Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plant cultivation method capable of cultivating plant seeds, seedlings, sprouts and the like, and a plant cultivation tool used therefor, which is particularly suitable for flower cultivation. Yes, the cultivated flowers with roots are shipped together with the plant-cultivating tools so that they can be placed and placed as they are.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when various kinds of flowers such as roses and chrysanthemums are shipped, the flowers are cut from the roots and packed in boxes. In this case, fully opened flowers have poor shelf life and are cut and cut before being shipped.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When flowers are cut from the roots and shipped, the water is insufficient and the flowers become weak, and the shelf life is poor.
The buds and half-open flowers sometimes died without further opening. For this reason, flower producers have to pay particular attention to the timing of shipment, and it is difficult for flower retailers to manage flowers so that they will last for a long time. There were some drawbacks, such as the flowers not opening completely and keeping them for a long time.

The object of the present invention is to easily grow a plant by using the plant-cultivating tool, to ship the plant-cultivating tool with the root attached to the plant, and to support the fresh flowers together with the plant-cultivating tool. You can put it in a tool (usually a foamed resin called Oasis) to live it, or put it in a vase together with the plant cultivation tool, so that the plant will grow even after shipping and flower buds and half-open flowers will bloom. Another object of the present invention is to provide a plant cultivation method and a plant cultivation tool used therefor.
