Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention relates to the field of flowerpot cultivation and planting, and in particular to a method for improving the drainage of a flowerpot by installing a capillary drainage device on the flowerpot under the action of capillary water absorption. Technical background:

[0002] Soak a flowerpot filled with soil in water and place it on the ground. Water will flow out from the drainage holes of the flowerpot. When the drainage holes stop dripping, pour out the soil in the flowerpot. If you pinch the soil with your hands, you will find that there is still a lot of water in the soil. It is because of this accumulated water that the roots of the flowers and plants planted in the flowerpots lack oxygen, grow poorly, or even die. After the flowerpot is watered thoroughly, only part of the water in the flowerpot can be drained, and some water accumulates in the soil at the bottom of the flowerpot and cannot be discharged from the drainage holes of the flowerpot. At this time, the soil is like a sponge full of water. Due to the surface tension of water, there is a lot of water in the gaps in the soil. Removing this part of water as much as possible can improve the quality and survival rate of flowers and plants planted in pots. Summary of the invention:

[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for improving the drainage of a flower pot by installing a capillary drainage device on the flower pot under the action of capillary water absorption, thereby improving the water permeability and air permeability of the flower pot.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] When two towels of the same size are folded, one is placed in a flowerpot, and the other is unfolded and hung on a hanger, they are soaked in a pool of water at the same time, and the towels are taken out separately after they are soaked. The flowerpot with towels is placed on a horizontal ground, and the hanger with towels is hung on a windless clothesline indoors. The water in the towel in the flowerpot flows out from the drainage hole of the flowerpot, and the water in the towel on the hanger also drips naturally with gravity. After 1 hour, the water content of the two towels is compared. The water content of the towel hung on the hanger is much less. The main reason is that the drainage of the towel is related to the vertical drop of the entire towel when it is placed. The greater the vertical drop between the lowest horizontal point and the highest horizontal point after the towel is placed, the drier the towel is drained, and most of the water is enriched at the lowest end of the towel. The present invention uses this technical route to install a capillary drainage device on the flowerpot. The drainage device is made of materials with capillary water absorption, such as cotton thread, cloth strip, paper tape, fiber rod, hemp rope, etc., so that the capillary drainage device is in contact with the soil in the flowerpot. When the flowerpot needs to drain water, the space and distance from the soil in the flowerpot to the ground are increased by extending the flowerpot supporting feet, installing supports on the flowerpot, and suspending the flowerpot in the air. The lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device is installed through this space, and the length of the lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device is extended by the space and height between the soil at the bottom of the flowerpot and the ground to generate a gravity drop. Under the action of capillary absorption and gravity drop, the soil contact end of the capillary drainage device and the lowest horizontal end of the drainage device absorb water in the soil from the soil contact end of the capillary drainage device to the lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device. The water is enriched at the lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device and then drips out.

Specific implementation method:

[0009] See also Figure 1 Figure 2The method of the present invention is a method for improving the drainage of a flower pot through capillary water absorption, comprising a flower pot (1), a capillary drainage device (2), a soil contact end of the capillary drainage device (3), a flower pot support foot (4), a lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device (5), a drainage hole (6) in the flower pot, soil (7), a horizontal height (8) from the lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device to the soil, a method of extending the flower pot support foot (9), a method of suspending the flower pot in the air (10), and a method of installing a support for the flower pot (11); installing a capillary drainage device (2) on the flower pot (1), the capillary drainage device being made of a material having capillary water absorption such as cotton thread, cloth strip, paper tape, fiber stick, hemp rope, etc., the capillary drainage device being divided into a soil contact end of the capillary drainage device (3) and a lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device (5), the soil contact end of the capillary drainage device being in contact with the soil (7) in the flower pot, the lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device passing through the drainage hole (6) in the flower pot, and the lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device passing through the drainage hole (6) in the flower pot. The end of the capillary drainage device is located below the soil of the flower pot. The space and distance between the soil at the bottom of the flower pot and the ground are increased by extending the flower pot support feet (4) (9), suspending the flower pot in the air (10), and installing a support (10) on the flower pot. The lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device is installed through this space. The vertical height (8) from the lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device to the soil is increased through the space and height from the soil at the bottom of the flower pot to the ground to generate a gravity drop. Under the action of capillary water absorption and gravity drop, the accumulated water in the soil is sucked from the soil contact end of the capillary drainage device to the lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device. The water is enriched at the lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device and then drips out. The higher the vertical height from the lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device to the soil, the better the drainage effect. When the vertical height from the lowest horizontal end of the capillary drainage device to the soil is greater than 6 cm, it is practical, the drainage and air permeability of the flower pot are increased, the root suffocation and root rot phenomenon after the flower pot is watered is reduced, and the quality of flower plants planted in the flower pot is improved.
