Patent Description:
A plant or a seed are sown in a typical plant container, and the sown plant or seed absorb nutrients and water, which are supplied to the plant container, to be grown.

For example, <CIT> entitled "Plant cultivating container" discloses a body, which includes a plurality of partitions to form a plurality of cultivation spaces, and a cover to cover one surface, which is open, of the body.

According to the related art, although a plurality of plants are sown in the plurality of cultivation spaces, it is difficult to adjust an amount of plants, which are able to be sown in one cultivation space, by considering the growth of the plants. In addition, when the plants are sown in an amount exceeding the limit of the one cultivation space, the sown plants may not be correctly grown.

In addition, although the plurality of plants are able to be sown in the plurality of cultivation spaces, the cover has to be separated from the body to sow the plant, and be reassembled after the plants are sown. In addition, a tool to saw seeds has to be additionally used in a process of sawing seeds of a plant in soil provided in the plurality of cultivation spaces, and, when the seeds are placed in soil, which is not desired by a user, the position of the seeds has to be moved, which bothers the user. <CIT> relates to a plant cultivation kit.

The present disclosure is to provide a plant container capable of adjusting arrangement spacing between seeds by considering the growth of a plant.

The present disclosure is to provide a plant container capable of easily adjusting the arrangement spacing between seeds to correspond to various plants.

The guide opening includes: a first opening formed, as a portion of the guide cover is open; a cover inclined surface extending to be inclined downward from the first opening; and a second opening disposed in a lower end of the cover inclined surface and formed to have a diameter less than a diameter of the first opening. Openings may be formed in the medium, the guide cover, and the insertion cover to communicate with each other in a vertical direction, such that a seed is easily inserted into the container.

According to the present disclosure, in the plant container, an opening may be formed, in equal number, in a medium and a guide cover, and the number of an opening provided in the insertion cover may be adjusted, such that the arrangement spacing between mutually different seeds, which are able to be inserted into the container, may be adjusted.

According to the present disclosure, in the state that the container is covered by the guide cover and the insertion cover, seeds may be easily inserted into the medium disposed inside the container.

According to the present disclosure, in the state that the container is covered by the guide cover and the insertion cover, the arrangement spacing between seeds may be adjusted.

According to the present disclosure, the nutrients of the medium may be uniformly supplied to mutually different seeds by adjusting the arrangement spacing between the seeds.

According to the present disclosure, in the state that the guide cover covers the container, various insertion covers having mutually different openings may be seated in the guide cover, such that the arrangement spacing between the seeds may be adjusted.

According to the present disclosure, in the state that the container is covered by the guide cover and the insertion cover, the optical energy may be supplied only to the seeds seated in the medium to prevent weeds from being grown from the rest of the medium.
