As described above, when all the water in the inside 812 of the container 81 is consumed, the inside of the container 812 is replaced with another container 81 filled with water, or the inside of the container 812 is filled with water. After filling, water receiving portion 8
By setting the inverted state to 0,
Natural water supply to the plant 90 can be continued. Here, according to the water guide member 1 of the present embodiment, the water guide member 3 is configured such that one end 30 side of the water guide portion 3 exposed to the outside from the covering portion 4 is supplied to the water of the water receiving portion 80 of the water supply device 8 by setting the specified water level. The other end 31, which is soaked and covered by the water supply covering member 5 in contact with the exposed portion 311, is connected to the water receiving portion 80.
From the specified water level H of the water contained in the concave portion 801 of FIG.
It is inserted and arranged in a culture soil area 92 that can supply water to the roots 91 of the plants 90 in the pot 9 placed at a position H1 mm to about 200 mm higher.

In the case where the other end 31 side of the water guide section 3 is arranged in a region where water can be supplied to the root 91 of the plant 90,
The side is a water supply covering member 5 formed of a stainless steel wire mesh.
This reduces the flexibility and makes the pot hard, so that the pot 9 can be easily inserted into the culture soil 92. The meaning that the specified water level H can always be formed and maintained at a position lower than the culture soil area 92 of the pot 9 means that only the amount of water that requires the specified water level H is required by utilizing the capillary action of the water guide unit 3. The specified water level H
Water can be guided to the roots 91 of the plant 90 existing at a higher position,
In addition, it is to obtain an action that can be naturally controlled so that the water content absorbed in the culture soil region 92 does not exceed the saturation amount.

That is, as the water content absorbed in the culture soil area 92 approaches the saturation amount, the water introduction amount naturally decreases, and when the water content reaches the saturation amount, the water introduction can be stopped.
A function can be obtained that can eliminate the leakage of water that exceeds the saturation amount from the outside to the outside. By setting the specified water level H below the bottom surface of the bowl 9, the amount of water guided to a position higher than the specified water level H can be appropriately controlled by effectively utilizing the capillary action of the water guide unit 3.

Therefore, when water is introduced into the culture soil area 92 at a position higher than the specified water level H by the capillary action of the water introduction section 3, the water supply covering member 5 covering the other end 31 side of the water introduction section 3 transmits water. Since a mesh having a value capable of preventing the penetration of the roots 91 of the plant 90 is used, the penetration of the roots 90 can be prevented, and in addition to the fact that the mesh is in contact with the exposed portion 311 on the other end 31 side of the water guide portion 3. By covering the exposed portion 311, similarly to the capillary action by the water guide section 3, the water supply cover member 5 itself also generates a capillary action, and the water supply cover member 5 is moved from the other end 311 side of the water guide section 3 to the culture soil area 92 of the pot 9. Water can be quickly introduced.

Subsequently, a predetermined amount of water is contained by the capillary action of the culture soil itself. However, if a saturated state is achieved, water is introduced from the specified water level H at a lower position. After the water is once introduced into the culture soil area 92, the water is not leaked to the outside of the pot 9, but is leaked to the outside of the pot 9,
