PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an artificial soil media adjustment method that facilitates management of watering on a foliage plant.SOLUTION: An artificial soil media adjustment method adjusts the water content environment of artificial soil media for use in cultivation of a foliage plant to one suitable for cultivation of the foliage plant. As the artificial soil media, artificial soil particles are used which comprise a fiber lumpy body formed by putting together fibers. The method conducts an adjustment step of adjusting the volume moisture content of the artificial soil media to fall within 10-40% at pF value 2.3, 1-15% at pF value 2.7.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】観葉植物の灌水の管理を容易にする人工土壌培地の調整方法を提供する。【解決手段】観葉植物の栽培に使用する人工土壌培地を、当該観葉植物の栽培に適した水分環境に調整する人工土壌培地の調整方法であって、人工土壌培地として、繊維を集合してなる繊維塊状体を備える人工土壌粒子を使用し、人工土壌培地の体積含水率を、pF値2.3において10~40%の範囲、pF値2.7において1~15%の範囲となるように調整する調整工程を実行する。【選択図】図3
