The present invention provides a cultivation system and a method for controlling the illuminance of the cultivation system. In the cultivation system of cultivated plants, the illuminance can be controlled to a more appropriate degree according to the state of the cultivated plants. The cultivation system includes: a sap flu detector (7), which measures the sap flow rate of the plants (2) cultivated in the house (3); a shading curtain (5), shields the sun (4) from entering the house (3) The optical path of the light inside; and a control device that controls the opening of the shade (5) based on the sap flow rate.本發明提供一種栽培系統以及栽培系統的照度控制方法,在栽培植物的栽培系統中,可根據所栽培的植物的狀態來控制為更適當的照度。栽培系統包括:樹液流感測器(7),對在房屋(3)內所栽培的植物(2)的樹液流速進行測定;遮光簾(5),遮擋從太陽(4)入射至房屋(3)內的光的光路;以及控制裝置,基於樹液流速來控制遮光簾(5)的開度。
