The connecting mechanisms 5 can reduce the occurrence of root damage in pothos.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 2 and 3. In order to reduce the risk of root rot in pothos, the connecting mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes rectangular tubes 501 disposed on the left and right sides of the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the frame 1. A support frame 502 is slidably connected inside the rectangular tubes 501. A ring frame 503 is provided at the top of the left and right support frames 502. The glass vase 2 is disposed inside the ring frame 503. A support plate 504 is provided on the lower side inside the glass vase 2. The lower surface of the support plate 504 has at least two first drainage holes 505. A moisturizing cotton layer 506 is placed on the upper surface of the support plate 504. The lower surface of the moisturizing cotton layer 506 has at least two second drainage holes 507. A soil layer 508 is placed inside the glass vase 2. The soil layer 508 is located on the upper surface of the moisturizing cotton layer 506.

[0023] In this embodiment, the soil layer 508 is a mixture of leaf mold and perlite in a ratio of four to one to ensure soil aeration and drainage. By setting up the glass vase 2, the growth of the pothos roots can be observed, reducing the occurrence of bad roots. The glass vase 2 is made of transparent glass, and bad roots can be cut off when they appear.

[0024] In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism 5 also includes absorbent cotton strips 509 disposed on the left and right sides of the lower surface of the moisturizing cotton layer 506. The bottom end of the absorbent cotton strips 509 passes through the first drain hole 505 and extends into the interior of the frame 1. A temperature sensor 510 is disposed on the left side wall of the inner cavity of the glass vase 2. A controller 511 is disposed on the left side of the left support frame 502. A signal light 512 is embedded and fixed inside the left side of the front of the frame 1. The temperature sensor 510 and the signal light 512 are both electrically connected to the controller 511 through wires.

[0025] In this embodiment, the soil in the soil layer 508 can be drained into the frame 1 through at least two first drainage holes 505 and at least two second drainage holes 507. At the same time, the water inside the frame 1 can be absorbed into the moisturizing cotton layer 506 through the water-absorbing cotton strips 509 on the left and right sides. The moisturizing cotton layer 506 can keep the soil layer 508 moist.

[0026] In this embodiment, at least two first drainage holes 505 are connected to at least two second drainage holes 507. The outer side of the bottom end of the support frame 502 is fitted with the gap of the rectangular tube 501. The left and right rectangular tubes 501 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the longitudinal central axis of the frame 1. At least two first drainage holes 505 are evenly distributed on the lower surface of the support plate 504.

[0028] It should be noted that in winter, the temperature sensor 510 can sense the temperature value in the soil layer 508. When the temperature value of the soil layer 508 is lower than the threshold set by the temperature sensor 510, the temperature sensor 510 sends a signal to the controller 511. The controller 511 turns on the indicator light 512 and makes it flash, prompting people to take heating measures, which can reduce the occurrence of root rot in the potted potted plants.

[0029] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0030] The soil layer 508 is a mixture of leaf mold and perlite in a 4:1 ratio to ensure good aeration and drainage. A glass vase 2 allows observation of the pothos roots, reducing the risk of root rot. At least two first drainage holes 505 and two second drainage holes 507 drain water from the soil layer 508 into the frame 1. Simultaneously, absorbent cotton strips 509 on the left and right sides draw water from inside the frame 1 into a moisturizing cotton layer 506, keeping the soil layer 508 moist. In winter, a temperature sensor 510 detects the temperature in the soil layer 508. When the temperature drops below the threshold set by the temperature sensor 510, it sends a signal to the controller 511, which then activates and flashes an indicator light 512, prompting the user to take warming measures to reduce the risk of root rot in the potted pothos.
