By using the water-absorbing cloth 3 instead of a medium with many problems such as filling and exchanging a lot of work and costs, a vertical cultivation apparatus is provided that reduces costs and increases cultivation efficiency and workability. A vertical cylinder 1 having a plurality of planting holes 2 on the outer periphery is used as a cultivation tank, and a water-absorbing cloth 3 having a length that is the distance above and below the planting hole 2 is suspended from the hole 2 into the cylinder 1. By fixing the water-absorbing cloth 3 to each hole with an elastic plug 10, a configuration in which a conventionally problematic medium is not used is used.充填と交換に多くの手数と費用がかかる等の問題の多い培地の代りに吸水用の布3を用いることによって、コストを下げて、栽培効率と作業能を高める垂直栽培装置を提供する。外周に複数の植物の植え込み孔2を開けた垂直な円筒1を栽培槽とし、植え込み孔2の上下の距離の長さの寸法の吸水用の布3を植え込み孔2から円筒1の内部に垂らし、吸水用の布3を弾性体の栓10によって各孔に固定することによって、従来使用していた問題の多い培地を用いない構成にした。
