<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for keeping cut plants grown for a long time by supplying circulating water to the cut end of the cut plants. ??<P>SOLUTION: The apparatus for growing plants includes a multiple number of the plant inserting parts 8 arranged in the space for placing plants on the holding base 11, in which the circulating water supply pipe 5 and the circulating water exhaust pipe 6 are connected to each plant insertion part 8. The chamber for circulating water distribution 8-5 is formed in each plant insertion part 8 and the circulating water supply pipe 5 and the circulating water exhaust pipe 6 are connected to the chamber. Nutrient water circulation passages are composed on the holding base 11 and nutrient water in the nutrient water supply tank 36 circulates along the nutrient water circulation passages by a nutrient water circulation driving means. The nutrient water circulates through the chamber for circulating water distribution 8-5 of the plant insertion part 8. Cut plants are inserted from the opening 57 of the plant insertion part 8 to the chamber for circulating water distribution 8-5. ??<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT ??
