It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0027] To address the problem in existing vegetable cultivation techniques where hot summer weather leads to oxygen deficiency in vegetable roots, resulting in root rot, this invention provides a water and fertilizer management device for potted vegetables. This device promotes liquid flow near the vegetable roots, creating a flowing water environment that more closely resembles natural growing conditions. This stimulates root growth, resulting in stronger roots, and ensures the roots receive sufficient oxygen, improving their tolerance to oxygen deficiency and effectively preventing root rot.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 , Figures 1-6 According to one embodiment of the present invention, a potted vegetable water and fertilizer management planting device includes multiple pots 1 and a liquid supply mechanism 2. Each pot 1 has a cavity 1a and multiple drainage holes 1b. The multiple drainage holes 1b are located at the bottom of the pot and are connected to the cavity 1a. The cavity 1a contains a supporting medium for planting vegetables. The liquid supply mechanism 2 includes a liquid conveying component 21 and multiple liquid guiding components 22. Each liquid guiding component 22 is installed on the top of each pot 1 and is connected to the liquid conveying component 21. The liquid guiding component 22 is used to guide the liquid conveyed by the liquid conveying component 21 to the cavity 1a to irrigate the supporting medium.
[0029] In actual use, when the infusion device 21 is connected to the water source, the liquid in the infusion device 21 can be delivered to each liquid guide 22, and then delivered to the interior of the cavity 1a through the liquid guide 22. After the liquid is used to irrigate the support medium, it is discharged from multiple leakage holes 1b, which improves the fluidity of the liquid in the cavity, ensures that the vegetable roots can come into contact with sufficient oxygen, and effectively avoids the problem of root rot when vegetables are planted in summer.
[0030] It is understandable that the liquid contains dissolved fertilizer, which can provide the nutrients needed for vegetable growth and promote rapid growth.
[0031] It should be noted that, in order to ensure large-scale vegetable cultivation, in one embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, multiple pots 1 are spaced apart and arranged in a straight line, and vegetables can be planted in each pot 1.
[0032] Based on the above scheme, a support member 11 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the basin 1, and the support member 11 has a limiting groove 11a; the infusion component 21 includes an infusion conduit, and the infusion conduit is locked in the limiting groove 11a on each of the basins 1.
[0033] It is understood that the support member 11 is generally L-shaped. The support member 11 includes a horizontal bar and a vertical bar. The horizontal bar is fixed to the basin 1, and the vertical bar is fixed to the horizontal bar. The limiting groove 11a is formed between the horizontal bar, the vertical bar and the basin 1.

When the bottom of the basin 1 passes through the mounting holes, there can be a height difference between the bottom of the basin 1 and the bottom of the collection groove 31a. In addition, multiple through holes can be provided on the support plate.
[0042] In this specific embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 311 are spaced apart circumferentially in the collection tank 31a, and a drainage gap is formed between two adjacent protrusions 311 that communicates with the drainage port 31b; specifically, the drainage gap can guide the liquid output from the leakage hole 1b into the collection tank 31a to the drainage port 31b.
[0043] Based on the above scheme, the seat 31 is provided with a groove 31c, which is located below the collection groove 31a, and the drain pipe 32 can be inserted into the groove 31c.
[0044] Furthermore, based on the above scheme, in order to avoid excessive liquid accumulation in the basin 1, specifically, the side wall of the basin 1 is provided with a plurality of through holes 1c along the circumferential direction; wherein, the distance between the plurality of through holes 1c and the bottom of the basin 1 is 1 / 3 of the length of the basin 1; and the plurality of through holes 1c are all connected to the cavity 1a.
[0045] In addition, based on the above scheme, a cover plate 4 is installed on the top of the basin 1, and the cover plate 4 is provided with at least one planting hole 4a and at least one through hole 4b; it should be noted that vegetables can be planted in the supporting medium through the planting hole 4a, wherein the liquid guiding member 22 can be inserted into the supporting medium through the through hole 4b.
[0046] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the supporting medium is perlite, and coconut coir may also be mixed into the perlite. Coconut coir, made from coconut husks, has good water retention, excellent air permeability, and is environmentally friendly and sustainable. When mixed with perlite, it provides a good moisture balance. Of course, in other embodiments...
[0047] The supporting medium can also be ceramic nutrient soil or crystal mud.
