PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To fabricate a cultivation container easily and inexpensively and cultivate a plant efficiently.SOLUTION: A cultivation container 3 is inserted into a through-hole 2 of a plate 1 arranged on nutritious liquid 4, and roots 5 of a plant arranged inside the container is allowed to grow into the nutritious liquid 4, and is fabricated by cutting water resistant sheet having flexibility into a predetermined shape. The cultivation container has: a body part 3A which is transformed into a container shape inside the through-hole 2 and engaging parts 3B which are engaged on a top surface of the plate 1 in the state where the body part 3A is inserted into the through-hole 2. The body part 3A comprises a plurality of folding pieces 7 connected via a folding line 6 arranged on a bottom part of the through-hole 2, and has a shape that passage gaps 8 of the roots 5 through which the roots 5 of the growing plant are allowed to pass are provided between adjacent folding pieces 7. The body part 3A is inserted into the through-hole 2 of the plate 1, the folding pieces 7 is transformed into a container shape inside the through-hole 2, the engaging parts 3B are engaged on the top surface of the plate 1 in this state, and the body part 3A is arranged so as not to drop inside the through-hole 2.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡単に、しかも安価に栽培容器を製作して植物を能率よく栽培する。【解決手段】栽培容器3は、養液4の上に配置されるプレート1の貫通孔2に挿入されて、内部に配置される植物の根5を養液4に成長させるもので、可撓性のある耐水シートを所定の形状に裁断して製作される。栽培容器は、貫通孔2の内側で容器形状に変形する本体部3Aと、本体部3Aを貫通孔2に挿入する状態で、プレート1の上面に係止される係止部3Bとを有する。本体部3Aは、貫通孔2の底部に配置される折曲ライン6を介して連結している複数の折曲片7を備え、隣接する折曲片7の間に、生育する植物の根5を通過させる根5の通過隙間8を設ける形状としている。本体部3Aがプレート1の貫通孔2に挿入されて、貫通孔2の内部で折曲片7が容器形状に変形され、この状態で係止部3Bをプレート1の上面に係止して、本体部3Aを貫通孔2の内部に落下しないように配置する。【選択図】図3
