Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flower pots, in particular to a flower pot and a tray used therefor. Background Art

[0002] Plants often die from waterlogging and root rot in the center of the pot. Because plant roots tend to grow towards the light and water, they tend to grow randomly toward the inner walls and bottom of the pot. The center of the pot has fewer roots, and the soil in the center is least likely to absorb moisture. This makes it easier for tropical plants to rot.

[0003] Growing plants is mainly about growing their roots. Tropical plant roots are most afraid of being airtight, which can cause the roots to become suffocated and lead to unhealthy plants. Existing flower pots on the market have small holes at the bottom that leak, or ineffective holes on the sides, and there is no gap between the bottom of the flower pot and the tray, resulting in poor air circulation, which seriously affects plant growth. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a flowerpot, comprising a flowerpot body, the bottom of the flowerpot body is arranged in an upward arc shape, and a plurality of drainage holes are opened at the bottom of the flowerpot body.

[0005] Preferably, a plurality of supporting feet are provided around the bottom of the flower pot body, and a gap is provided between two adjacent supporting feet.

[0006] Preferably, the inner wall of the flowerpot body is evenly distributed with ribs extending through the raised bottom.

[0007] Preferably, the edges of both sides of the rib are provided with transverse guide arcs, and the transverse guide arcs have a slight curvature.

[0008] Preferably, a longitudinal guide arc is provided between the bottom of the rib and the bottom of the flowerpot body.

[0009] Preferably, the longitudinal guide arc is in the shape of an upward-guiding arc.

[0010] Preferably, the flowerpot body is a hollow columnar structure.

[0011] A tray comprises a tray body for placing a flower pot body.

[0012] Preferably, the tray body is in the shape of a hollow disc, the bottom end of the tray body is sealed and the top end has an opening.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the tray body is provided with pads having the same number as the supporting legs.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. In the present invention, the bottom of the flowerpot body is arranged in an upward arc shape, so that the middle height of the bottom is greater than the height at the bottom edge, which can increase the air circulation at the bottom of the flowerpot body and thus prevent the plants from having their roots suffocated and becoming unhealthy.

[0016] 2. In the present invention, the flower pot body is elevated by the tray body, so that the water leaking out after each watering can be accumulated at the bottom of the tray body, and the bottom of the flower pot body will not be exposed to water, thereby avoiding root suffocation and rot.

[0021] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are provided for purposes of illustration and description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.

[0022] See also Figures 1-2 In this embodiment, a flowerpot and a tray used therefor are provided, including a flowerpot body 1. The flowerpot body 1 has a hollow columnar structure, and the bottom of the flowerpot body 1 is arranged in an upward arc shape, so that the middle height of the bottom is greater than the height at the bottom edge, which can increase the air circulation at the bottom of the flowerpot body 1, thereby preventing the plants from becoming root-suffocated and becoming unhealthy.

[0023] Furthermore, a plurality of drainage holes 102 are provided at the bottom of the flowerpot body 1. Since the potting soil for tropical plants is grown in large-particle media, each watering can not only quickly drain out excess water, but also flush out the fine particles that affect root growth from the drainage holes 102, leaving more gaps between the roots and the media, thereby allowing more oxygen to enter and facilitate root growth.

[0024] Furthermore, a plurality of supporting legs 103 are provided around the bottom of the flower pot body 1 , and a gap is provided between two adjacent supporting legs 103 , thereby further increasing the air circulation at the bottom of the flower pot body 1 .

[0025] Furthermore, the inner wall of the flower pot body 1 is evenly distributed with ribs 101 that extend through the bottom protrusion. There are transverse guide arcs 105 on both side edges of the ribs 101. The transverse guide arcs 105 have a slight curvature. A longitudinal guide arc 104 is provided between the bottom of the ribs 101 and the bottom of the flower pot body 1. The longitudinal guide arc 104 is in the shape of an upward-guiding arc.

[0026] In a specific implementation, the ribs 101 are provided to guide the roots to grow orderly downward along the wall of the flower pot body 1, and the lateral guide arcs 105 on both sides of the ribs 101 are used to guide the roots to grow toward the center of the flower pot body 1 when some roots grow horizontally.

[0027] By setting the longitudinal guide arc 104, in order to guide the roots to continue growing toward the center of the flowerpot body 1 when they grow down to the bottom along the inner wall of the flowerpot body 1, the roots in the central part of the flowerpot body 1 can quickly absorb soil moisture, thereby effectively preventing plant root rot.

[0028] See Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a tray is also provided, including a tray body 1 for placing the flower pot body 1, the tray body 2 is in the shape of a hollow disc, the bottom end of the tray body 2 is sealed and the upper end has an opening, and the inner wall of the tray body 2 is provided with pads 201 with the same number as the supporting feet 103, and the pads 201 support the supporting feet 103, which can maximize the air circulation at the bottom of the flower pot body 1, increase the oxygen intake of the potting soil, and is beneficial to the healthy growth of the plants. In addition, the flower pot body 1 is raised by the tray body 2, so that the water leaking after each watering can accumulate at the bottom of the tray body 2, and the bottom of the flower pot body 1 will not be exposed to water, thereby avoiding root suffocation and rot.

[0029] Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field and related fields without making any creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model shall be implemented in accordance with conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified or limited.
