摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method and container for the cultivation of ornamental plants, facilitating the application of the method of drought stress to reduce cell elongation of plants grown in a slowly absorbing material such as peat moss without the use of chemical retarding agents. The invention thus discloses a container for the cultivation of plants comprising a layered structure incorporating a rapidly liquid absorbing reservoir and a body of suitable cultivation substrate. According to an advantageous embodiment a layer is furthermore inserted between said reservoir and said cultivation substrate in order to obtain a controlled flow of liquid from said reservoir to said cultivation substrate.
