Description

Planting device and its carrier

The present invention relates to a planting device and a carrier thereof, and more particularly to a planting device having a light reflecting layer and a carrier thereof.

A hydroponic device is a method in which a plant is fixed on a vehicle (such as a floating plate, a pot or a bracket), the root of the plant is immersed in a liquid, and the leaves of the plant are illuminated with a lamp (such as an LED lamp, an incandescent bulb or a fluorescent lamp). To allow the roots of the plant to absorb nutrients from the liquid and to photosynthesize through the leaves of the crop. However, because plants have the space to compete for more photosynthesis, it is easy to cause plants and plants to shield each other from light and affect growth, and most of the light can not be fully used and waste. Therefore, in general, the method of hydroponic cultivation requires sufficient space between plants and plants to prevent plants from affecting each other, so that the illumination of the lamps is not irradiated to the plants, and most of the illumination is not used. Cause waste.
