Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a flowerpot for growing various flowers or plants therein.

[Prior Art] A conventional flower pot is merely an upwardly expanding container having a drain hole at the center of the bottom.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Generally, in the process of growing flowers, roots that have caused root rot or have withered are removed as necessary, or old soil is removed, and appropriate fertilizer is applied. It will be necessary to add additional soil. However, when the above-mentioned flowers and plants are grown in the above-mentioned conventional flower pots, it is difficult to carry out such work when they are left in the pots. Therefore, for the above-mentioned flowers, the roots of the plants should be taken out from the pot completely with the soil attached, and then the outer dead roots and old soil should be removed. Work such as filling is done. However, in the case of unskilled people, when removing the dead roots and old soil, other roots may be shredded or damaged, which may cause the flowers to die. is there.

The present invention aims to solve such problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The gist of the present invention is that a bottom part of a bowl main body is provided with a water drainage hole in the center thereof, and a bottom part is provided at a position along the peripheral wall of the bowl main body. A plurality of arcuate notches that are divided by a plurality of joints that join the peripheral wall are formed, and a net-shaped rooting guide body is erected from the center side edge of each arcuate notch, and each root cutting guide This is a flower pot in which both side ends of the body and the peripheral wall are connected by partition walls, and a detachable lid is arranged in each of the arcuate notches.

The bowl main body and the above-mentioned other elements configured therein, that is,
The root cutting guide body, the partition plate, and the lid body can be formed of various materials. For example, it can be molded from plastics. In this case, it is suitable to integrally mold except for the lid.

The water drainage hole is exactly the same as the conventional one.

The number of arcuate notches can be freely determined. The width can be variously configured according to the size of the bowl body. However, it is determined from the viewpoint of cutting off the root that has come out from the mesh of the root-cutting guide body that has stood up from the center side edge.

It is preferable that the joint portion has a width as narrow as possible in terms of strength.

The root cutting guide body and the partition plate have the same height, and both are configured to be slightly lower than the height of the peripheral wall of the bowl body. The partition plate may be configured like a net like the root cutting guide.

The lid is not limited to a particular configuration except that it is removable.

[Operation] The flowerpot of the present invention is used almost in the same manner as the conventional one.
It is important to note that plants should be planted inside the root cutting guide. However, if handled normally, the flowers will almost always be planted inside the root cutting guide. The soil is filled both inside and outside the root cutting guide.

In the process of growing flowers, when it is necessary to remove dead roots and old soil, a knife about the depth of the pot, by moving along the outer surface of the root cutting guide, It is possible to excise the roots that extend outward from the mesh. Before and after this operation, the lid body set in the arcuate notch is removed to remove the soil between the root cutting guide body and the peripheral wall and the excised root.

In this way, the root extending to the outside of the root cutting guide is removed, and old soil can also be removed. In any case, unnecessary removal cannot be performed due to the limiting action of the root cutting guide body.

After that, the lid is set again in the arcuate notch, and appropriate soil and fertilizer are filled between the root cutting guide and the peripheral wall, and this work is completed.

Therefore, even an inexperienced person does not have to carelessly cut off the important roots, and can grow up important flowers without dying.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a drain hole 3 having a slightly raised edge is opened in the center of the bottom 2 of the bowl body 1, and at a position along the peripheral wall 4 of the bowl body 1. , Four arcuate notches 5, 5 ... Are formed with a slight gap between the ends. The gaps between the ends of the arcuate notches 5, 5, ... Are connecting plate portions 6, 6 for connecting the central side of the bottom 2 and the peripheral wall 4.
It is ...

A net-shaped root cutting guide body 7 is erected from the central side edge of each of the arcuate notches 5, 5, ... And both side ends of each of the root cutting guide bodies 7, 7 ... Connect with 8 and 8. The upper ends of the root cutting guides 7, 7, ... Are made slightly lower than the upper ends of the peripheral walls 4 of the bowl body 1. The partition plates 8, 8 ... Also have the same height as the root cutting guides 7, 7.

In addition, the arcuate notches 5, 5, ... Are detachably provided with arcuate plate-like lids 9, 9 ... Which can be opened and closed. As shown in FIG. 1, the arcuate notches 5, 5, ...
... slits 10, 10 for inserting lids 9, 9 ... Are formed in the peripheral wall 4 at positions corresponding to and engaging grooves are formed at the ends of the bottom portion 2 corresponding to the inner edges of the arcuate notches 5, 5 ,. 11 are formed, and the lids 9, 9 ...
, And the inner ends thereof are inserted into the engaging grooves 11, 11 ... so that the arcuate notches 5, 5, ... Can be closed.

The bowl main body 1 and the above-mentioned other elements constituting the bowl main body 1 are made of plastic. Except for the lids 9, 9, ..., They are integrally molded.

The flower pot of this embodiment can be used almost in the same manner as a conventional general flower pot, except that it has a special use described later.

First, it is necessary to plant the flowers 12 inside the root cutting guides 7, 7 ... As shown in FIG. However, if it is used in the usual way, it will be planted in the above position due to its size. Soil is root cutting guide 7,7
Fill both inside and outside.

When it is necessary to remove dead roots and old soil of the above-mentioned plants 12 due to the lapse of the growing period, a blade is used with a knife whose length is about the depth of the pot body 1 and the root cutting is performed. By moving along the outer surface side of the guide bodies 7, 7, ...
It is possible to excise the roots that extend outward from the mesh.
Before or after this operation, the lid bodies 9, 9 ... Set to close the arcuate notches 5, 5, ... Are pulled out, and the root cutting guide bodies 7, 7 ... Remove soil and excised roots in between.

In this way, the root extending to the outside of the root cutting guides 7, 7 ... Is removed and old soil can also be removed. In any case, unnecessary removal cannot be performed due to the limiting action of the root cutting guides 7, 7 .... Therefore, there is no fear that the flowering plants 12 will be dead by cutting off the roots more than necessary.

After that, the lids 9, 9 ... Are set in the arcuate notches 5, 5, ... And new soil and appropriate fertilizer are filled between the peripheral wall 4 and the root cutting guides 7, 7.

[Effect of the Invention] According to the present invention, when removing dead roots and old soil of flowers, it is not necessary to take out the flowers from the flowerpot for each root, and the knife is moved along the root cutting guide body. Then, the soil between the root cutting guide and the peripheral wall may be removed, so that even an unskilled person may not carelessly cut off the important root. Therefore, it is possible to grow important plants without dying.
