PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple method for keeping leaves shielding sunlight, away from buds or the root of a rootstock of cyclamen so that the sunlight is effectively applied to the buds and the root of the rootstock.SOLUTION: A support integral with a flange of downward circular arc shape under which stems of leaves that cover buds and the root of a rootstock of cyclamen can be easily put with a finger, is thrusted into pot soil to keep the leaves away from the buds and the root of the rootstock while putting, under the flange, the stems of the leaves shielding the buds and the root of the rootstock. Sunlight is thereby effectively applied to the buds and the root of the rootstock of cyclamen so that flowering of cyclamen is promoted.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】 本発明の目的は、シクラメンの蕾や株の根元に効果的に日光を当てるため日光を遮る葉を蕾や株の根元から遠ざける簡易な方法を提供することにある。【解決手段】 本発明は、シクラメンの蕾や株の根元を覆う葉の茎を指で簡単に掛けることができる下向きに円弧状の形状をした鍔と一体となった支柱を鉢土に刺し、鍔の下に蕾や株の根元を遮蔽している葉の茎を掛けながら葉を蕾や株の根元から遠ざけることでシクラメンの蕾や株の根元に効果的に日光を当てシクラメンの開花を促進することを可能にする。【選択図】図1
