Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a planting method for potted plants, and in particular to a planting method for potted plants which can conveniently avoid root balls. Background Art

[0002] When planting potted crops, the size of the flowerpot has an important impact on the growth of the crops. If you choose a flowerpot that is too large, it will increase the workload. If the watering is not thorough enough, the substrate at the edge of the flowerpot may be wet, while the soil in the middle of the flowerpot is still dry; when the root system of the plant is not well developed, it cannot absorb enough water and nutrients, and the plant grows poorly. If you choose a small flowerpot, as the plant grows, the space in the flowerpot is limited, and the root system will gradually fill the flowerpot. At this time, the roots may be entangled in the limited space and easily form a ball, and it is difficult to avoid the formation of the so-called "root ball". "Root ball" may prevent the roots from effectively absorbing water and nutrients, which in turn affects the growth of the plant. In addition, "root ball" may also lead to poor drainage of the substrate and increase the risk of root diseases.

[0003] At present, the commonly used solution procedures for dealing with the "root ball" problem are: 1. Repotting, first remove the plant from the small pot (also called "lifting"), and then move it to a larger pot to provide more growth space; 2. Prune the roots, properly prune the roots that are too long or too dense to promote the growth of new roots; 3. Improve the substrate, use well-drained, organic-rich soil to help the healthy growth of the root system; 4. Regular inspections, regularly check the root condition of the plant, discover problems in time and take corresponding measures.

[0004] Therefore, the first step to solve the root ball problem of potted crops is to change the pot. The method of changing the pot is generally to cut off the water in advance, so that it is convenient to remove the pot ("seedling"); when removing the pot, first knock on the four walls of the flower pot, and then turn the plant upside down. Changing the soil, checking the root system, and pruning the root system are done after removing the pot.

[0005] This method of repotting and changing soil has disadvantages: the process of removing the seedlings from the pot ("lifting the seedlings") will pull the root system of the entire plant, damaging the capillary roots. Repeated damage to the root system of the potted plant will cause growth retardation.

[0006] If the formation of "root balls" can be easily avoided without removing the pot, the defects of the prior art can be overcome. Summary of the invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for planting potted plants which can conveniently avoid root balls, and can conveniently avoid "root balls" without removing the pots to overcome the defect of the prior art that the roots of potted plants are damaged.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a potted plant planting method that can conveniently avoid root balls, comprising the following steps: a. Insert the lower cavity of the flowerpot and the base cover of the flowerpot into each other and buckle them together, and place a porous non-woven matrix bag containing the desired matrix in the lower cavity of the flowerpot; b. Insert the upper cavity of the flower pot and snap it onto the lower cavity of the flower pot, and place the desired substrate in the upper cavity; c. Planting crops on the substrate in the upper cavity; d. Open the base cover of the flowerpot and observe the porous non-woven substrate bag at the bottom of the pot. When the roots of the potted plants grow downward and penetrate into the porous non-woven substrate bag in the lower cavity and are about to extend out of the substrate bag, add another lower cavity under the lower cavity and place a porous non-woven substrate bag, which is then fastened to the base cover; repeat the cycle until the number and size of the fruits of the potted plants reach the purpose of being ornamental or edible.

[0009] When the potted crops reach the planting effect and the growth of excess roots needs to be controlled, the porous non-woven fabric substrate bag in the lowest lower cavity is cut off and a new porous non-woven fabric substrate bag is placed on it for replacement. The excess roots are eliminated by repeatedly cutting off and adding the last porous non-woven fabric substrate bag.

[0010] The flowerpot used in the method of the present invention is a detachable flowerpot, comprising an upper cavity, a lower cavity and a base cover; a connecting hole is provided at the bottom of the upper cavity; a connecting column corresponding to the connecting hole at the bottom of the upper cavity is provided at the top of the lower cavity, and a connecting hole is provided at the bottom; a connecting column corresponding to the connecting hole at the bottom of the lower cavity is provided on the base cover, and a drainage hole is also provided; the cavity of the upper cavity is used to place potted plants and substrates; the cavity of the lower cavity is used to place a porous non-woven fabric substrate bag containing a required substrate of a certain thickness.

[0011] The flowerpot is provided with 2-5 lower cavities.

[0012] There are multiple convex points on the inner wall of the lower cavity to increase the friction between the porous non-woven fabric matrix bag and the inner wall of the lower cavity. When the flower pot base cover is opened for observation, the porous non-woven fabric matrix bag is stuck in the lower cavity of the flower pot and will not fall down easily.

[0013] The depth of the lower cavity is sufficient to accommodate the thickness of one porous non-woven fabric substrate bag, and the depth of the lower cavity of each flower pot is the same as the thickness of the porous non-woven fabric substrate bag.

[0014] The thickness of the porous non-woven fabric substrate bag is 5 cm each; the hole diameter of the porous non-woven fabric substrate bag is 2 cm, and the distance between adjacent holes is 5 cm.

[0015] The flowerpot is made of plastic.

[0016] The inner wall of the upper cavity is provided with a plurality of convex points to increase the friction between the matrix and the inner wall of the upper cavity.

[0017] A drain pan is also provided at the lower part of the base.

[0018] By adopting the method of the present invention, the roots of potted plants will naturally grow downward in the matrix of the upper cavity and penetrate into the porous non-woven matrix bag of the lower cavity. The roots will firmly hold the porous non-woven matrix bag and continue to grow downward. No "root ball" phenomenon will occur, and root balls can be easily avoided.

[0019] By adopting the method of the present invention, the base cover of the flower pot is opened, and it can be observed whether the root hairs on the surface of the bottommost porous non-woven fabric matrix bag are normal, and it can also be judged whether the root system has the possibility of continuing to grow downward after penetrating into the porous non-woven fabric matrix bag. The root system of the potted crops can be observed at the bottom of the pot without removing the pot, which can reduce the damage to the root system.

[0020] By adopting the method of the present invention, the thickness of the substrate required for potted plants can be determined, thereby determining the space of the flowerpot. After potted planting is completed, the thickness of the original substrate of the flowerpot and the number and thickness of the porous non-woven fabric substrate bags at the base of the flowerpot can be observed and counted to determine the thickness of the substrate required for the potted plant of the diameter and the space of the flowerpot accordingly, providing a basis for the required flowerpot volume of the potted plant. In large-scale planting, the flowerpots required for different potted plants can be determined, thereby improving work efficiency and planting quality.

[0021] By adopting the method of the present invention, when potted crops reach the planting effect, we need to retain the current plant root system capacity and trim the excess roots without removing the pot, so as to control the growth of the excess roots. Open the base cover of the flowerpot and observe. If the roots penetrate into the last porous non-woven fabric substrate bag, cut off the last porous non-woven fabric substrate bag, and then put a new porous non-woven fabric substrate bag for replacement. By repeatedly cutting off and adding the bottom porous non-woven fabric substrate bag to eliminate the excess roots, the excess roots can be trimmed conveniently without removing the pot to control the formation of the "root ball".

[0022] By adopting the method of the present invention, solid fertilizers in the form of particles or powders of different components can be added to the porous non-woven fabric substrate bag, and the porous non-woven fabric substrate bag is placed at the bottom of the flower pot. The technical method has a wide and uniform distribution of fertilizers at the bottom layer, and solid fertilizers meet the nutrient needs of flowers for a long time by slowly releasing nutrients, adapting to the law of plant growth, and utilizing the fertilizer orientation of the root system to guide the roots of potted plants to grow evenly distributed in non-woven fabric substrate bags at different levels. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the flower pot structure of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The method of the present invention is described in detail below.

[0025] A method for using a potted plant pot that can conveniently avoid root balls includes the following steps: a. Insert the lower cavity of the flowerpot and the base cover of the flowerpot into each other and buckle them together, and place a porous non-woven matrix bag containing the desired matrix in the lower cavity of the flowerpot; b. Insert the upper cavity of the flower pot and snap it onto the lower cavity of the flower pot, and place the desired substrate in the upper cavity; c. Planting crops on the substrate in the upper cavity; d. Open the base cover of the flowerpot and observe the porous non-woven substrate bag at the bottom of the pot. When the roots of the potted plants grow downward and penetrate into the porous non-woven substrate bag in the lower cavity and are about to extend out of the substrate bag, add another lower cavity under the lower cavity and place a porous non-woven substrate bag, which is then fastened to the base cover; repeat the cycle until the number and size of the fruits of the potted plants reach the purpose of being ornamental or edible.

[0026] When the potted crops reach the planting effect and the growth of excess roots needs to be controlled, the porous non-woven fabric substrate bag in the lowest lower cavity is cut off and a new porous non-woven fabric substrate bag is placed on it for replacement. The excess roots are eliminated by repeatedly cutting off and adding the last porous non-woven fabric substrate bag.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the potted plant flowerpot of the present invention, which can conveniently avoid root balls, comprises an upper cavity 1, a lower cavity 2 and a base cover 3. According to different shape requirements of the flowerpot, the base cover of the flowerpot can be round or other commonly used shapes.

[0028] A connecting hole is arranged at the bottom of the upper cavity. The hollow space of the upper cavity is used for placing potted plants and substrates.

[0029] The top of the lower cavity is provided with a connecting column corresponding to the connecting hole at the bottom of the upper cavity, and the bottom is provided with a connecting hole. The cavity of the lower cavity is used to place a porous non-woven fabric matrix bag 4 containing a certain thickness of the required matrix. 2-5 lower cavities can be set.

[0030] A connecting column corresponding to the connecting hole at the bottom of the lower cavity is arranged on the base cover, and a drainage hole is also arranged.

[0031] There are multiple convex points on the inner wall of the lower cavity to increase the friction between the porous non-woven fabric matrix bag and the inner wall of the lower cavity. When the flower pot base cover is opened for observation, the porous non-woven fabric matrix bag is stuck in the lower cavity of the flower pot and will not fall down easily.

[0032] The depth of the lower cavity is enough to accommodate the thickness of one porous non-woven fabric substrate bag, and the depth of the lower cavity of each flower pot is the same as the thickness of the porous non-woven fabric substrate bag. The thickness of each porous non-woven fabric substrate bag is 5 cm. The aperture of the porous non-woven fabric substrate bag is 2 cm, and the distance between adjacent holes is 5 cm.

[0033] Preferably, the flower pot is made of plastic.

[0034] The inner wall of the upper cavity may also have a plurality of protrusions to increase the friction between the substrate and the inner wall of the upper cavity, making it easier to fix the substrate and the plant in the upper cavity.

[0035] A drain pan may also be provided at the lower portion of the base. Example

[0036] A potted eggplant trial was conducted using a split pot in 2024. Eggplant variety for the potted trial: Nuohongqie No. 1.

[0037] Control group: Eggplant is an annual herb with a well-developed root system. The root system of mature plants is more than 1.5 meters deep and the horizontal diameter of the root system exceeds 1 meter. The root system of eggplant cultivated in protected areas is mainly distributed in the 0-30 cm tillage layer. Use a conventional flower pot with a diameter of 25 cm and a depth of 15 cm to observe the potted planting of "Nuohongqie No. 1". Under normal management, after 2 months of planting, it was found that the tree vigor of the potted eggplant began to weaken at the four-mother bucket fruiting node, the leaves were small and thin, the leaves were yellow-green, the branches and stems were thin, the top flower buds grew slowly, the flowers were small, and the flowers fell easily. The fruits after fruiting were small and did not expand, and the ornamental value of the potted eggplant was poor. It was found that the potted eggplant had limited space in the flower pot, and the roots grew downward in a dense and curved manner. The root system of the potted eggplant formed a "root ball", the roots were entangled, and the capillary roots were too dense and thin, and short.

[0038] The test results of the control group: Due to the limited space in the flowerpot, the root system of the potted eggplant grew poorly and formed a "root ball", resulting in poor ornamental value and poor fruit quality of the potted eggplant "Nuohongqie No. 1".

[0039] Test group: Planting variety "Nuohongqie No. 1" is planted in the detachable flowerpot of the present invention. The diameter of the flowerpot is 25 cm, the matrix of the upper cavity of the flowerpot is 15 cm deep, and a porous non-woven fabric matrix bag is placed in the lower cavity of the flowerpot first, and the upper cavity of the flowerpot, a lower cavity of the flowerpot and the base cover of the flowerpot are buckled. During the planting process, starting from the eggplant buds, the base cover of the flowerpot is opened and it is found that the roots are embedded in the porous non-woven fabric matrix bag in the lower cavity of the flowerpot. After adding the lower cavity of the second flowerpot and the porous non-woven fabric matrix bag, the base cover of the flowerpot is opened again after 15 days for observation. It is found that the roots of the potted plants grow downward and penetrate into the bottom porous non-woven fabric matrix bag in the flowerpot. The roots are firmly deep into the porous non-woven fabric matrix bag and continue to grow downward around, and there is no "root ball" phenomenon. The bottom of the pot is opened in a cycle every 15 days to observe the root growth of the bottom pot. When a total of 4 lower cavities and porous non-woven fabric substrate bags are stacked on the base of the flowerpot, the number of roots in the pot can meet the current nutritional growth needs of the plant, and the ornamental fruit of the potted eggplant has achieved the purpose of viewing and eating. The leaves are normal, the leaves are green, the branches and stems are thick, the flowers are large, and the fruits of each node of continuous fruiting are commercially available, and the potted eggplant has good ornamental value. Therefore, when placing 4 porous non-woven fabric substrate bags in this experiment, the root growth is satisfied, the root system does not show the "root ball" phenomenon, and the root system does not show premature aging. At the same time, the root system promotes the growth of various organs in the aboveground part, and the ornamental value of potted eggplant is achieved.

[0040] When the potted crop "Nuohongqie No. 1" reaches the planting effect, we need to retain the current plant root system capacity and control the growth of excess roots at the same time. When the four lower cavities of the flower pots and the porous non-woven fabric substrate bags are placed, the number of roots in the pot can meet the current plant nutritional growth needs, and the ornamental fruits of the potted eggplant have achieved the purpose of viewing and eating. Therefore, the growth of excess roots after the fourth porous non-woven fabric substrate bag is controlled by adding the fifth lower cavity of the flower pot and the porous non-woven fabric substrate bag, opening the base cover of the flower pot, observing that the roots penetrate into the fifth porous non-woven fabric substrate bag, cutting off the fifth porous non-woven fabric substrate bag and then placing a new porous non-woven fabric substrate bag for replacement. The purpose is to control the growth of the root system by constantly cutting and adding the fifth porous non-woven fabric substrate bag, ensuring that the roots growing downward will not have the "root ball" phenomenon, and promoting the renewal of capillary roots in the pot. Reasonable root capacity absorbs nutrients to provide healthy growth of the aboveground part of the potted eggplant.

[0041] Test results: Each non-woven fabric matrix bag is 5 cm thick, and the detachable flower pot uses a total of 5 porous non-woven fabric matrix bags, and the non-woven fabric matrix bags have a total depth of 25 cm. According to the 15 cm depth of the cavity matrix of the detachable flower pot, plus the non-woven fabric matrix bag, the total depth is 25 cm, so the depth of the detachable flower pot in this test is 40 cm. Therefore, using the flower pot of the present invention, it can be inferred that the root system of the "Nuohongqie No. 1" potted eggplant needs to reach a depth of 40 cm in a 25 cm diameter flower pot to meet the root growth of the "Nuohongqie No. 1" potted eggplant, and the root system absorbs nutrients to fully meet the nutrition supply of the aboveground plant stems, leaves and other organs.

[0042] Conclusion: By using the flowerpot and method of the present invention, the flowerpot space can be increased without removing the pot to promote the natural and normal downward growth of the root system. The root system in the pot meets the current plant nutritional growth needs, avoiding the formation of "root balls" due to the space limitation of the conventional flowerpot during plant growth; after the ornamental fruits of potted plants have achieved the purpose of viewing and eating, the formation of "root balls" can be controlled by repeatedly cutting off and adding a porous non-woven fabric substrate bag at the bottom layer to eliminate excess roots. Therefore, not only can the "root ball" problem be solved to overcome the defect of the existing potting technology that damages the plant root system, but also the required flowerpot volume size of the variety can be measured, providing a basis for the selection of the flowerpot volume size of the present method for the plants of the variety.
