The individual planting bag includes seeds and nutrient soil, and the nutrient soil and seeds are placed inside the inner cup.

[0005] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the annular cylinder is the same as the diameter of the inner cup.

[0006] Furthermore, the annular column is provided with multiple drainage holes.

[0007] Furthermore, scanning the QR code generates information on the key points of care, efficacy, growth process, and processing of the seed during its planting process.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner cup body is made of wood, and the outer cup body is made of transparent material.

[0009] Furthermore, the puzzle kit consists of multiple puzzle pieces, each of which is fitted into the sticker groove to form a complete picture.

[0010] Advantages of this utility model:

[0011] This invention allows users to choose their preferred seeds, and each seed comes with dedicated nutrient soil, reducing the difficulty of cultivation and promoting the growth of potted plants. The QR code on the bottom of the pot acts as an identification card for the medicinal herb. By scanning the QR code, users can easily access various information about the herb, including its name, growth process, processing method, medicinal uses, and cultivation methods, and even hear the story behind the potted plant's illustrations. We can also track user scan data and feedback for data auditing and problem investigation.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a smart Chinese medicinal herb potted planter, including an inner cup 1, an outer cup 2, an absorbent cotton rope 3, a puzzle bag 4, a QR code 5, and an individual planting bag. The diameter of the outer cup 2 is larger than that of the inner cup 1. The inner cup 1 is placed coaxially inside the outer cup 2. The inner cup 1 is made of wood, such as walnut, greywood, teak, mahogany, or cedar. The inner cup 1 is used to hold nutrient soil and seeds.

[0020] The outer cup body 2 is made of transparent material to facilitate the holding of water and the observation of water volume. It can be made of biodegradable material, ensuring aesthetics while contributing to sustainable development.

[0021] The bottom of the outer cup body 2 is concentrically provided with a circular post 21. The top of the circular post 21 is concentrically provided with a circular protrusion 22. The bottom of the inner cup body 1 is provided with a ring slot 12 that matches the circular protrusion 22. The outer diameter of the circular post 21 is the same as the diameter of the inner cup body 1. The ring slot 12 is inserted into the circular protrusion 22, which engages the wooden inner cup body 1, maintaining a suitable distance between the inner cup body 1 and the water inside the outer cup body 2. Multiple drainage holes 24 are provided on the circular post 21, connecting the inside and outside of the circular post 21. Water from the outer cup body 2 enters the interior of the circular post 21 through the drainage holes 24 and comes into contact with the absorbent cotton rope 3.

[0022] A circular hole 11 is provided at the center of the bottom of the inner cup 1. A water-absorbing cotton rope 3 is passed through the circular hole 11, with one end placed inside the inner cup 1 and the other end placed inside the circular ring 21. The water-absorbing cotton rope 3 absorbs water from the outer cup 2 to provide moisture to the plant.

[0023] The outer cup body 2 has a sticker groove 23 on its outer wall. The puzzle bag 4 is attached to the sticker groove 23. The puzzle bag 4 is composed of multiple puzzle pieces 41, each of which is attached to the sticker groove 23 to form a complete picture. The puzzle pieces 41 in the puzzle bag 4 are mainly made of wood. The puzzle bag 4 contains multiple thematic images rich in cultural connotations. The puzzle pieces 41 are cut and are highly joined together, making them less likely to fall apart and giving them a more durable texture.

[0024] The QR code 5 is affixed to the bottom of the outer cup body 2. Scanning the QR code 5 generates information such as the care points, efficacy, growth process, and processing process of the seed during the planting process.

[0025] The individual planting package includes high-quality seeds and suitable special nutrient soil. The inner cup 1 contains the nutrient soil and the seeds. Users can choose their favorite seeds according to their needs, and each type of seed is equipped with special nutrient soil.

[0026] This utility model allows users to view planting and cultivation methods, maintenance techniques, medicinal parts, and growth processes of plants by scanning QR code 5. It also allows the generation of videos or audio recordings from QR code 5, providing access to traditional Chinese medicine stories within the jigsaw puzzle. The individual planting kit mainly includes high-quality seeds and suitable specialized nutrient soil. Seeds include lily, honeysuckle, mint, dodder, dendrobium, selaginella, safflower, notoginseng, ginseng, etc. Users can choose seeds according to their needs, and each type of seed comes with its own specialized nutrient soil. For example, ginseng is planted in humus-rich, loose, well-drained sandy loam, primarily using black soil. Perilla is planted in garden soil, leaf mold, and well-rotted sandy loam. Taking perilla cultivation as an example, the seeds are first soaked in a glass container filled with water for 4-6 hours to promote germination. The prepared nutrient soil is then placed in the planting cup, the treated seeds are scattered on the soil, a layer of soil is added, and finally, a piece of gauze is used to cover the soil. Spray the seeds with water daily as needed. Once the seeds have germinated, place the perilla seedlings in sunlight.

[0027] In addition to planting potted plants, this embodiment can also be used to store stationery, placed on a desk, which is both practical and beautiful.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
