Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bamboo cultivation, and particularly relates to a device for controlling root direction and cultivating indoor ornamental clumping bamboo. Background Art

[0002] Bamboo is a characteristic plant resource widely distributed in the south of China. With the improvement of the economic development level and the fact that many bamboo species need to survive the winter, people gradually introduce bamboo species suitable for potted plants into the indoor. Since the root and rhizome system of bamboo is extremely developed, especially most of the varieties used for potted plants are mainly clumping bamboo, it is easy to have root knots after ordinary indoor potting, and it is not easy to control water utilization, which is not conducive to growth and management; regularly manually cutting the roots growing out of the pot easily causes damage to the bamboo.

[0003] According to the utility model patent of a root control container for cultivating scattered bamboo with the publication number CN207927327U, it includes a support bottom plate and a cylindrical surrounding wall. One end of the cylindrical surrounding wall is provided with an annular insertion plate, and the support bottom plate is provided with an annular card slot that fits the annular insertion plate. The cylindrical surrounding wall is connected to the support bottom plate through the clamping action of the annular card slot on the annular insertion plate. A blind cavity with an opening towards the other end of the surrounding wall is arranged inside the cylindrical surrounding wall. The inner side wall of the blind cavity is evenly provided with protrusions, and the protrusions are provided with air holes communicating with the inside of the cylindrical surrounding wall. The support bottom plate is provided with a first water seepage hole. The utility model can prevent the damage of the external protrusion part and the blockage of the air holes, so that the roots of the scattered bamboo can fully contact the air at the position of the air holes when growing outwards and downwards, and the root tips stop growing; by controlling the growth of the roots layer by layer, while avoiding root knots, the roots grow more densely, and the later transplantation survival rate of the scattered bamboo is higher.

[0004] Although the above technical solution can control the growth of the roots of planted bamboo, it needs to be realized by filling soil layer by layer, and it also needs to cooperate with cylindrical surrounding walls of different diameters to achieve it. It also needs to be watered manually frequently to play a role in controlling the growth of the roots, and the operation is relatively troublesome and has certain limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for controlling root direction and cultivating indoor ornamental clumping bamboo, which can avoid the occurrence of root knots when cultivating indoor clumping bamboo, has a simple operation, and can realize the directional growth of roots without the need for frequent manual watering during cultivation.

[0006] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] An indoor ornamental clumping bamboo root control and directional cultivation device, including a fixed cylinder with an open upper end. A plurality of ventilation grooves are inwardly opened at the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the fixed cylinder, and are evenly distributed at equal intervals. A partition is arranged at a position near the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed cylinder and is hermetically connected thereto. A water storage cavity is formed between the lower end of the partition and the bottom of the fixed cylinder. A plurality of through holes are inwardly opened at the edge of the upper end of the outer wall of the partition and are evenly distributed at equal intervals. A planting cylinder is detachably connected above the partition in the fixed cylinder. A limiting ring that cooperates with the fixed cylinder is arranged at the upper end of the outer wall of the planting cylinder. A plurality of air holes are inwardly opened on the outer wall of the planting cylinder and are arranged in an array. A gap is left between the outer wall of the planting cylinder and the inner wall of the fixed cylinder. A plurality of limiting blocks are arranged at the upper end of the inner wall of the fixed cylinder and are evenly distributed and all contact the outer wall of the planting cylinder. A plurality of water-absorbing cotton ropes that extend out of the upper end of its outer wall and all extend into the planting cylinder are arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the water storage cavity.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, first place the water-absorbing cotton ropes at appropriate positions and lengths in the planting cylinder, then put an appropriate amount of substrate soil in the planting cylinder according to the growth state of the roots of the clumping bamboo, and make the water-absorbing cotton ropes in a vertical state. Then transplant the clumping bamboo into the planting cylinder. Then, an appropriate amount of water can be added to the water storage cavity through the through holes in the partition. The water in the water storage cavity will be transported to the substrate soil through the water-absorbing cotton ropes to maintain the stability of the water content in the substrate soil. Since the roots of bamboo have a tendency to grow towards water, their roots will extend towards the moist area of the soil. When the clumping bamboo grows, when its roots grow to the position of the air holes in the planting cylinder, they will contact the air, thus restricting the outward growth of the roots of the clumping bamboo. Then the root tip meristem of the clumping bamboo will accelerate cell division on the side with a high water concentration, resulting in the roots bending and growing towards the water source, so as to achieve the effect of controlling the directional growth of the roots. During the process of cultivating the clumping bamboo, the substrate soil falling from the lower end of the planting cylinder will fall on the partition, preventing the substrate soil from directly falling into the water storage cavity.

[0009] The further setting of the present invention is that the ventilation grooves at the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the fixed cylinder are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the circulating flow rate and area of the outside air entering the fixed cylinder can be increased.

[0011] The further setting of the present invention is that a retaining wall is arranged at a position near the inner edge of the through hole at the upper end of the partition.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the substrate soil falling from the lower end of the planting cylinder can be collected, preventing the substrate soil on the partition from falling into the water storage cavity through the through holes.

[0013] The further setting of the present invention is as follows: The planting cylinder includes a cylinder body with openings at both upper and lower ends, a plurality of chutes opened along the height direction of the inner wall of the cylinder body and distributed at equal intervals, a number of fixing grooves arranged along the height direction of the inner wall of the cylinder body and all communicating with the chutes, a bottom plate slidably and rotatably connected within the cylinder body, a number of water seepage holes penetrating through the upper end of the bottom plate, and a plurality of support blocks respectively arranged on the outer wall of the bottom plate and corresponding to the chutes one by one.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, not only can sympodial bamboos be cultivated to avoid the phenomenon of their roots growing randomly and forming root knots, but also the growth length and planting depth of the roots can be flexibly adjusted according to the growth state of sympodial bamboos, facilitating the growth of sympodial bamboos.

[0015] The further setting of the present invention is as follows: A plurality of fixing holes are opened downward at the upper end of the bottom plate, each fixing hole is detachably connected with a cooperating root guiding rod, and a spiral guiding groove is inwardly opened along the length direction on the outer wall of each root guiding rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, it can play a role in guiding the directional growth of the roots during the cultivation of sympodial bamboos.

[0017] The further setting of the present invention is as follows: The root guiding rod is made of clay.

[0018] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] Firstly, the present invention can avoid the occurrence of root knot situations during the cultivation of indoor sympodial bamboos, and the operation is simple. During cultivation, it is not necessary to frequently water them manually to achieve the control of the directional growth of the roots;

[0020] Secondly, the planting cylinder of the present invention can not only restrict the outward growth of the roots of sympodial bamboos during cultivation, but also flexibly adjust the planting depth according to the actual growth situation of sympodial bamboos, facilitating the normal growth of their roots;

[0021] Thirdly, the root guiding rod of the present invention can play a role in guiding the directional growth of the roots during the cultivation of sympodial bamboos, and also has the function of water conduction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] Example, refer to Figures 1-3 , an indoor ornamental clustered bamboo root control and directional cultivation device, including a fixed cylinder 1 with an open upper end. A plurality of ventilation grooves 11 are opened inward at the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 1 and are arranged at equal intervals. The ventilation grooves 11 at the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 1 are arranged in a staggered manner. A partition board 12 is arranged at a position close to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 1 and is hermetically connected thereto. A water storage cavity 13 is formed between the lower end of the partition board 12 and the bottom of the fixed cylinder 1. A plurality of through holes 14 are opened inward at the edge of the upper end of the outer wall of the partition board 12 and are arranged at equal intervals. A ring-shaped enclosure 15 is arranged at a position close to the inner edge of the through hole 14 at the upper end of the partition board 12. A planting cylinder 16 is detachably connected above the partition board 12 in the fixed cylinder 1. The planting cylinder 16 includes a cylinder body 17 with both upper and lower ends open, a plurality of slide grooves 18 opened along the height direction of the inner wall of the cylinder body 17 and arranged at equal intervals, a plurality of fixed grooves 19 arranged along the height direction of the inner wall of the cylinder body 17 and all communicated with the slide grooves 18, a bottom plate 2 that is slidably and rotatably connected in the cylinder body 17, a plurality of water seepage holes 21 penetrating through the upper end of the bottom plate 2, and a plurality of support blocks 22 respectively arranged on the outer wall of the bottom plate 2 and corresponding to the slide grooves 18 one by one.

[0029] A plurality of fixing holes 23 are opened downward at the upper end of the bottom plate 2. Each fixing hole 23 is detachably connected with a guiding root rod 24 which is made of clay and matches with it. An inwardly spiral guiding groove 25 is formed in the outer wall of each guiding root rod 24 along its length direction. A limiting ring 27 which matches with the upper end of the outer wall of the fixing cylinder 1 is arranged at the upper end of the outer wall of the planting cylinder 16. A plurality of air-permeable holes 26 distributed in an array are formed in the outer wall of the planting cylinder 16 in an inward direction. A gap is left between the outer wall of the planting cylinder 16 and the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 1. Four equally spaced limiting blocks 28 which are all in contact with the outer wall of the planting cylinder 16 are arranged at the upper end of the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 1. The planting cylinder 16 can maintain the stability of the gap between it and the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 1 through the limiting blocks 28. A plurality of absorbent cotton ropes 29 which extend out of the upper end of its outer wall and all extend into the planting cylinder 16 through the water seepage holes 21 are arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the water storage cavity 13.

[0030] Usage method: When in use, first pass the absorbent cotton rope 29 through the water seepage hole 21 on the bottom plate 2 and pull out a certain length. Then, adjust the distance between the bottom plate 2 and the upper end opening of the cylinder body 17 according to the growth state of the clump bamboo to be cultivated. First, let the supporting block 22 be located in each sliding groove 18, then move the bottom plate 2 upward to an appropriate position height of the cylinder body 17, and then rotate the bottom plate 2 to make the supporting block 22 be located in the fixing groove 19 at the corresponding position height, so as to achieve the effect of adjusting the depth of the planting cylinder 16. Then insert the guiding root rod 24 into the fixing hole 23. Then, put an appropriate amount of matrix soil into the planting cylinder 16 according to the growth state of the roots of the clump bamboo, and make the absorbent cotton rope 29 in a vertical state. Then transplant the clump bamboo into the planting cylinder 16, cover the matrix soil again. Then add an appropriate amount of water into the water storage cavity 13 through the through hole 14 on the partition plate 12. The water in the water storage cavity 13 will be transported to the matrix soil through the absorbent cotton rope 29 to keep the water content in the matrix soil stable.

[0031] Since the guiding root rod 24 is made of clay, according to the water-absorbing property of the clay itself, it can absorb the moisture in the surrounding soil, and the moisture in the surrounding soil can continue to be transported upward through the absorbent cotton rope 29 to maintain the moisture content of the matrix soil. Since the roots of bamboo have a tendency to grow towards water, its roots will extend towards the moist area of the soil. When the clump bamboo is growing, the air on the outer wall of the fixing cylinder 1 will enter its interior through the ventilation groove 11, and the air will circulate in the gap between the planting cylinder 16 and the fixing cylinder 1. At the same time, the limiting block 28 can ensure that the gap between the two is of the same size. The limiting ring 27 can not only facilitate the staff to take out the planting cylinder 16 from the fixing cylinder 1, but also prevent the lower end of the planting cylinder 16 from directly contacting the partition plate 12.

[0032] When the root system of the clumping bamboo grows to the position of the air holes 26 of the planting cylinder 16, it will come into contact with the air, and the outward growth of the root system of the clumping bamboo is restricted through air cutting. Then, the root tip meristem of the clumping bamboo will accelerate cell division on the side with a high water concentration, resulting in the bending of the root system and its growth towards the water source. When the root system of the clumping bamboo comes into contact with the root guiding rod 24, its root system will grow downward along the guiding groove 25 on the root guiding rod 24, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the directional growth of the root system. During the cultivation of the clumping bamboo, the substrate soil falling from the lower end of the planting cylinder 16 will land on the partition plate 12 and be blocked by the enclosure 15 to prevent the substrate soil from directly falling into the water storage cavity 13. The through hole 14 can not only add water to the water storage cavity 13 but also allow external air to enter the water storage cavity 13 to avoid oxygen deficiency in the water body.

[0033] This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present invention, and it is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications with creative contributions to this embodiment as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention, it is protected by the patent law.
