Therefore, the mounting table 66 is circulated and moved together with the endless chain 58 while constantly maintaining a horizontal state by the circulating movement of the endless chain 58.

A large number of inner pots 22 are mounted on a support table 68 in the mounting table 66.
The porous string 22 </ b> A hung from the support base 68 penetrates the support base 68 and communicates with the makeup water filled at the bottom of the support base 68.

As an example, the initial breeding apparatus 50 has a total length (left and right dimensions in FIG. 1) of 4 m and a height of 1 m, and the support 68 accommodates about 100 inner pots 22.

FIGS. 2 to 6 show a hydroponic greening planter 10 installed in an ornamental place such as a room. This hydroponic greening planter 10 has a box shape in which a housing case 12 has an open ceiling. Preferably, the housing case 12 is made of stainless steel and the side wall is made of a material having a design surface such as punched metal.

A receiving tray 14 is provided at the bottom of the storage case 12.
Is inserted. It is preferable that a support leg 16 is provided on the bottom surface of the tray 14 as shown in FIG. 4, and the support leg 16 may be such that the height of the tray 14 can be adjusted. This height adjustment can be performed by a combination of a bolt and a nut. The receiving tray 14 has a waterproof structure made of stainless steel, synthetic resin, or the like.

A support table 18 is disposed near the upper end of the tray 14. The support base 18 can be made of a stainless punched metal or a mesh material having a large number of openings. The support 18 of this embodiment has a bent portion 18 at its periphery.
A is formed for reinforcement. This support 1

As shown in FIG. 2, three inner pots 22 have corner portions 22A.
Can be placed adjacent to each other. The inner bowl 22
As described with reference to FIG. 1, the porous string 22B is attached to the bottom portion, and the lower end portion is accommodated in the receiving tray 14 through the through hole 23 of the support base 18, and the supply water in the receiving tray 14 is sucked into the inner bowl 22. Has a role. This porous string 2
Various porous materials can be applied instead of 2B.

In the middle of the three inner pots 22 arranged adjacent to each other, a make-up water tank 24 having a substantially triangular planar shape having a vertex near the corner 22A of a pair of adjacent inner pots 22 is arranged. It has become so. These make-up water tanks 24 are arranged between the adjacent inner pots 22, and two sides sandwiching the corner 22A of the adjacent inner pot 22 face the side of each inner pot 22 as shown in FIG. Is arranged along the inner peripheral surface of the storage case 12. A triangular recess 18 </ b> B is formed in the support base 18 so that these inner bowls 22 can be stably placed on the support base 18. A through hole 26 is formed in the center of the concave portion 18B so that an on-off valve 28 formed in the opening of the inner bowl 22 can be inserted. The on-off valve 28 is screwed to the neck of the makeup water tank 24,
By screwing, the neck of the makeup water tank 24 is closed to seal the inside of the makeup water tank 24, and by loosening the neck, the neck is opened and the makeup water in the makeup water tank 24 can be taken out. Specifically, when the makeup water tank 24 is placed on the concave portion 18B with the opening / closing valve 28 down, the makeup water from the opening / closing valve 28 changes the makeup water level 32 in the tray 14 as shown in FIG. It can always be kept constant. That is, by the chicken feeder system, when the make-up water level 32 falls, the make-up water in the make-up water tank 24 automatically falls into the tray 14, and when the make-up water level 32 reaches the height of the on-off valve 28, the make-up water tank 24 The discharge of make-up water is stopped. Therefore, the height of the makeup water level 32 can be controlled by adjusting the amount of screwing of the on-off valve 28 into the makeup water tank 24.

The makeup water tank 24 may be filled with a nutrient solution limited to makeup water. The plant growing nutrients can be supplied to the soil in the inner pot 22 in advance.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a combination of a height adjusting bolt 34 and a nut 36 is disposed at the corner of the support base 18 between the bottom of the housing case 12 and the nut. The height of the support bolt 18 can be changed by changing the amount of screwing of the height adjusting bolt 34 with the nut 36, whereby the distance between the inner bowl 22 and the makeup water level 32 can be adjusted.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. In the initial breeding apparatus 50, a large number of inner pots 22 are accommodated in the support 68, and replenishment water supplied manually or automatically to the support 68 is supplied through the porous string 22A, and more preferably, initial water is supplied. The breeding environment such as the temperature and the sunshine conditions in the breeding apparatus 50 is kept constant, and the plants in the inner pot 22 are bred initially.

The inner pot 2 grown by the initial growing device 50
2 is moved into a hydroponic greening planter 10 placed indoors for ornamental use. In this case, the makeup water tank 24 is previously set on the support base 18 and the amount of screwing of the on-off valve 28 to the makeup water tank 24 and the amount of screwing of the height adjusting bolt 34 to the nut 36 are adjusted. Therefore, it is preferable to set the interval between the inner bowl 22 and the makeup water level 32 at the same level as the interval in the greenhouse growing state. Accordingly, the water in the inner pot 22 can be supplied with the supplementary water in the same environment as the breeding environment in the initial breeding apparatus 50, and the stress due to environmental changes can be reduced and the long-term appreciation value can be maintained. .

In this embodiment, since the make-up water tank 24 has a triangular shape which can be compactly arranged between the inner pots 22, the hydroponic greening planter 10 has an extremely compact shape without a large space. The storage case 12
