PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plant cultivation body that can be manufactured relatively easily using a flexible water-retaining plant growing body to allow a vertical surface or a surface with a relatively large inclination angle to be planted with plants easily and reliably, and a group of plant cultivation bodies.SOLUTION: The plant cultivation body comprises a plant growing part J which comprises a water-retaining plant growing body Y wound into a cylindrical shape. A pot A made from peat or the like and having a root part I1 planted therein is directly fitted into a hole part J1 inside the cylindrical plant growing part J as the pot A, whereby the root part I1 of a subject plant I is positioned in the hole part J1, with leaves located axially outward of one end of the plant growing part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】可撓性の保水性植物生育体を用いて比較的容易に製造し得、垂直面又は傾斜角度が比較的大きな面の緑化を容易且つ確実に行うことができる植物栽培体及び植物栽培体群を提供する。【解決手段】植物栽培体は、保水性植物生育体Yが筒状に巻回されてなる植物生育部Jからなる。筒状の植物生育部Jの内側の空孔部J1に、泥炭等を材料としたポットAに根部I1が植えられているものをポットAのまま嵌合させることにより、空孔部J1に対象植物Iの根部I1を配置し、前記植物生育部の一方の端部の軸線方向外方に葉部を位置させる。【選択図】図2
