Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of plant cuttings, in particular to a plant cutting method and a planting box for cuttings. Background Art

[0002] When plants are propagated, it is usually necessary to maintain soil moisture and environmental temperature, and the soil around the cuttings needs to be loosened and aerated during the cultivation process. Usually, there are a large number of cuttings and a large planting area during propagation. Loosening the soil and aerating the cuttings one by one is a huge workload. In order to solve the above problems, a method or device is needed to facilitate loosening and aerating the cuttings after propagation. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a plant cutting method and a planting box for cutting to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A plant cutting method comprises the following steps: S1. Cut the branches of the plants to be cut into 5-15 cm lengths, leaving 1-3 leaves after pruning; S2. Soak the pruned branches in tap water for 5-10 minutes. After soaking, apply a rooting agent to the bottom of the branches. S3. Insert the branches into the planting box filled with soil, gently compact the soil and cover it with the top cover to keep the branches in a constant temperature and humidity and relatively sealed state.

[0005] In a further embodiment, the bottom of the branch in S1 is cut into a V-shape or a bevel shape.

[0006] In a further embodiment, the depth of the branch inserted into the soil is 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the entire branch length.

[0007] In a further embodiment, multiple planting boxes in S3 can be placed in an up-and-down stack.

[0008] In another specific embodiment, a planting box for cuttings includes a pot bottom and a top cover, wherein a hollow block 1 is disposed at the bottom of the pot bottom, a top cover is snap-connected above the pot bottom, and a hollow block 2 is disposed on the top of the top cover.

[0009] In a further embodiment, four hollow blocks 1 and four hollow blocks 2 are respectively provided and their positions correspond to each other. The hollow block 1 and the hollow block 2 are matched and connected to each other, generally by a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the basin bottom and hollow block 1 are an integrated structure, the top cover and hollow block 2 are an integrated structure, and a ventilation hole is provided on the top of the top cover.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the taper of the second hollow block is smaller than the taper of the first hollow block.

[0012] In a further embodiment, a first hole is formed on the top of the second hollow block, and a second hole is formed on a side wall of the hollow block. Beneficial Effects

[0013] In the present invention, each cut branch is inserted into each individual square of the planting box in turn, and the planting boxes are stacked vertically up and down, and the soil and air in the upper and lower adjacent squares are connected to each other through hollow block 1 and hollow block 2. The planting box can be squeezed to make the hollow block 1 and the hollow block 2 squeeze and deform each other, thereby completing the steps of loosening the soil and allowing the soil to ventilate, and the effect of loosening the soil in batches for the cuttings can be achieved.

[0014] And because of the different tapers of hollow block 1 and hollow block 2, the two do not fit completely tightly during extrusion, but leave a space at one end to provide a necessary channel for gas to pass through.

[0015] Secondly, the first hole is opened at the top and the second hole is opened at the side wall. When watering from top to bottom, the liquid can be prevented from directly passing through the first hole and the second hole. The different opening positions ensure the water content of each layer of soil at the bottom of the pot. When the water level at the bottom of the pot reaches a certain reserved height, it will flow out and enter the planting box below through the first hole. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figure 1-4 In an embodiment of the present invention, a plant cutting method comprises the following steps: S1. Select plant branches and cut them into 5-15 cm lengths, leaving 1-3 leaves after pruning; S2. Soak the pruned branches in tap water for 5-10 minutes. After soaking, apply a rooting agent to the bottom of the branches. S3. Insert the branches into the planting box filled with soil. The depth of the soil should be 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the entire length of the branch. Gently compact the soil and cover it with the top cover. Keep the branches in a constant temperature and humidity and relatively sealed state. Ensure that the cuttings are in close contact with the substrate. Multiple planting boxes can be stacked vertically up and down.

[0023] The present invention also provides a planting box for cuttings, comprising a pot bottom 1 and a top cover 3, wherein a hollow block 2 is arranged at the bottom of the pot bottom 1, the top cover 3 is snap-connected above the pot bottom 1, and a hollow block 4 is arranged at the top of the top cover 3.

[0024] It should be noted that the snap-fit ​​connection between the top cover and the bottom of the pan can reduce the rate of temperature and humidity loss to a certain extent, so it is called a relatively sealed environment.

[0025] The hollow blocks 2 4 and the hollow blocks 1 2 are respectively provided in four and their positions correspond to each other. The hollow blocks 2 4 and the hollow blocks 1 2 are connected to each other in cooperation. Both the hollow blocks 2 4 and the hollow blocks 1 2 are hollow structures, which are convenient for stacking. At the same time, the corresponding splicing of the two can improve the stability when stacked.

[0026] The pot bottom 1 and the hollow block 1 2 are an integrated structure, the top cover 3 and the hollow block 2 4 are an integrated structure, and the top of the top cover 3 is provided with an air hole 7, and the planting box can be prepared by injection molding using polytetrafluoroethylene or polycarbonate. The air hole 7 is set at the top of the top cover 3 to keep the planting box exchanging air with the outside world. Although the upper layer of planting boxes is located above the air hole 7, the gap between the two layers of planting boxes ensures that each layer of planting boxes can exchange air with the outside world through the air hole 7, and being set at the top can avoid hypothermia due to excessive gas exchange.

[0027] The taper of the hollow block 2 4 is smaller than that of the hollow block 1 2 . The difference in taper between the hollow block 2 4 and the hollow block 1 2 allows the two to be squeezed against each other, and keeps the hollow block 2 4 and the hollow block 1 2 from being completely tightly fitted, leaving a certain space for air circulation.

[0028] The top of the hollow block 2 4 is provided with a first hole 5 , and the side wall of the hollow block 1 2 is provided with a second hole 6 . The different positions of the first hole 5 and the second hole 6 can maintain the moisture of each layer of the basin bottom 1 .

[0029] The use process of the planting box of the present invention: When in use, the bottom 1 of the pot is filled with soil and branches are inserted. The top cover 3 mainly plays a relative sealing effect, which can reduce the speed of water vapor and temperature diffusion outward, so that the temperature and humidity in the planting box remain relatively constant.

[0030] In order to facilitate the ventilation of the soil, the following method can be adopted in the present invention. First, multiple planting boxes are stacked vertically up and down and placed together. When stacking, the hollow block 2 4 and the hollow block 1 2 need to correspond to and cooperate with each other. The hollow block 2 4 and the hollow block 1 2 are respectively provided with four, which can completely correspond and dock. After stacking upwards in sequence, multiple layers of planting boxes with branches can be stacked; When the soil needs to be breathed, press down from the top of the stacked planting boxes, so that the upper and lower adjacent planting boxes will squeeze each other, the distance between them will continue to shrink, and the matching hollow block 2 4 and hollow block 1 2 will squeeze each other, and the tapers of the two are different. Hollow block 2 4 will squeeze hollow block 1 2 in reverse, causing hollow block 1 2 to expand laterally, thereby producing a squeezing and pushing effect on the soil, and the squeezing is only temporary and short-lived. Through repeated squeezing, the soil at the bottom of all the planting boxes can be quickly loosened.

[0031] The bottom 1, the hollow block 1 2, the top cover 3 and the hollow block 2 4 of the pot are all made of transparent materials, which is convenient for observing the loose soil and rooting status.

[0032] This planting box can be used for cutting cultivation of different types of plants such as blueberries, roses, hollies, etc.

[0033] At the same time, in the present invention, holes are also opened on the top of the hollow block 2 4 and the side wall of the hollow block 1 2, so that the gas in the lower top cover 3 and the gas in the soil of the upper pot bottom 1 can be connected to each other, and air extrusion can also be formed during squeezing, so that the gases in the upper and lower planting boxes can be exchanged with each other, while maintaining relatively constant temperature and humidity for all the overall equipment, it can also achieve the effect of ventilating the soil.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention.
