[Prior Art]

 In recent years, hydroponics at home using seeds such as radish radish and bulbs such as tulips has become a boom, and containers for these hydroponics are sold.

[0003] These hydroponic culture vessels are commercially available for hydroponically growing seeds such as radish sprouts, and bulbs such as tulips are hydroponically cultivated. For example, a dedicated container as shown in FIG. 8 is sold.

That is, in FIG. 8, reference numeral 1 denotes a hydroponic cultivation container for bulbs, and a support part 3 for supporting a bulb 2 such as a tulip is formed above the hydroponic cultivation container 1 for bulbs. The water 4 containing nutrients is stored below.

However, in such a hydroponic culture vessel 1 for bulbs, the type (size) of bulbs that can be cultivated is determined by the diameter of the support portion 3, and therefore the type of hydroponic culture for bulbs depends on the type of bulbs. It was necessary to select a container, and seeds such as radish sprouts could not be cultivated without using a hydroponics container with a completely different structure.

[0006] In view of the above, there is a demand for a hydroponic culture container capable of easily hydroponically growing various types (sizes) of bulbs from seeds.

Further, conventionally, resource saving and energy saving have been important problems, and in recent years, due to problems such as waste disposal in urban areas, reusing and reusing of resources have been screaming. In particular, most disposable consumables, such as dehumidifiers for the purpose of dehumidifying the interior of drawers and drawers, are made of resin and cannot be incinerated. I am supposed to.

As the dehumidifying container, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-28483, an outer container made of resin for storing deliquescent liquid, and an inner container of the outer container, powdery, granular or It consists of a resin inner container filled with granular deliquescent hygroscopic agent such as calcium chloride, and the deliquescent hygroscopic agent absorbs water in the air to deliquesce, forming deliquescent liquid in the inner container. It is designed to be stored in the outer container through a waste liquid hole such as a slit. The dehumidifying container is currently disposed when the deliquescent hygroscopic agent is completely deliquescent and the dehumidifying effect is lost.

[0009]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As mentioned above, conventional hydroponic culture vessels require dedicated hydroponic culture vessels depending on the type of seeds or bulbs, and one hydroponic culture vessel can only be used for specific types of plants. Since it cannot be cultivated, there is a demand for a container for hydroponic culture that allows easy hydroponics of various plants.

In addition, although the conventional dehumidifying container is generally used in each home, its shape is also special compared to ordinary containers, and is not created considering other uses than dehumidification. However, it is difficult to reuse or reuse it for purposes other than the dehumidifying container, and it is discarded when the dehumidifying effect is lost.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and makes it possible to easily reuse and reuse a dehumidifying container commonly used in each household as a container for hydroponic cultivation. As a container for hydroponic cultivation, it is an object of the present invention to provide a container for dehumidifying and hydroponic cultivation capable of hydroponic cultivation of a wide variety of plants from seeds to bulbs of various sizes.
