PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cultivation container for ornamental plants structured so that through holes communicating with the inside and the outside of a cultivation container can be flexibly opened or closed in accordance with the growth stage of the plant or the use environment of the container so as to enable favorable growth of seedlings and easy transplantation thereof.SOLUTION: The cultivation container 1 for ornamental plants P includes: a container body 2 which is formed into a bottomed cylindrical state and at the side face of which through-holes 8 are formed and a cover member 3 formed so as to enable the openings of the through-holes 8 to be closed. Relative displacement of the cover member 3 with respect to the container body 2 results in switching the openings of the through-holes 8 into the open state where the through-holes 8 are opened outward to take nutrients into the inside of the container body 2, from a closed state where the openings of the through-holes 8 are closed with the cover member 3.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】 鑑賞植物の栽培容器において、栽培容器の内外に連通する貫通穴を生育段階や使用環境に合わせて自由に開放又は閉鎖できるようにして、良好な苗木の生育と簡便な植え替えとを可能にする。【解決手段】本発明の鑑賞植物Pの栽培容器1は、有底筒状に形成されると共に側面に貫通穴8が形成された容器本体2と、貫通穴8の開口を閉鎖可能に形成されたカバー部材3とを備え、カバー部材3を容器本体2に対して相対移動させることで、貫通穴8の開口がカバー部材3によって閉鎖された閉鎖状態から、貫通穴8が外側に向かって開口して容器本体2の内部に栄養分を取り込むことが可能となる開放状態に切り替わることを特徴とするものである。【選択図】図1
