Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Dendrobium cultivation technology, and in particular to a substrate root protection device for epiphytic Dendrobium cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Dendrobium is a precious medicinal herb with a sweet, bland, and slightly salty taste and a cold nature. Dendrobium is an epiphytic orchid that does not require soil cultivation, but it needs a substrate to provide necessary nutrients and water. Substrates that can be used for Dendrobium cultivation include sphagnum moss, peanut shells, moss, sawdust, charcoal, wood blocks, gravel, coconut husks, and pine bark.

[0003] Currently, when Dendrobium is cultivated epiphytically, new plantings or transplanting of Dendrobium seedlings require substrate root protection to stabilize the plant and improve survival rate. However, existing substrate root protection methods cannot simultaneously ensure aeration and moisture retention, and have poor stability. Therefore, in order to better achieve the effect of substrate root protection, improve the survival rate of Dendrobium epiphytic cultivation, and promote technological advancement and enhance core technological competitiveness in the industry, this application proposes a new implementation scheme for substrate root protection devices and application methods for Dendrobium epiphytic cultivation that differs from existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing substrate root protection for Dendrobium, which cannot balance air permeability and moisture retention and has poor stability. Therefore, this invention proposes a substrate root protection device for epiphytic Dendrobium cultivation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A root protection device for Dendrobium epiphytic cultivation includes a root protection mechanism. The root protection mechanism includes a fixing ring, a first net fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring, a second net fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing ring, absorbent cotton adhered to the inner circumference of the fixing ring, and elastic ropes fixedly connected to the top of the first net and the bottom of the second net. Pine bark, moss, and broken tile material are laid from top to bottom inside the fixing ring, the first net, and the second net.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing ring is provided with multiple ventilation holes.

[0008] Furthermore, both the first and second nets are woven from warp and weft threads.

[0009] Furthermore, the warp and weft threads are either nylon threads or cotton rope threads.

[0010] Furthermore, a suspension strap is fixedly connected to the top of the elastic rope of the first net.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing ring, the first pocket net, and the second pocket net form a spherical structure.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. Laying soil with pine bark, moss, and broken tiles can enhance soil drainage, thereby preventing root rot, and at the same time improve soil aeration.

[0014] 2. With the addition of absorbent cotton, excess water is absorbed by the cotton during watering and then slowly supplied to the plant, thus ensuring the plant's moisture. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-3 A substrate root protection device for Dendrobium epiphytic cultivation includes a root protection mechanism, which includes a fixing ring 1. The top end of the fixing ring 1 is hot-melted connected to a first net 3, and the bottom end of the fixing ring 1 is hot-melted connected to a second net 4. The connection is made using a hot-melt process at 120-140℃, and the hot-melt adhesive is EVA hot-melt adhesive. The connection width is 3-5mm.

[0021] The inner circumference of the fixing ring 1 is bonded with absorbent cotton 5. When watering, excess water is absorbed by the absorbent cotton 5 and then slowly supplied to the plant. The top of the first net 3 and the bottom of the second net 4 are both heat-fused with elastic ropes 6, which tighten the first net 3 and the second net 4 and prevent the material from falling off.

[0022] The fixing ring 1, the first net 3, and the second net 4 are covered from top to bottom with a pine bark layer 7, a moss layer 8, and a broken tile layer 9. The pine bark layer 7 is loose in texture and has many pores. When laid on the soil surface or mixed into the cultivation substrate, it can prevent water accumulation after watering and reduce the risk of plant roots rotting due to waterlogging. The moss layer 8 has a dense structure and many pores. It can absorb and store a large amount of water like a sponge and slowly release it to the plant roots. The broken tile layer 9 is hard in texture and has many pores. When laid at the bottom of the planting pit, it can form an elevated structure and quickly guide accumulated water to drain through the gaps.

[0023] The fixing ring 1 is provided with multiple ventilation holes 2. The ventilation holes 2 are circular holes with a diameter of 3-8mm and a spacing of 15-20mm, ensuring that the ventilation area accounts for 30-40% of the surface area of ​​the ring, thereby facilitating the air permeability of the plant.

[0024] Both the first net 3 and the second net 4 are woven from warp and weft threads with a diameter of 1-2mm using a 2×2 weaving method, with a mesh size of 5-15mm. The warp and weft threads are either nylon or cotton rope.

[0025] The ratio of pine bark layer 7, moss layer 8, and broken tile layer 9 is 4:1:2;

[0026] The elastic rope 6 of the first net 3 is heat-fused to the top of the suspension strap 10 so as to select the hanging method to place the plant. The fixing ring 1, the first net 3, and the second net 4 form a spherical structure.

[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the plant is planted in soil covered with pine bark substrate 7, moss substrate 8, and broken tile substrate 9. The above-mentioned soil enhances drainage, thereby preventing root rot. At the same time, it improves soil aeration. Then, when watering, excess water is absorbed by the absorbent cotton 5 and then slowly supplied to the plant through the absorbent cotton 5, so as to replenish the plant with water in a timely manner.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
