By using such a plant cultivation apparatus, it has become clear that it is not clear whether various kinds of substances harmful to pesticides or the human body are used in the conventional plant cultivation process, thereby solving the problem of feeling anxiety.

These cultivating devices have been continuously improved to invent nutrient solutions to enable plants to be grown more effectively, or technologies that can be used to irradiate light sources. Thus, through these conventional techniques, users can make plant cultivation more effective and easier.

However, in the case of a plant in which plants are arranged in a multi-stage arrangement among the plant cultivation apparatuses, the plant placed at the uppermost stage can be irradiated with a comparatively large amount of light, but the amount of light irradiated is significantly reduced There is a problem that the growth can not be caught.

In addition, even if the plant located at each stage is provided with the LED light and is irradiated, it is not as effective as the photosynthesis through the sunlight.

In addition, the LED light has a plurality of flower pot containers, and as the cultivating area of the flower pot grows, the number of flower pot containers must be increased proportionally, and the electricity charges also increase. Therefore, there is a problem that the maintenance cost is increased when the plant is grown depending on only the LED light.

In addition, although a lot of interest and care of users are required for plant cultivation, it is not easy for busy workers to spend time and effort in cultivating plants, but conventional plant cultivation apparatuses can not effectively supplement them.

Therefore, it is difficult for the user to grow the plant effectively and easily even in the busy daily life.
