  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of a cultivation tool and a flower pot according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The cultivation tool 50 which concerns on this invention shown to Fig.1 (a) has the inner frame 30 which replaces the outer frame 40 and soil. The outer frame body 40 and the inner frame body 30 are preferably cylindrical, but the outer frame body 40 and the inner frame body 30 are not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be in the shape of another polygonal column such as a triangular prism or a quadrangular column. FIG.1 (c) has shown the cultivation tool of a square pole. The cultivation tool 50 is used by being inserted into a flower pot 60 described later. The top and bottom surfaces are the same size or the bottom surface is made smaller. The top and bottom shapes may be different. As shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable to provide height differences 30a, 30b, 40a, and 40b at the edge of the upper surface.

  Next, the outer frame body 40 and the inner frame body 30 of the cultivation tool 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 2 is a view showing the outer frame body 40 and the inner frame body 30 of the cultivation tool 50 according to the present invention. The material of the outer frame body 40 is preferably a synthetic resin material, but it is not always necessary to use a synthetic resin material, and wood, a metal material, or the like may be used. In addition, the side surface of the outer frame body 40 has a plurality of outer frame holes 44 through which the roots of the plant to be cultivated pass. The outer frame holes 44 are preferably formed at equal intervals and have an elliptical shape as shown in FIG. The shape of the outer frame hole 44 is not elliptical, but may be any shape such as a circle, a triangle, or a quadrangle. It is desirable that the outer frame holes 44 be provided in a single line or a plurality of lines in a linear or staggered pattern. And it is preferable to arrange in the side surface of the side 40a where the edge of an upper surface is low. As shown in FIG. 2B, when the cultivation tool 50 is a quadrangular prism, the outer frame holes 44 can be arranged on the two surfaces 40a on the lower side 40a.

  Next, the inner frame 30 is configured to be detachable from the outer frame 40. The material of the inner frame 30 is preferably a synthetic resin material as in the case of the outer frame 40. However, it is not always necessary to use a synthetic resin material, and wood, a metal material, or the like may be used. Further, the side surface of the inner frame 30 has an inner frame hole 34 through which the root of the plant to be cultivated passes. It is desirable that the inner frame holes 34 be provided in one line or a plurality of lines in a linear or staggered pattern. The inner frame holes 34 are spaced at equal intervals, and preferably have substantially the same shape at substantially the same position as the outer frame holes 44. Therefore, when the inner frame body 30 is attached to the outer frame body 40 and the soil is replenished to the cultivation tool 50, the position of the hole of the inner frame hole 34 is the same as that of the outer frame hole 44. When the outer frame hole 44 and the inner frame hole 34 are matched, the lower edges 30a and 40a of the upper surface also match. Thereby, the water poured on the soil put in the flowerpot 60 main body can be made to flow into the cultivation tool 50 side. And before replenishing soil to the cultivation tool 50, by setting the outer frame hole 44 and the inner frame hole 34 so as not to coincide with each other, as shown in FIG. A wall is made to prevent the inflow of water when watering, and also prevent the soil in the flowerpot 60 main body and moisture in the soil from flowing into the cultivation tool 50 side. In addition, when the shape of the cultivation tool 50 is cylindrical, the inner frame body 30 rotates in the outer frame body 40, and the positions of the outer frame hole 44 and the inner frame hole 34 can be shifted.
