as cyclamen, a water injection tube is installed so that water or liquid fertilizer can be applied directly to the roots. When water or liquid fertilizer is used from the tube, use a syringe prepared for drainage.
In addition, when the vase is tall and it is difficult to inject air only from the bottom of the vase, air is injected using this tube. It is very good for the growth of plants to place a flower vase with a plant in a window where sunlight shines, but in the case of a transparent glass vase or a light glass vase, sunlight is directly rooted. Hit the roots and hurt the roots. To prevent this, pearlite is laid inside the vase to create a wall that blocks sunlight.
This perlite reduces heat conduction in the vase heated by sunlight. If this pearlite for thermal insulation is brought into direct contact with the soil inside, the pearlite becomes damp, and the green algae are generated by sunlight and the appearance is impaired.
To prevent this, a waterproof partition is provided between the moist soil and dry pearlite.
