Abstract

A plant arrangement for plants, in particular for pot plants with tendrillar shoots, comprises a base body surrounding an interior with at least one plant pot receptacle, a plant pot arranged in the at least one plant pot receptacle with a plant pot interior surrounded by the plant pot to receive a plant and a plant pot opening to insert the plant in the plant pot interior, at least one substantially vertically extending holding element, which is fastened to the base body, and at least one substantially horizontally extending climbing aid for the plant, wherein the at least one climbing aid has a spring unit, which can be transferred by actuation from a fastening position into a displacement position, wherein the at least one climbing aid is clamped on the holding element in the non-actuated fastening position of the spring unit, and wherein the at least one climbing aid can be displaced along the holding element in the actuated displacement position of the spring unit.

Claims (27)

1. A plant arrangement for plants, wherein the plant arrangement comprises

a. a base body surrounding an interior with at least one plant pot receptacle,

b. a plant pot arranged in the at least one plant pot receptacle with

i. a plant pot interior surrounded by the plant pot for receiving a plant and

ii. a plant pot opening for inserting the plant in the plant pot interior,

c. at least one substantially vertically extending holding element, which is fastened to the base body, and

d. at least one substantially horizontally extending climbing aid for the plant,

e. wherein the at least one climbing aid has a spring unit, which can be transferred by actuation from a fastening position into a displacement position,

f. wherein the at least one climbing aid is clamped on the holding element in the non-actuated fastening position of the spring unit, and

g. wherein the at least one climbing aid is displaceable along the holding element in the actuated displacement position of the spring unit.

2. A plant arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the spring unit comprises two spring elements each having an insertion opening, the insertion openings being arranged spaced apart from one another.

3. A plant arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the spring elements are connected to one another rigidly at their ends.

4. A plant arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the spring elements are connected to one another rigidly in one piece at their ends.

5. A plant arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the spring unit is elliptical.

6. A plant arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the spring unit is actuatable by pressing together of the spring elements.

7. A plant arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the spring unit is actuatable by resilient deformation of the spring elements.

8. A Plant arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the climbing aid has at least one clamping jaw, which has a clamping face, for clamping onto the holding element.

9. A plant arrangement according to claim 8 , wherein the clamping face rests on the holding element in the fastening position of the spring unit and is arranged spaced apart from the holding element in the displacement position.

10. A plant arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the climbing aid is steplessly height-adjustable on the holding element.

11. A plant arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the holding element is fastened to the base body in a clamping device.

12. A plant arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the base body has at least one separating web for separating two adjacent plant pot receptacles.

13. A plant arrangement according to claim 12 , comprising a guide hole in the separating web for guiding the holding element.

14. A plant arrangement according to claim 1 , comprising a tube as a holding element.

15. A plant arrangement according to claim 1 , comprising one of the group of a plurality of tube portions, which are connectable by a plug connection, and a telescopic tube.

16. A plant arrangement according to claim 1 , comprising a climbing aid, which comprises a plurality of climbing elements, which are connectable to one another.

17. A plant arrangement according to claim 1 , comprising a climbing aid, which comprises a plurality of climbing elements, which are connectable to one another by a latching connection.

18. A plant arrangement according to claim 1 , comprising three plant pots and holding elements respectively arranged between two adjacent plant pots.
