Provided are a cultivation apparatus and a cultivation system, whereby it becomes possible to manage a fertilizer and water supply easily.The cultivation apparatus 1 according to the present invention is provided with: a liquid culture medium storage vessel 10, of which the upper surface is opened and in which a liquid culture medium can be stored a culture medium holding vessel 40, which is connected to the liquid culture medium storage vessel 10 so as to cover the opened upper surface of the liquid culture medium storage vessel 10 and in which a culture medium can be contained a sprinkling line 31 for sprinkling the liquid culture medium stored in the liquid culture medium storage vessel 10 onto the culture medium holding vessel 40 and a liquid feeding pump 30 for feeding the liquid culture medium to the sprinkling line 31. According to the present invention, the liquid culture medium can be fed automatically by means of the liquid feeding pump 30, and therefore the feeding of the liquid culture medium can be achieved easily. The bottom 44 of the culture medium holding vessel 40 is inclined, and therefore an unabsorbed liquid culture medium can flow on the bottom surface and can flow out into the liquid culture medium storage vessel 10 through a posteriorly located drain outlet 43. The sprinkled liquid culture medium can flow on the bottom surface until the liquid culture medium reaches the drain outlet 43, and therefore the liquid culture medium can be held for a certain period of time, and the liquid culture medium can penetrate sufficiently into a culture medium 46.
