PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water culture medium which can prevent light from irradiating an underground part of a plant body in a water culture of the plant body with a plurality of stems, and a water culture device.SOLUTION: A water culture medium 1 comprises: a wall surface component 9 formed in a cylindrical shape; and a bottom surface component 7 constructed by a plurality of frame-like components 70 which respectively include discontinuous components 8a and are similar shaped to each other, or a swirl-like component. The water culture medium 1 includes a plurality of longitudinal components 10, 11 in which fixing members 10a, 10b, 11a, 11b at both ends thereof are respectively mounted to a member to be fixed 9a of the wall surface component 9 so as to support the bottom surface component 7. The water culture medium 1 includes a group of light-shielding solid bodies 3 spread over a vessel shaped structure 30 which is formed by the wall surface component 9 and the bottom surface component 7.【課題】複数の茎を有している植物体の水耕栽培において光が植物体の地下部へ照射されることを防止することができる水耕栽培用培地および水耕栽培装置を提供する。【解決手段】水耕栽培用培地1は、筒形状を有する壁面部9と、それぞれが不連続部8aを有している互いに相似形である複数の枠状部材70、または、渦巻き状部材によって構成された底面部7とを備えている。また、水耕栽培用培地1は、底面部7を支持するように、それぞれの両端の固定部10a,10b,11a,11bが壁面部9の被固定部9aに取り付けられた複数の長手部材10,11を備えている。水耕栽培用培地1は、壁面部9と底面部7とによって形成された容器状の構造体30内に敷き詰められた一群の遮光性固体3を備えている。【選択図】図1
