  At this time, the size of the opening region of the window portion 101 is adjusted by the closing plate 12 which is a closing element, so that the exposure and leakage of the culture medium are suppressed. In addition, the medium may be put various mediums as they are, and by pushing a sheet-like sponge, net, etc. into the inside of the window part, the exposure and leakage of the medium may be further suppressed, A mode in which only the above-ground part P of the plant is exposed is put in a planter, and the above-ground part P of the plant is exposed from the window portion 101.

  In addition, water is supplied to the medium stored in the planter 1 through the upper liquid inlet / outlet 114 provided in the planter 1. Water that exceeds the water retention capacity of the culture medium is discharged as drainage through the liquid inlet / outlet 114 on the lower side.

  FIG.4 (b) has shown the aspect which used the planter 1 horizontally, and similarly exposes the ground part P of the plant planted from the window part 101 outside.

  Further, in the case of horizontal installation, the liquid inlet / outlet 114 provided in the planter 1 is supplied to the medium stored in the planter 1 through the upper one, and the drainage is discharged through the liquid inlet / outlet 114 located below. The

  Note that the planter 1 can also be used in connection with other planters as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. In this case, each planter 1 is connected to the liquid inlet / outlet port 114 so as to be able to pass water through a water supply path and a drainage path by a tube body 14 such as a hose.

  In FIG. 5, the water supplied to the planter 1 positioned above is sequentially supplied to the planter 1 positioned below as drainage.

  In FIG. 6, the aspect which installed the two planters 1 connected to the fence F which is an exterior is shown. Thus, the planter 1 can be installed not only on the wall surface but also on a frame or a net-like fence. In FIG. 6, the water supplied to either the left or right planter 1 is supplied to the other planter 1 by the water moved by capillary action. Further, in order to promote the capillary phenomenon, a string formed of a nonwoven fabric or the like may be bridged to the adjacent planter 1 through the tubular body 14.

  In the present embodiment, the planter is a tubular body having a fan-shaped cross section, but is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, a cylindrical shape, an elliptical shape, various rectangular tubular shapes, a deformed tubular shape, or the like. Good.

(Modification of planter)
FIG. 7A shows a planter 1 a which is a modification of the planter 1.

  The planter 1a has the same structure as that of the planter 1 except that the planter 1a is long and the deformation prevention member 13 is attached to the body portion 10. Therefore, the description of the common parts is omitted. Further, the same reference numerals as those of the planter 1 are given to the common parts.

  The deformation preventing member 13 includes an internal frame part 131 that is substantially the same outer periphery as the internal shape of the body part 10, a pressing piece part 132 that is connected to the internal frame part 131, and a holding part 133.

  The inner frame portion 131 is formed in a shape that fits in the space inside the trunk portion 10 and has an outer periphery that is large enough to contact the inner surface of the trunk portion 10. Further, the outer peripheral portion of the inner frame portion 131 is formed in a belt shape having a required width, and secures an area in contact with the inner surface of the trunk portion 10 and applies pressure to the barrel portion 10 in a direction in which the barrel portion 10 is reduced. The reinforcing effect against the force in the twisting direction is enhanced.

  The inner frame portion 131 is open except for the substantially cross-shaped reinforcing portion 134 provided inside thereof, and the supplied water moves through the opening portion. The reinforcing portion 134 reinforces the inner frame portion 131 from the inside, and divides the body portion 10 into a plurality of spaces with the reinforcing portion 134 interposed therebetween, and disperses and relaxes the pressure caused by the weight of the culture medium.

  The pressing piece 132 has a main body (reference numeral omitted) that is a plate material shaped along the front surface of the body portion 10 and a pressing portion of the body portion 10 having a required length at the end in the longitudinal direction, and is closed between them. It has a height and a width at which a cylindrical hole-shaped holding portion 133 into which the plate 12 can be inserted is formed, and includes a pair of connection portions (reference numerals omitted) that connect the main body and the internal frame portion 131.

  The deformation preventing member 13 is inserted into the internal space from the opening portion of the trunk portion 10, and the vicinity of the window portion 101 of the trunk portion 10 is sandwiched between the outer surface side of the inner frame portion 131 and the inner surface side of the pressing piece portion 132, and each holding portion 133. The closing plate 12 is inserted into and assembled.

  As a result of assembling the deformation preventing member 13, the inner frame portion 131 prevents the body portion 10 from being deformed or bent in the direction in which the body portion 10 shrinks, and the pressing piece portion 132 holds the outer surface of the body portion 10 near the window portion 101. The body part 10 is prevented from being deformed or bent in the direction of swelling by the weight of a medium containing water.

  In addition, the holding unit 133 holds the closing plate 12 and reinforces the closing plate 12 at several places in the length direction (two places in FIG. 7). Furthermore, the holding part 133 and the closing plate 12 cooperate to prevent deformation or bending of the body part 10 in the direction of swelling due to the stress applied to the periphery of the window part 101 due to the weight of the medium containing water, etc. This prevents deformation or bending in the direction in which the body portion 10 is reduced due to the pressing force. That is, the deformation preventing member 13 reinforces the body portion 10 from the inside and outside, and suppresses deformation or bending of the body portion 10.
