[0002] Soilless cultivation is a modern seedling raising technology that uses lightweight materials as the seedling raising substrate to fix plants, allows the plant roots to directly contact the nutrient solution, and uses mechanized precise sowing to form seedlings at one time. The planting sponge is a new type of soilless cultivation substrate that has emerged in recent years and is made by mixing and foaming a polymer foaming material with a certain proportion of organic matter or inorganic matter. The planting sponge is widely used in the field of soilless cultivation because of its advantages such as loose air permeability, good drainage performance, cleanliness, non-toxic and odorless, and light weight.

[0003] The existing planting sponge is to stuff the seeds into the seams on the sponge surface and then let the seeds germinate. Since the seeds are stuffed into the sponge seams, the light exposure rate of the seeds will be insufficient, resulting in insufficient seed germination rate. The manual operation is inconvenient, the production cost is high, and it is not conducive to the large-scale promotion of the planting sponge technology. In addition, the seeds are stuffed into the seams on the sponge surface and grow in the seams on the sponge surface, which is not conducive to the downward growth of the roots. Moreover, as the sponge grows, it lacks protection for the plant roots and is prone to lodging problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] Preferably, the outer diameter of the retaining ring is larger than the diameter of the sleeve, the inner diameter of the retaining ring is smaller than the diameter of the sleeve, and the sponge cushion block is in contact with the part of the retaining ring located in the sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, an arc-shaped sunken hole for placing seeds is arranged at the center of the upper part of the seedling raising plate.

[0008] Preferably, the through groove is in an inverted conical shape with a small upper end and a large lower end, and the arc-shaped sunken hole is coaxial with the through groove.

[0009] Preferably, the pressing ring is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, the polyurethane sponge matrix is made by polyurethane foaming, and highly water-absorbent resin fibers are uniformly dispersed in the polyurethane sponge matrix.

[0011] Preferably, water-permeable holes are uniformly distributed on the outer wall of the sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, the sleeve is made of hard plastic, and the seedling plate is made of polyurethane sponge.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By providing the sleeve, the pressing ring and the retaining ring, the overall load-bearing capacity is improved.
