PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hanging hook for plant cultivation, hangable even to a transverse pipe thicker than a cord, keeping stems and fruits in the condition of being separated from a ridge or the ground, and free from damaging fruits when lowering a stem into a stem receiving part according to stem growth, and to provide a method for cultivating plants.SOLUTION: This hanging hook for plant cultivation has a U shape stem receiving part 1a, and a hanging hook part 1b consecutively installed on the one upper side of the U shape stem receiving part 1a. The hanging hook for plant cultivation is such that the inner opening of the hanging hook part 1b has a diameter bigger than that of a transverse pipe to hang to, a bar-like leg part 1c is consecutively installed on the lower side of the stem receiving part 1a, and a step part 1d to engage a stem with is formed on the end of the stem receiving part 1a. As a result of this, the hanging hook 1 is hangable to both a transverse cord and a transverse pipe, the hanging hook for plant cultivation is supported directly from the ground by inserting the leg part 1c into a vertical pipe put up on a ridge or the ground, and a harvesting rate is increased without damaging fruits by temporarily tacking an upper stem to the step part 1d.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】紐よりも太い横パイプにも掛けることができ、茎や実が畝や地面から離れた状態を保持でき、茎の生長に伴って茎を茎受け部内に下ろす際に、実を傷めない植物栽培用吊りフックおよび植物栽培方法を提供する。【解決手段】U状の茎受け部1aと、このU状の茎受け部1aの一方の上部に連設された吊り用フック部1bとを有する植物栽培用吊りフックにおいて、吊り用フック部1bの内部開口を、掛けるべき横パイプの径よりも大径とし、茎受け部1aの下部に、棒状の脚部1cを連設し、茎受け部1aの先端に茎を係止可能な段部1dを形成した植物栽培用吊りフック。これにより、横紐のみならず横パイプにも吊りフック1を掛けることができ、畝又は地面に立てた縦パイプに脚部1cを差し込むことで、植物栽培用吊りフックを地面から直接支持することができる。段部1dに上の茎を仮止めすることにより実を傷めることがなく、収穫率を上げることができる。【選択図】 図1
