Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant cultivation technology, specifically a convenient plant cultivation rack. Background Technology

[0002] Plant cultivation racks are mainly used in home gardening, balcony planting, small greenhouse cultivation, and plant research experiments. In home gardening, they can meet the needs of residents to cultivate succulents, flowers, and small vegetables; in balcony planting, they are suitable for cultivating diverse plants in limited spaces; in small greenhouses, they facilitate centralized management of multiple plant varieties; and in plant research experiments, they can precisely control cultivation environment parameters to assist in the study of plant growth characteristics.

[0003] Existing technological defects

[0004] Fixed and rigid structure: Traditional plant cultivation racks are mostly welded or one-piece structures, and their height and angle cannot be adjusted. When cultivating succulents in home gardening, seedlings need a lower, gentler angle to reduce light intensity, while the growth period requires raising the rack and increasing the angle to increase the light area. Traditional cultivation racks cannot meet these requirements, thus limiting plant growth.

[0005] Functional deficiencies: The lack of integrated water storage and drainage design means that buckets and basins need to be placed separately when cultivating at home, which takes up space and is easy to tip over; moving them depends on manual lifting, and it is difficult for the elderly and women to move multi-layered and heavy-duty cultivation racks, making it inconvenient to move them between balconies and indoors.

[0006] Poor versatility and compatibility: Multi-layer cultivation racks are usually fixed in angle and height as a whole, and cannot be adjusted independently for each layer of plants. If you are cultivating both light-loving roses and shade-loving pothos at the same time, traditional cultivation racks cannot provide suitable environments for the two types of plants separately, reducing space utilization and plant survival rates.
