Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a planting stand used for planting aerial root plants such as wind orchids and long-lived orchids, and particularly relates to a method for manufacturing a planting stand that is strong even with short-sized sphagnum moss. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an aerial root plant planting stand, which yields a planting stand.

``Prior art'' Conventionally, when replanting aerial root plants that are extremely sensitive to excessive moisture, such as wind orchids or long-lived orchids, the outer periphery of a bamboo tube 1 in the form of a canopy is used as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. A planting stand 3 is formed by arranging a long length of high-quality sphagnum moss 2 on the surface and the upper end surface, and then an aerial root plant 4 is placed on this as shown in FIG. 10, and its roots 4a are placed as shown in FIG. 11. As shown in FIG.
A method is adopted in which the bamboo tube 1 is fixed with long sphagnum moss 6 wrapped around the top of the planting stand 3, and then the bamboo tube 1 is pulled out as shown in FIG. 13 and placed in the pot 7 as shown in FIG. It's on.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" By the way, in the conventional method described above, since the planting base 3 is formed using long-sized good quality sphagnum moss 2, there is a problem that the production cost is high, and Since the conventional planting base 3 is only shaped by placing sphagnum moss 2 on the bamboo tube 1 and is not dried and shaped, it tends to lose its shape when the bamboo tube 1 is pulled out, and the planting base 3 contains too much water. However, there is a problem in that aerial root plants 4 are susceptible to root rot.

The present invention has been made in view of the current situation, and provides a method for manufacturing an aerial root plant planting stand that can manufacture a strong planting stand using inexpensive short-sized sphagnum moss and is free from the risk of root rot of the aerial root plant. The purpose is to

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The present invention involves arranging sphagnum moss on the outer cover with a substantially uniform thickness, and then wrapping the outer cover around a water-permeable inner cylinder with the sphagnum moss on the inside. At the same time as attaching moss to the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder, the portion of the sphagnum moss protruding from the upper end of the inner cylinder is bent inward to cover the upper end of the inner cylinder with sphagnum moss.
After that, the outer cover is removed, the sphagnum moss is dried, and then the inner cylinder is pulled out to form a cylindrical planting base.

"Function" In the method for manufacturing an aerial root plant planting stand according to the present invention, an outer covering in which sphagnum moss is distributed at an approximately even thickness is wrapped around a water-permeable inner cylinder with the sphagnum moss on the inside. The sphagnum moss is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder, and the part of the sphagnum moss that protrudes from the upper end of the inner cylinder is bent inward to cover the upper end of the inner cylinder with sphagnum moss, and then the outer cover is removed.
After drying the sphagnum moss, the inner cylinder is pulled out to create a cylindrical planting stand, so the planting stand is formed and dried with a thin layer of sphagnum moss wrapped around the inner cylinder. . For this reason, the sphagnum moss intertwines with each other to provide sufficient strength, and even when using short sphagnum moss as well as long sphagnum moss, the implant base will not lose its shape when the inner cylinder is pulled out. There are no problems. Furthermore, since sphagnum moss is dry, a planting stand with low water content can be obtained, unlike conventional ones, and aerial root plants will not suffer from root rot.

"Example" An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

When manufacturing an aerial root plant planting stand, the first step is to
As shown in the figure, a wrapper-shaped outer cover 11 is formed by, for example, weaving a large number of bamboo strips 11a with thin strings 11b.
is prepared, and short pieces of sphagnum moss 12 soaked in water are placed thereon with approximately equal thickness as shown in FIG. At this time, the sphagnum moss 12 is aligned in the direction of its roots and the outer cover 1 is
Alternatively, a predetermined amount of the sphagnum moss 12 lifted from the water may be placed in a chevron shape on the outer sheath 11 and spread almost evenly by hand.
It is preferable that the directions of the roots are not aligned because a entangling effect can be obtained.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, a water-permeable inner cylinder 13 is placed on the sphagnum moss 12 which is arranged on the outer cover 11 with a substantially uniform thickness. The inner cylinder 13 is formed of, for example, a plastic mesh cylinder material or one having a large number of through holes, and its upper end may be closed with the same material as the surrounding surface. It may be open as shown in FIG. And this inner cylinder 1
3 is placed on the sphagnum moss 12 in a state that it is lowered from the upper edge of the jacket 11 by a dimension L2 that is slightly shorter than its outer diameter L1, as shown in FIG. Note that the dimension L
2 does not need to be very accurate, and when closing the upper end of the inner cylinder 13 by bending the portion of the sphagnum moss 12 that protrudes upward from the upper end of the inner cylinder 13 inward, as will be described in detail later. Any size is sufficient as long as the upper end of the tube 13 can be closed without any trouble.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the outer cover 11 is wrapped around the inner cylinder 13 with the sphagnum moss 12 on the inside. At this time, if the outer sheath 11 is simply wrapped around the inner cylinder 13, the outer sheath 11
Since the sphagnum moss 12 and the sphagnum moss 12 are wound in a spiral around the inner tube 13, just like when making a nori roll using a winding basket, one roll of the sphagnum 12 is wrapped around the inner tube 13 and the end of the outer sheath 11 is wrapped around the inner tube 13. When the sphagnum moss 12 is about to be wrapped around the inner cylinder 13, the end of the outer cover 11 is lifted so that only the sphagnum moss 12 is spirally wound around the inner cylinder 13.

If the sphagnum moss 12 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 13 in this way, the sphagnum moss 12 will be attached to the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 13 as shown in FIG.
The upper end of the inner cylinder 13 is closed by bending the portion projecting upward from the upper end of the inner cylinder 13, and then the outer cover 11 is removed. Then, as shown in Fig. 6, the inner cylinder 1
The outer peripheral surface and upper end of 3 are covered with sphagnum moss 12. Let the sphagnum moss dry in this state. Then, the inner cylinder 13 is pulled out. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, an implant base 14 having a cylindrical shape is obtained.

Since the thin layer of sphagnum moss 12 is spirally wound around the inner cylinder 13 to obtain the implantation base 14, the sphagnum moss 12 wound around the inner cylinder 13 become entangled with each other and are dried and molded. The state is fixed. Therefore, there is no risk that the implantation base 14 will lose its shape when the inner tube 13 is pulled out. Moreover, since the sphagnum moss is dried, if aerial root plants are replanted using this planting stand 14, there is no risk of root rot. In addition, the short-sized sphagnum moss 12, which had previously been discarded as having no use, was used to create a planting base 1.
4, it is possible to significantly reduce costs, and the amount of waste can be significantly reduced, which has a great practical effect.

In addition, when drying in the state shown in FIG. 6, the inner cylinder 13 will be pulled out after drying, but since the inner cylinder 13 is formed of a net material, the sphagnum moss 1 inside will be removed.
2 can be sufficiently dried, and since the inner cylinder 13 is pulled out after drying, the deformation of the implant base 14 can be more reliably prevented.

``Effects of the Invention'' As explained above, the present invention wraps an outer cover in which sphagnum moss is distributed at a substantially uniform thickness around a water-permeable inner cylinder with the sphagnum moss on the inside. At the same time, the part of the sphagnum moss that protrudes from the upper end of the inner cylinder is bent inward to cover the upper end of the inner cylinder with sphagnum moss.
After that, the outer cover is removed and the inner cylinder is pulled out to create a cylindrical implantation base.The implantation base is formed by wrapping a thin layer of sphagnum moss around the inner cylinder in a predetermined number of turns. You can get the effect of mutual entanglement of moss,
Sufficient strength can be obtained even when using short-sized sphagnum moss that normally has no commercial value. Therefore, when the inner tube is pulled out or when an aerial root plant is replanted using the completed planting stand, there is no fear that the planting stand will lose its shape.

In addition, the water content of sphagnum moss is dried during the process of manufacturing the planting bed, so a planting bed with very low water content can be obtained. Even if you cover them with sphagnum moss and repot them, aerial root plants will not suffer from root rot.
