Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forestry planting technology, and more specifically, to a planting container for aerial root plants. Background Technology

[0002] Aerial root plants are those plants that develop adventitious roots from their stems and grow in the air. These aerial roots can absorb moisture from the atmosphere or nutrients from other plants, and they also serve to climb on other objects, helping the plants survive and reproduce in unfavorable environmental conditions. Common aerial root plants include pothos, ivy, phalaenopsis orchids, and trumpet vines. The aerial roots of these plants themselves have a certain ornamental value and are often made into potted plants for decoration.

[0003] Aerial roots are actually a way for plants to replenish water. However, if the plant's root system in the soil can absorb enough water, the growth of aerial roots will be affected. Conversely, to promote the growth of aerial roots, it is necessary to reduce the absorption of water by the roots in the soil. Traditional potted plants, which use moist soil, are not suitable for plants with aerial roots. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a planting container for aerial root plants, which has a reasonable structural design, strong ventilation effect, reduces the amount of water that plants obtain from the soil, and promotes the growth of aerial roots.

Example

[0026] This embodiment provides a planting container 100 for aerial root plants, see reference. Figure 1 As shown, it includes multiple columnar bodies 110 of similar length, arranged vertically and spaced parallel to each other, forming a pot body 120 in a circumferential array. The pot body 120 contains an inner cavity 121 for holding the planting substrate. The multiple columnar bodies 110 are connected as a whole by elastic connectors 130, forming air gaps 122 between adjacent columnar bodies 110. On one hand, the air gaps 122 between the columnar bodies 110 provide better air permeability, reducing the water supply to the soil. On the other hand, the size of the pot body 120 can be easily adjusted according to the number of columnar bodies 110, adapting to the plant's development and growth.

[0027] Furthermore, the diameter of the columnar body 110 is 1-3 cm, and the length is 20-40 cm. Optionally, bamboo is used as the material for the columnar body 110 in this embodiment. Bamboo not only has good strength, but also has a wide range of raw material sources. By fixing the number of bamboo nodes, columnar bodies 110 of a relatively accurate length can be obtained. At the same time, bamboo has auspicious connotations in Chinese culture, possessing both ornamental value and environmental significance.

[0028] Optionally, there may be multiple elastic connectors 130, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the columnar body 110. The spaced-apart elastic connectors 130 can make the connection between the columnar bodies 110 more stable.

[0029] Furthermore, the elastic connector 130 is an elastic rope ( Figure 3 (Taking elastic rope as an example), there are two elastic ropes, one connected to the top and one to the bottom of the column 110. Using rope as the elastic connector 130 simplifies the manufacturing process; the individual column 110s are connected together to form a panel, which is then assembled into a basin 120. The flexible connection also allows for folding and storage, and is more advantageous when adjusting the number of column 110s. The elastic rope at the bottom is shorter than the one at the top. This creates a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom when assembling the basin 120, making it easier to fill with substrate.

[0030] In addition, the elastic connector 130 can also be an elastic rubber ring ( Figure 1 Taking an elastic rubber ring as an example, the elastic rubber ring has multiple mounting holes for the columnar body 110 to pass through. During actual installation, the columnar body 110 is simply passed through these mounting holes to complete the installation. Compared to elastic ropes, the elastic rubber ring has a more rigid structure and better stability of the basin body 120, but it also has the disadvantage of not being able to adjust the number of columnar bodies 110. Similarly, there are two elastic rubber rings, connected to the top and bottom of the columnar body 110 respectively. The diameter of the elastic rubber ring at the bottom is smaller than the diameter of the elastic rubber ring at the top, giving the basin body 120 a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

[0031] It should be noted that after the basin body 120 is installed, due to gravity, the columnar body 110 will deflect to a certain extent, thus forming... Figure 1 The spiral arrangement shown makes the overall appearance of the basin 120 more visually appealing.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the aerial root plant planting container 100 also includes a partition 140, which is disc-shaped and located in the lower middle part of the pot body 120, dividing the inner cavity 121 into a relatively independent upper cavity and a lower cavity. The partition 140 can also be made of bamboo, by arranging multiple bamboos in a row and then cutting them into a disc shape, with a metal ring 141 fixing it from the outside. Since the pot body 120 has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, the partition 140 only needs to be processed to a suitable diameter to be secured in the appropriate position, without the need for additional support structures. During planting, the upper cavity is used to hold the substrate, which can be prepared with a ratio of 1:1 soil, 8:8 bark, and 1:1 gravel, with low overall humidity. The lower cavity acts as a barrier below, preventing water from seeping into the substrate.

[0033] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, the columnar body 110 has a through-hole 111 extending along its length, and the through-hole 111 is filled with absorbent material (not shown). If bamboo is used as the raw material, the through-hole 111 naturally present in the bamboo can be utilized, simply by opening the bamboo nodes. The absorbent material can be cotton thread, threaded through the top and bottom ends of the bamboo. In use, the pot body 120 is placed in a tray 200 containing shallow water, avoiding direct contact between the water and the partition 140. The water is conducted through the cotton thread to the top of the pot body 120, increasing the humidity of the air above and inducing the plant to obtain water from the air, thereby further promoting the growth of aerial roots.

[0034] In summary, this utility model provides an aerial root plant planting container 100, which includes multiple columnar bodies 110 of similar length, arranged vertically and spaced apart in parallel, forming a pot body 120 in a circumferential array. The pot body 120 contains an inner cavity 121 for holding the planting substrate. The multiple columnar bodies 110 are connected as a whole by elastic connectors 130, and a ventilation gap 122 is formed between adjacent columnar bodies 110. This aerial root plant planting container 100 is reasonably designed and easy to install. On the one hand, it has good air permeability, which can reduce the water supply to the soil. On the other hand, the size of the pot body 120 can be easily adjusted according to the number of columnar bodies 110 to adapt to the plant's development and growth.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
