At this time, the attachment portion 53 has a hook shape and can be easily removed.

  Since the climbing material 52 is made of wire and can be bent, the climbing material 52 can be made compact by winding in a spiral shape as shown in FIG. For example, when the plant is leased from a leasing company, as shown in (c), the planting part 50 in a state in which the climbing material 52 is wound in a spiral shape is compact, so that the plant goes out for replacement. The leasing company can store the product in a box such as cardboard and take it home, which facilitates transportation. At this time, since it becomes compact, courier transportation is also possible.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the soil that is rooted in the soil storage container 51 is a well-drained soil for hydroponics. For example, soil such as inorganic vermiculite, perlite, rock wool, hydroball, sponge, etc. It is lighter than that. Therefore, compared with the conventional exchange for every natural soil, the weight can be significantly reduced and the transportation becomes easy.

And the planting part 50 in which the plant of the good growth state carried in the compact and the state was planted similarly is arrange | positioned in the position where the planting part 50 in which the plant of poor growth was planted was arrange | positioned. To do. And the attachment part 53 of the climbing material 52 of the planting part 50 is attached to the extending part 13b of the suspension frame 13.
As mentioned above, according to this embodiment, the planting part 50 can be replaced | exchanged easily.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, since the some planting part 50 was exchangeable individually, in the case of replacement | exchange of the plant which a continuous cropping failure generate | occur | produces, it can respond by replacing | exchanging culture medium completely.

  Since the suspension frame 13 is attached to the exterior container 14, the wall surface greening unit 1 in which the exterior container 14 and the suspension frame 13 are integrated can be provided.

  Since the nutrient solution is automatically sent by the feed pump 30, it is possible to save the user's trouble of watering and supplying the nutrient solution. In addition, drying and growth failure due to forgetting to supply nutrient solution do not occur.

  The nutrient solution is not poured, and the nutrient solution that has not been absorbed by the culture medium flows out to the culture solution reservoir 20. Since the nutrient solution stored in the culture solution storage unit 20 is again sent to the culture medium by the solution feeding pump 30, the nutrient solution is not wasted. Therefore, there is little possibility of environmental pollution.

  In addition to the leasing business, it is conceivable to sell only the fixed unit 10 to a customer at a low price and separately sell various plants formed into a cartridge. In this case, since various plants are lightweight and compact, they can be provided by courier.

  When the growth deteriorates due to environmental conditions, etc., it can be collected (purchased) at the time of purchase of a new cartridge, regenerated in a place with good environmental conditions such as a greenhouse, and then sold again.
