PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plant cultivation tool which allows objective plants to be grown by a minimum amount of watering and water supply in a vertical plane or a relatively steep acclivity, using a water retaining plant growing body, and to provide a method for cultivating plants.SOLUTION: This plant cultivation tool is such that horizontal plate-like division parts F3 are protrusively provided forward from a back plate part F2, in five vertical direction positions at fixed intervals in the vertical direction of the back plate part F2 of a front shelf part F, an upward projecting part F4 is installed on the front end part of each of the plate-like division parts F3, and each of receiving parts F5 having the upward projecting part F4 on the front end part is installed on the bottom plate part of a front shelf external frame part F1. The plate-like division parts F3 and the receiving parts F5 each support upward the lower part of a water retaining plant growing body (A), and each upward projecting part F4 prevents forward removal of the water retaining plant growing body (A).COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】 保水性植物生育体を用いて垂直面又は比較的急傾斜の面において、最小限の量の灌水又は給水により、対象植物を生育することが可能な植物栽培用具及び植物栽培法を提供する。【解決手段】 前棚部Fの背板部F2の上下方向一定間隔おきの5つの上下方向位置において背板部F2から前方に向かって水平板状の区画部F3を突設する。各区画部F3の前端部に上方突起部F4を設ける。前棚外枠部F1の底板部に、前端部に上方突起部F4を有する受止部F5を設ける。区画部F3及び受止部F5は、それぞれ保水性植物生育体Aの下部を上向きに支持し、各上方突起部F4は保水性植物生育体Aの前方離脱を防止する。【選択図】 図5
