The acrylic transparent tube 4 and the externally threaded insert 6 are made of the same material. The outer diameter of the push rod 11 matches the inner diameter of the positioning tube 8. The push rod 11 can slide up and down along the inside of the positioning tube 8 to facilitate the removal of the bulb and avoid damage to it.

[0028] Specifically, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the external threaded insert 6 is screwed into the bottom of the acrylic transparent tube 4. The external threaded insert 6 and the bottom support 7 can close the bottom of the acrylic transparent tube 4. Some fine sand 14 is poured into the top opening of the acrylic transparent tube 4. Then the taro microbulbs are put into the acrylic transparent tube 4, and some fine sand 14 is poured to cover the bulbs. A certain amount of germination liquid is sprayed and the germination is carried out by the sand burying method. When sprouts are seen through the acrylic transparent tube 4, the microbulbs need to be taken out according to the shape of the sprouts. The push plate 10 is lifted up, and the push plate 10 pushes the push rod 11 to move up along the positioning tube 8.
