PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plant cultivation container for improving space using efficiency in the case of cultivating plants using a cultivation method for progressing growth and development by superposing containers on each other.SOLUTION: This plant cultivation container (for instance, flowerpot 10) to be used for cultivating plants is formed by a sidewall part 11 and a bottom wall part 21, and has a circularly opened upper surface. A plurality of holes 22 are formed in the bottom wall part 21, and the sidewall part 11 is formed by a plurality of recessed parts 12 recessed inwardly gradually largely from the upper side of the container to the lower side, and an unrecessed part excluding the recessed parts 12. The plurality of the recessed parts 12 each form an opening space 25 above the upper surface of the other container when superposing on the upper side of the other container of the same shape (for instance, flowerpot 10 of the same shape).COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】容器を重ね合わせて生育を進行させる栽培方法を用いて植物の栽培を行う場合に、空間利用効率を向上させることができるようにすることを目的とする。【解決手段】側壁部11と底壁部21とによって形成され、上面が円形に開口した植物の栽培に用いる植物栽培用容器(例えば植木鉢10)であって、底壁部21に複数の孔22が形成され、側壁部11は、容器の上側から下側に向けて徐々に大きく内側に凹む複数の凹部12と、凹部12以外の非凹部とによって形成され、複数の凹部12は、それぞれ、同形の他の容器(例えば同形の植木鉢10)の上側に重ねられたときに他の容器の上面の上方に開口空間25を形成することを特徴とする。【選択図】図3
