PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plant management apparatus intended for promoting appropriate cultivation management through informing a user of a cultivation condition according to a raising environment of every plant.SOLUTION: This plant management apparatus 1a has a temperature detecting part 16, a humidity detecting part 17, and an illumination detecting part 18 which detect each kind of a detected value indicating the peripheral environment of a plant, a first memory part 11 which memorizes each kind of a detected value detected from the temperature detecting part 16, humidity detecting part 17, and illumination detecting part 18, and a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 10 which discriminates existence or nonexistence of abnormality in the cultivation condition of a plant and a problem tendency, based on each kind of a detected value detected from the temperature detecting part 16, humidity detecting part 17, and illumination detecting part 18, and previously fixed discrimination standard information. Furthermore, the apparatus has an indicating lamp 14 which informs the cultivation condition of a plant according to the discriminated result of the cultivation condition of a plant with the CPU 10, a rumbling part 15, and a first communication part 12 which sends each kind of a detected value memorized in the first memory part 11 to an external apparatus 2a, according to power supply generated by inductive electromagnetic field or electric wave supplied from the external apparatus 2a.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】植物毎の生育環境に応じた栽培状態をユーザに対して報知して適切な栽培管理を促すこと。【解決手段】 植物の周辺環境の状態を示す各種検出値を検出する温度検出部16、湿度検出部17、照度検出部18と、温度検出部16、湿度検出部17、照度検出部18により検出された各種検出値を記憶する第1記憶部11と、温度検出部16、湿度検出部17、照度検出部18により検出された各種検出値と予め定められた判別基準情報とに基づいて、植物の栽培状態の異常の有無や問題傾向を判別するCPU10と、CPU10による植物の栽培状態の判別結果に応じて、植物の栽培状態を報知する表示灯14、鳴動部15と、外部装置2aから供給される誘導電磁界又は電波により生じる電力供給に応じて第1記憶部11に記憶されている各種検出値を当該外部装置2aに送信する第1通信部12と、を備える植物管理装置1a。【選択図】図1
