Device allowing the hydroponic (soilless) growing of indoor plants by intermittent watering of the roots in closed circuit

摘要

The device is particularly aimed at indoor plants. The invention consists of a vessel 12 inside which is fixed a stake 4 to which the stem 2 of the plant 1 is fastened. An electric pump 9 sends water through a hose 11 onto the roots 3 which are not submerged. A programmer 10 connected to the mains 8 allows intermittent watering. The water is maintained at constant temperature by virtue of a resistive heating element 7 connected to the mains 8. The water flowing over the roots falls back down into the vessel. Watering takes place in a closed circuit. The body 6 of the vessel may be manufactured from various materials. IMAGE
