Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flower growing devices, and in particular to a simple and convenient home flower growing device. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, growing flowers on balconies has become a part of life. However, how to grow flowers well is a significant problem that troubles many people. The main issues are how to prune, fertilize, and water them. Overwatering can cause root rot, leading to poor flower growth. Home flower growing devices are specially designed for growing flowers at home. They can provide flowers with a suitable growing environment, allowing them to thrive and bloom beautifully at home.
[0003] Existing home gardening devices typically have shallow water storage boxes at the bottom, which can only hold a small amount of water. If you accidentally overwater, the water can easily overflow and even cause root rot. If you forget to water the plants when you go out, the small amount of water in the storage box will not be enough to meet the plants' growth needs, and water shortage will easily occur. They are not very convenient.
[0004] Therefore, to address the problem that existing home gardening devices typically have shallow water storage boxes that easily lead to root rot or dehydration, a water storage component with a larger storage capacity and a water-absorbing component for evenly and in small amounts supplying water and nutrients to the plant can be designed. By setting a water storage component with a capacity of approximately 15%-50% of the flowerpot's own capacity, more water and nutrients can be stored, making it less likely to overwater and cause root rot. Even if watering is forgotten for a period of time, the large-capacity water storage component can still provide enough water and nutrients to the plant's roots, preventing dehydration. By setting a water-absorbing component with a water-absorbing strip, water and nutrients can be evenly and in small amounts supplied to the plant's roots, preventing root burn caused by excessive water and nutrients.

[0031] The history of home gardening devices
[0032] I. Origin and Evolution
[0033] Plant stands, as furniture for displaying greenery, have a history dating back to ancient times. While the earliest plant stands may have been simple in form, over time their variety increased, and their artistry and aesthetic appeal significantly improved. From their initial single function to later diverse designs, plant stands have always served the important task of displaying green plants and flowers.
[0034] II. The Rise of Indoor Flower Stands
[0035] Indoor flower stands, also known as flower stands or tall flower stands, are pieces of furniture specifically designed for displaying flowers and bonsai. They appeared after the Five Dynasties period and gradually increased in number from the Song and Yuan dynasties onwards. The emergence of flower stands not only enriched interior furnishings but also imbued the space with a sense of refinement and elegance. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the craftsmanship of flower stands became even more sophisticated, using superior materials and elegant designs, making them necessities for the upper class seeking a refined lifestyle.
[0036] III. The Development of Modern Flower Stands
[0037] In modern society, with the improvement of people's living standards and living environments, home gardening devices have also seen further development. Modern flower stands are not only diverse in type but also more user-friendly in design, meeting both practical needs and aesthetic appeal. Simultaneously, with the introduction of IoT and AI technologies, home gardening devices have become intelligent, providing users with personalized gardening profiles, real-time monitoring data for potted plants, and other services, greatly enhancing the gardening experience.
[0038] The history of home gardening devices is one of continuous evolution and innovation, witnessing people's pursuit of a better life and their love for the beauty of nature.
[0039] Home gardening systems not only beautify and decorate, but also effectively utilize space, care for plants, and purify the air, bringing numerous benefits to people's lives. However, some problems often arise during the actual use of home gardening systems. Below are some common problems and their causes: 1. Poor Plant Growth: Plants grow slowly, leaves turn yellow, or excessive growth is difficult to control. The main causes may be poor soil quality, insufficient nutrients, unsuitable lighting, or improper watering. Soil and nutrient problems may prevent plants from obtaining the necessary growing conditions; excessive or insufficient light can affect photosynthesis; and too much or too little watering can disrupt the plant's water balance. 2. Plants Infested by Pests and Diseases: Plants are attacked by pests or pathogens, exhibiting symptoms such as lesions and wilting. The main causes may be neglecting pest and disease prevention and treatment, or an unsanitary environment. Pests and pathogens exploit plant weaknesses, and if not detected and treated promptly, they can cause serious damage to plants. 3. Flowers fail to bloom or have a short flowering period: The flowers grow vigorously but fail to bloom, or the flowering period is very short. The main reasons may be insufficient light, excessively high temperature, or nutrient imbalance. Light and temperature are important factors affecting flowering, while nutrient imbalance may prevent the flowers from carrying out normal reproductive growth. 4. Improper placement of flowers: Flowers are placed too crowded, affecting air circulation and light penetration; or the placement is unsuitable, causing the flowers to be unable to adapt to the environment. The main reasons may be a lack of pruning and maintenance, or insufficient understanding of the flowers' growing environment. Crowded placement will affect the growth status of the flowers, while unsuitable placement may prevent the flowers from obtaining the necessary growing conditions.
[0040] Currently, various types of home gardening devices are available on the market. These devices aim to meet the diverse needs of home gardening and enhance the gardening experience and results. Below are some common home gardening devices in detail: 1. Hotbeds / Coldbeds: These are small, frost-resistant structures that utilize heat generated by sunlight or fermentation materials to regulate temperature and provide a suitable growing environment for flowers. However, they are relatively complex to build and maintain and require a significant amount of space. 2. Plastic Greenhouses: These are economical and practical gardening facilities used for frost, rain, and wind protection, and can extend or delay the flowering period. However, special attention must be paid to ventilation and temperature control to avoid affecting flower growth. 3. Various Flower Containers: These include cylindrical, trumpet-shaped, conical, regular-shaped, and carved flower containers, as well as window-shaped containers, shallow bowls, and hanging baskets, used to hold and display flowers, enhancing the visual appeal. However, some uniquely shaped flower containers can be difficult to match with flowers, and cleaning can be challenging. While each device has its advantages, they also have certain drawbacks. Therefore, it is necessary to choose and use them appropriately based on actual needs.
[0041] Please see Figures 1-2 This utility model provides an embodiment: a simple and convenient home flower growing device, including a flowerpot 1, a water storage component and a water absorption component. The lower end of the flowerpot 1 is provided with a water storage component for supporting the flowerpot 1 and collecting water and nutrients. The bottom of the flowerpot 1 is evenly distributed with first ventilation holes 4 to increase root aeration and prevent water accumulation at the bottom. The bottom of the flowerpot 1 is evenly distributed with three sets of first through holes 5 from left to right. Each of the three sets of first through holes 5 is fitted with a water absorption component for guiding water and nutrients from the water storage component into the flowerpot 1. The lower end of the water absorption component extends through the water storage component to its bottom. The capacity of the water storage component is 15%-50% of the flowerpot 1.
[0042] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the water storage component includes a water storage tray 201 and a placement groove 202. The upper end of the water storage tray 201 is provided with a placement groove 202 for placing a flowerpot 1. The bottom of the flowerpot 1 is engaged with the placement groove 202. The bottom of the placement groove 202 is provided with second ventilation holes 203 evenly distributed around it for water and nutrients in the flowerpot 1 to pass through. The bottom of the placement groove 202 is provided with three sets of second through holes 204 evenly distributed from left to right for the water absorption component to pass through. The second ventilation holes 203 and the second through holes 204 at the bottom of the placement groove 202 are respectively provided to correspond to the first ventilation hole 4 and the first through hole 5 at the lower end of the flowerpot 1.
[0043] Please see Figure 4In this embodiment, the water absorption assembly includes a guide pipe 301, a water absorption strip 303, and an installation strip 304. The guide pipe 301 is evenly distributed in three sets from left to right. The upper part of the three sets of guide pipes 301 located inside the flowerpot 1 is linearly distributed and evenly distributed around the surface, with a third ventilation hole 302 for water and nutrients to pass through. The interior of each of the three sets of guide pipes 301 is provided with a water absorption strip 303 for absorbing water and nutrients from the water storage assembly. The upper end of the water absorption strip 303 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide pipe 301 through the installation strip 304. The length of the water absorption strip 303 varies and can be flexibly set according to actual usage needs. The water absorption strip 303 absorbs water from the lower end, so that water and nutrients extend from the lower end of the water absorption strip 303 all the way to the upper part and are transmitted to the roots of the flower through the third ventilation hole 302 at the upper part of the guide pipe 301.
[0044] When working, first place the flowerpot 1 on top of the water storage component, and then insert the water absorption components into the flowerpot 1 in sequence, extending to the bottom of the water storage component.
[0045] Then put an appropriate amount of soil into flowerpot 1 and plant the flower;
[0046] Afterwards, water is poured into the flowerpot 1 using a watering tool. Water can be sprayed directly onto the soil surface or introduced into the water storage tray 201 through the guide pipe 301 of the water absorption component.
[0047] Excess water poured onto the soil surface will enter the water storage tray 201 through the first air vent 4 and the second air vent 203, and be collected in the water storage tray 201.
[0048] During the growth of the flower, the water and nutrients in the water storage tray 201 are supplied to the roots of the flower in small amounts and evenly through the water absorption component. The water is absorbed by the water absorption strip 303 and continuously drawn upwards. Finally, the water is transferred to the roots of the flower through the third ventilation hole 302 at the top of the guide pipe 301.
[0049] Fertilizer can be directly introduced into the water absorption strip 303 through the guide pipe 301 or into the water storage tray 201 below, and then supplied to the soil through the water absorption strip 303 to prevent excessive fertilizer from burning the roots.
[0050] Through the above steps, by setting up a water storage component with a large water capacity and a water absorption component for evenly and in small amounts to provide water and nutrients to the flowers, a large amount of water and nutrients can be stored in the water storage component with a capacity of about 15%-50% of the flowerpot's own capacity. This allows for the collection and reuse of water that has been accidentally overwatered, making it less likely for root rot to occur due to overwatering. Even if watering is forgotten for a period of time, the large-capacity water storage component can still provide enough water and nutrients to the roots of the flowers, preventing them from drying out. By setting up a water absorption component with a water absorption strip 303, water and nutrients can be evenly and in small amounts to provide water and nutrients to the roots of the flowers, preventing root burn caused by excessive water and nutrients. This solves the problem that existing home gardening devices usually have shallow water storage boxes at the bottom, which can only store a small amount of water. If watering is accidentally overwatered, it is easy for water to overflow and even cause root rot. If you are away and forget to water, the small amount of water in the storage box is not enough to meet the growth needs of the flowers, which can easily lead to water shortage and poor convenience.
