Planting system

Abstract

The planting system of this invention includes at least a carrier, a water distribution plate, a water transfer element, and a first medium layer. The carrier has a space for accommodating the first medium layer and the plant. The water distribution plate is disposed within the space and has a plate-shaped porous structure with capillary action. The water transfer element is disposed below the water distribution plate and at least partially contacts the water distribution plate. The first medium layer is located above the water distribution plate and at least partially contacts the planar dispersion area. In this way, the water transfer element can guide the liquid from below upwards to the water distribution plate, and then the water distribution plate disperses the locally introduced liquid in the lateral direction, transforming the water from a locally introduced state to a planar distribution state before supplying it to the first medium layer. The first medium layer provides root zone fixation, water retention, or support for the plant. This invention can stably supply water through passive capillary action, eliminating the need for water pumps or electronic control components, and reducing problems such as localized over-wetting, localized dryness, root rot, and excessive maintenance frequency, thereby improving the growth stability and ease of use of indoor plants.

6. The planting system as described in claim 5, wherein, The planting space can accommodate plants. The planting system is further provided in a cultivation device, which includes a body containing liquid and a cover. The cover is disposed above the body and has a cover hole. The carrier is disposed in the cover hole, and one end of the water transfer element extends into the body to guide the liquid in the body to the water distribution plate.

7. The planting system as described in claim 5, wherein, The water distribution plate is provided with a liquid guiding hole, and the water transfer element is configured as an elongated water guiding element. The water guiding element passes through the liquid guiding hole, and the outer peripheral surface of the water transfer element is at least partially in contact with the hole wall of the liquid guiding hole or the bottom surface of the water distribution plate, so that the liquid introduced by the water transfer element can diffuse from the vicinity of the liquid guiding hole to the planar dispersion area.

8. The planting system as described in claim 7, wherein, The moisture transfer element further includes a second medium layer disposed between the water guiding element and the water equalization plate. The second medium layer is configured as a plate and is at least partially in contact with the planar dispersion area.

9. The planting system as described in any one of claims 5 to 8, wherein, The positioning element has an upper limit ring and a lower limit ring located on the outer periphery of the tube body. The nutrient element is restricted between the upper limit ring and the lower limit ring to limit the longitudinal displacement of the nutrient element relative to the tube body.

10. The planting system as described in claim 9, wherein, The nutrient element is a slow-release fertilizer, a soluble nutrient block, a nutrient colloid, a nutrient granule, or a combination thereof, and the nutrient element is configured to release nutrients under the action of water provided by the water distribution plate.

11. The planting system as described in claim 9, wherein, The nutrient module is positioned outside the main water flow path formed by the water transfer element and the water distribution plate, and forms a lateral diffusion path with the planting space, so that the nutrients released by the nutrient element enter the planting space in a lateral diffusion manner.

12. The planting system as described in any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein, Within the accommodating space, a capillary tube is further disposed above the water distribution plate. The tube has a hollow portion extending in the longitudinal direction, which forms a planting space.

13. The planting system as described in any one of claims 1 to 8, wherein, The material of the moisture transfer element can be a water-absorbing core, a porous medium, a hydrophilic material, ceramsite, volcanic rock, foam, a fibrous medium, or a combination thereof, and its form can be strip, column, sheet, layer, block, filled, partitioned, or a combination thereof.
