Since the heater 4 for plant synthesis of the present invention only needs to be inserted into the soil 2, the flowerpot 1 that has been used since the summer can be used as is, so the heating operation is simple as described above, and it is not necessary to attach a heater as in the past. There is no need to repot it into a flower pot. or,
Just by energizing the nichrome wire heater 10 housed in the hollow rod-shaped insert member 9, the nichrome wire heater 10 is energized only when the room temperature drops below a predetermined temperature, so it consumes less power and is more economical than a conventional flower pot with a heater. It is. Moreover, since the insertion member 9 is inserted closer to the roots of the ornamental plant 3, it is possible to efficiently heat the ornamental plant 3 with less electric heating energy.

A modification of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. In both figures, the plant growth heater 23 has a pair of insertion members 25a and 25b extending parallel to the handle 24. Nichrome wire heaters (not shown) are inserted into the insert members 25a and 25b as in the above embodiment. Since this heater 23 for growing plants has a pair of insertion members 25a and 25b, it is suitable for use in areas where the temperature drops significantly at night.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the heater for growing plants according to the present invention can efficiently heat the roots of plants by simply inserting the plug-in member with a built-in electric heating member into the soil in which the plants are planted, and can protect plants that are sensitive to cold. You can easily take measures to survive the winter. Furthermore, the size of the flowerpot or container in which the plant is planted can be accommodated by increasing the number of heaters, and power consumption is also reduced because only the roots are heated, rather than the entire flowerpot.

In addition, the control device for the heater for growing plants only energizes the electric heating member when the temperature of the place where the plant is planted falls below a predetermined temperature, so it does not energize the electric heating member during the day when the temperature is relatively high. Since the roots of plants can be automatically heated only when the temperature is low, it has the advantage of saving power consumption and being economical.
