Abstract
The present description relates to a plant cutting device for cutting or cloning a plant, and housing the plant for growth. The plant cutting device generally comprises two compartments that are operatively connected together and displaceable from an open position to a closed position defining an enclosure, a cutter mounted within at least one of the compartments and configured to cut a plant part when the first and second compartments are displaced to the closed position, a cut end of the plant part being accommodated within the enclosure; and a growth medium disposed in the first compartment and/or the second compartment for contacting the cut end of the plant part allowing for the growth of the plant.
Claims20
A plant cutting, planting, and cloning device, the device comprising:
- first and second compartments that are operatively connected together and displaceable from an open position to a closed position defining an enclosure, wherein each of the first and second compartments comprises a bottom portion, a top portion, and sidewalls extending between the top portion and the bottom portion, and wherein each of the sidewalls comprises at least one opening sized and configured for root propagation therethrough during plant cutting growth;
- a cutter mounted within at least one of the compartments and configured to cut a plant part to completely separate it from the plant to produce a plant cutting having a cut end when the first and second compartments are displaced to the closed position, the cut end of the plant cutting being accommodated within the enclosure;
- and
- a growth medium disposed in the first compartment and/or the second compartment for contacting the cut end of the plant cutting and promoting growth of the plant cutting within the enclosure upon planting of the device and propagation of roots via the at least one opening in each of the sidewalls to produce a plant clone.
A plant cutting, planting, and cloning device, the device comprising:
- first and second support members that are hingedly connected together and displaceable from an open position to a closed position, wherein each of the first and second support members comprises a bottom portion, a top portion, and sidewalls extending between the top portion and the bottom portion, wherein the first and second support members are first and second compartments, respectively, which define an enclosure in the closed position, and wherein each of the sidewalls comprises at least one opening sized and configured for root propagation therethrough during plant cutting growth;
- a cutter mounted to at least one of the support members and configured to cut a plant part to completely separate it from the plant when the first and second support members are displaced to the closed position to produce a plant cutting having a cut end;
- securing members mounted to the first and second support members and being configured to secure the plant cutting;
- and
- a growth medium mounted to at least one of the support members for contacting the cut end of the plant cutting and promoting growth of the plant cutting within the enclosure upon planting of the device and propagation of roots via the at least one opening in each of the sidewalls to produce a plant clone.
A plant cutting, planting, and cloning device, the device comprising:
- first and second compartments, wherein said first and second compartments define an enclosure when coupled together, wherein each of the first and second compartments comprises a bottom portion, a top portion, and sidewalls extending between the top portion and the bottom portion, and wherein each of the sidewalls comprises at least one opening sized and configured for root propagation therethrough during plant cutting growth;
- and
- a cutter mounted within the first compartment and configured to cut a plant part to completely separate it from the plant to produce a plant cutting having a cut end when the first and second compartments are coupled together, such that a cut end of the plant cutting is accommodated, held, and grown within the enclosure upon planting of the device and propagation of roots via the at least one opening in each of the sidewalls is promoted to produce a plant clone.
