AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional proximal planting methods face challenges such as root entanglement and damage during repotting, and the difficulty in viewing both rooted plants and cut flowers in the same container.

Method used

The design features vertically grooved inner walls with large and small detachable partition plates, allowing for individual planting spaces. This setup enables easy repotting without damaging roots and allows for the coexistence of rooted plants and cut flowers in the same container by using vases instead of soil.

Benefits of technology

This solution facilitates easy repotting by minimizing root damage and allows for the sequential enjoyment of plants with different viewing periods. Additionally, it provides a versatile way to display both rooted plants and cut flowers in the same container.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a flowerpot for multiple planting with a removable partition plate attached to the inside of the flowerpot. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when planting plants together, a method of directly planting several different kinds of plants in a large flowerpot has been widely used. Also, there are flowerpots for planting plants together that have partitions inside (see Patent Document 1). Furthermore, with conventional flowerpots, it is difficult to appreciate rooted plants and cut flowers in the same container. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-178449 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In traditional potted planting, multiple different plants are planted directly in the pot, so if you try to replant only the plants that have finished flowering, the roots of the plants you want to keep will be tangled with the other plants and will be damaged. Furthermore, you will not be able to plant the new plants without breaking up the root ball, making it difficult to finish nicely. Also, there are cases where a strong plant will spread its roots too far and kill the other plants.

[0005] Even if a pot for planting is used, since multiple plants are planted in the outer chamber, there is a high possibility that the roots of the plants left behind will be damaged when repotting, just as with conventional pots.

[0006] Rooted plants are cared for in soil and cut flowers are cared for in water, making it difficult to display them in the same container. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A vertical groove is provided on each of the inner walls facing each other of the flowerpot from the opening to the bottom, a removable large partition plate is installed with approximately the same length and depth as the width of the flowerpot, and a U-shaped protrusion is provided from the opening to the bottom on the front and back of the large partition plate facing each of the grooves of the flowerpot, and a removable small partition plate with approximately the same length and depth as half the vertical width of the flowerpot is installed, dividing the inside of the flowerpot so that one or two plants can be planted in each. Also, by placing a vase instead of soil in the divided space, it becomes possible to appreciate rooted plants and cut flowers in the same container. Effect of the Invention

[0008] By providing separate spaces, one or two plants can be planted at a time, which makes it easy to replant without damaging the roots of other plants. It also makes it possible to prevent hardy plants from taking on too much root. This means that plants that last for different periods can be replaced in sequence, allowing you to continue enjoying planting in different seasons. Furthermore, by placing a vase in the divided spaces instead of using soil, you can enjoy rooted plants and cut flowers or artificial flowers in the same container, providing a wide range of ways to enjoy the space. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2A is a plan view of the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a plan view of three divisions. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a plan view of a large partition plate of the present invention. [Figure 4] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a rectangular flower pot of the present invention. [Diagram 5] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cylindrical flower pot of the present invention. [Figure 6] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a group planting using the present invention. [Figure 7] FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view of a mixed planting using the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view of a cut flower. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] The flowerpot 1 is basically a square or round flowerpot, but the size and shape vary depending on the purpose and design, and it may not be square or round. Also, drainage holes 6 are provided uniformly on the divided bottom surface for drainage, but there is no rule about the shape or number.

[0011] A large partition board 2 having a length and depth almost equal to the width of the flowerpot 1 is inserted vertically from above into the flowerpot 1, in which grooves 4 are vertically provided from the opening to the bottom on each of the facing inner wall surfaces of the flowerpot 1, dividing the flowerpot into two compartments.

[0012] On the front and back of the large divider plate 2 facing each groove 4 of the flowerpot 1, a U-shaped protrusion 5 into which the small divider plate 3 fits is provided from the opening to the bottom, and the small divider plate 3, which has a length and depth roughly equal to half the vertical width of the flowerpot 1, is inserted vertically from above to divide it into four compartments. Also, the U-shaped protrusions 5 do not necessarily have to be connected.

[0013] Depending on the size of the root ball of the rooted plant 7, it can be divided into three as shown in Figure 2b, or further divided into two, or it can be used as a normal flower pot 1 by removing the small partition board 3 and the large partition board 2. In addition, in the case of a rectangular flower pot 12 as shown in Figure 4, the number of divisions can increase depending on the size of the flower pot 12.

[0014] When planting a rooted plant 7, it is planted using potting soil 9 as shown in Figure 6. Because it is divided, it is possible to plant plants with different potting soils 9, such as ornamental plants and succulents. Furthermore, if a vase 10 is placed in the divided part without using potting soil 9 and water 11 is added, it becomes possible to display cut flowers 8 or artificial flowers, so that a rooted plant 7 and cut flowers 8 can be appreciated in the same container, and its uses are diverse.

Claims

[Claim 1] The flowerpot has a groove formed vertically from the opening to the bottom on each of the inner wall surfaces facing each other, and the flowerpot with partitions is made up of a large partition plate that can be attached and detached and a small partition plate that can be attached and detached, and has U-shaped convex parts on the front and back of the large partition plate that faces each of the grooves of the flowerpot.
