TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to but not limited to the plant cultivation technical field, especially a novel root control flowerpot. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a container for cultivating plants, flowerpots have undergone a long development process. Traditional flowerpots usually focus on appearance design and material selection to meet basic planting needs. However, with the continuous progress of horticultural technology and people's higher requirements for plant growth quality, the function of flowerpots has gradually changed from a simple container to a tool that can positively affect plant growth.
[0003] In the aspect of root control technology, more and more attention and research have been paid in recent years. The emergence of root control flowerpots aims to solve the problems of limited root growth, easy entanglement, poor air permeability, etc. in traditional flowerpots. Through special structure and design, root control flowerpots can avoid root entanglement, guide healthy root growth, improve plant survival rate and growth speed, and prolong the time of repotting, etc.
[0004] Currently, there are mainly the following types of root control flowerpots on the market:
[0005] 1. Air root control flowerpot: Utilize the air permeation holes or gaps on the pot wall to increase the contact between air and roots, promoting the respiration of roots.
[0006] 2. Physical root control flowerpot: By setting physical barriers such as partitions or protrusions inside the pot, limit the disordered growth of roots, and promote more branching and development of roots.
[0007] Existing technical solution one: Common air root control flowerpots, such as some plastic flowerpots on the market, have a small number of air permeation holes on the pot wall. These air permeation holes are usually unevenly distributed, and the hole diameter is small, with limited air flow effect.
[0008] Existing technical solution two: Some physical root control flowerpots have simple partitions inside the pot to stop the disordered growth of roots. However, the position and number of partitions are not reasonably designed, resulting in poor root control effect and easy damage to roots.
[0009] Existing technical solution three: Some high-end root control flowerpots use complex multi-layer structures and expensive materials, although the root control effect is good, but the cost is too high, difficult to popularize.
[0010] Although the existing root control flowerpots have improved the growth conditions of plants to some extent, there are still some shortcomings, such as:
[0011] 1. The root control effect is not ideal, and some flowerpots still cannot effectively prevent root entanglement and excessive growth.
[0012] 2. Air permeability and drainage need to be further improved, which easily leads to root waterlogging and oxygen deficiency.
[0013] 3. The structure is complex, the manufacturing difficulty is great, the cost is high, and it is not conducive to large-scale popularization and application.
[0014] In view of the above analysis, the existing technology has the technical problems to be solved urgently:
[0015] 1. The air control root flowerpot of the prior art has unreasonable air permeation hole distribution, which is uneven, small in number, small in aperture, and poor in air flow effect, so as to fail to fully meet the oxygen demand of plant root system, thereby affecting the growth speed and health condition of the plant.
[0016] 2. The traditional physical root control flowerpot has unreasonable baffle design, and the position and number are not scientific, the root control effect is poor, the root system is easily damaged, and the root system cannot be effectively guided to grow and branch healthily and orderly.
[0017] 3. Although the part of high-end root control flowerpots have good root control effect, due to the use of complex multi-layer structure and expensive materials, the manufacturing cost is high, which greatly limits the wide application in the market, so that ordinary consumers are difficult to afford.
[0018] In summary, the technical scheme of the new root control flowerpot is committed to providing an innovative solution that can effectively control plant root growth, optimize air permeability and drainage, and has cost-effectiveness and easy popularization. Practical new type content
[0019] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a new root control flowerpot.
[0020] The present application is realized in this way, a new root control flowerpot, the side plate of the flowerpot is wavy concave-convex, special hole positions are punched on the flowerpot side plate, the bottom hole position is punched on the flowerpot bottom, the central inner convex structure is provided with supporting feet around.
[0021] In combination with the above technical scheme and solved technical problems, the technical scheme to be protected by the present application has the following advantages and positive effects:
[0022] First, the present application can effectively control plant root growth, optimize air permeability and drainage, and has cost-effectiveness and easy popularization.
[0023] Second, as the creative auxiliary evidence of the claims of the present application, it is also embodied in the following important aspects:
[0024] (1) The expected income and commercial value of the technical scheme of the utility model are: the root control flowerpot improves the root growth effect of potted plants, promotes the healthy development of the root system, thereby directly leading to better growth effect of the plant itself, and improves the commercial value of the plant. In addition, the root control flowerpot can increase the growth time of the plant in the pot, reduce the number of pot changing, save cost, and increase benefit. At the same time, these features are more convenient for the actual use experience of consumers and are more easily accepted by the market. The above features will produce objective income in the large-scale flowerpot production and have important commercial value.
[0025] (2) The technical scheme of the utility model fills the technical blank in the industry at home and abroad: the technical scheme effectively combines air root control and physical root control together, thereby realizing more effective root control effect. Further, this design idea can be extended to flowerpots of different materials, different specifications and models, and different styles, and the root control structure can also be designed at different positions according to actual needs. This design concept is innovative.
[0026] (3) The technical scheme of the utility model solves the technical problems that people have long been eager to solve but have always failed to succeed: in actual production and use, ordinary flowerpots are faced with poor ventilation and air permeability, easy water accumulation in the bottom soil, easy entanglement of the root system, few lateral roots, easy rotting of the root system at the bottom of the flowerpot, and frequent pot changing of perennial plants, which are problems that people are eager to solve. The technical design utilizes the air and physical root control fusion technology to solve the above problems to a great extent, and has positive innovation and practicality.
[0027] (4) The technical scheme of the utility model overcomes technical prejudice: although plastic flowerpots are cheap and beautiful, they are generally considered unsuitable for long-term cultivation of plants due to poor water and air permeability. This technology solves this problem from the design and structure of the flowerpot. With such a design, plastic flowerpots will better overcome the short board, improve the planting effect, and save cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the side plate 1 of the flowerpot has a wavy, uneven shape, and special holes 2 are drilled on the side plate 1 to control root growth. The bottom of the flowerpot also has bottom holes 2, a central convex structure 4, and supporting feet 6 around the perimeter, which allows for both water and air permeability and root control.
[0035] This flowerpot design controls plant root growth through its special structure and hole placement. The specific working principle is as follows:
[0036] 1) Wavy, concave-convex side plates:
[0037] The wavy, uneven design of the flowerpot's side panel 1 provides an irregular inner wall surface 3. This design allows the roots to encounter varying surface friction and resistance during growth. The uneven surface not only increases the contact area between the roots and the flowerpot's side wall 7 but also encourages the roots to change direction during growth, thus preventing the roots from growing in a circular pattern.
[0038] Root control: This design effectively prevents roots from spreading outwards without restraint, reducing tangling. When roots encounter the recesses in the side plates, the likelihood of excessive root elongation is reduced, promoting lateral root growth and thus maintaining healthy and balanced root development in the plant.
[0039] 2) Special hole position 2 setting:
[0040] Controlling root growth: The special hole design on the side plate serves to ventilate and allow water to pass through, while also interfering with the natural growth pattern of the roots. The holes can be designed to be evenly distributed or spaced at specific intervals, so that when the roots come into contact with hole 2, the "air pruning" effect inhibits the growth of the plant's root tips, causing them to branch or turn, thus preventing the roots from elongating, tangling, and forming root entanglements, which would otherwise affect plant growth.
[0041] Water and gas exchange: The holes ensure water and gas exchange inside the flowerpot, allowing for good drainage and aeration of both the upper and lower soil layers, thus preventing root rot caused by excessive moisture or lack of oxygen in the lower soil layer.
[0042] 3) Bottom hole 2 and central convex structure 4:
[0043] Water and air permeable function: the bottom hole position 2 and the central inner convex structure 4 can effectively remove excess moisture, while ensuring that the air in the pot bottom can flow smoothly. The central inner convex part avoids water accumulation at the bottom of the pot, reduces the accumulation of root systems at the bottom of the flowerpot, thereby reducing the risk of root rot.
[0044] Supporting feet 6 design: the supporting feet 6 around the bottom provide stable support, avoiding direct contact of the flowerpot with the ground, thereby further promoting the air permeability and drainage of the bottom, reducing the risk of soil microbial infection. The arrangement of the supporting feet 6 also ensures the stability and aesthetics of the flowerpot in use, while also avoiding tilting or collapse of the flowerpot when the soil is wet.
[0045] 4) Comprehensive effect:
[0046] Root health: the overall design allows the root system to receive uniform air and water supply, while the irregular internal structure and holes on the pot wall promote the growth of lateral roots, making the direction of the main root more reasonable, thereby improving the health status and growth efficiency of the plant.
[0047] Prevent overgrowth: by controlling the growth direction of the root system and limiting the expansion of the root system, it can effectively prevent the overgrowth of the plant root system, avoid root entanglement, and ensure that the plant can absorb nutrients and water more healthily.
[0048] Through the above design, the flowerpot can effectively control the direction of plant root growth, main and lateral root structure, ensure that the plant root system is lush and healthy, and thus ensure the good growth of the plant.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" and the like are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
