Thereby, the driving motor 33 can drive the driving ring 323 of the lifting mechanism 32 to rotate synchronously with the synchronous rotating shaft 31, so that the planting unit 40 is in the diving position and the floating position. When the planting unit 40 moves to the diving position, the plant 200 on one of the planting units 40 can be immersed in the culture solution 100 for a predetermined time (for example, 5-10 minutes). In this way, the nutrient absorption area on the surface of the plant 200 can be increased to improve the efficiency of absorbing nutrients, and also the adverse weather conditions can be reduced; at this time, the remaining planting units 40 located at the floating position are The plant 200 is exposed above the liquid surface of the culture solution 100. Thus, the plants 200 on the remaining planting units 40 can receive light for photosynthesis and can be viewed by people.

Through the above description, the advantages of the new model can be summarized as follows:

1. The present invention has a plurality of small-area and vertically arranged planting units 40. The planting units 40 do not occupy an area, and the present invention effectively reduces the overall occupied area compared with the prior art, and is applicable. For a variety of different occasions, such as the general office, home or office building between.

2. The planting unit 40 of the present invention is cyclically moved between the diving position and the floating position. When one of the planting units 40 moves to the diving position, the remaining planting unit 40 is provided thereon. The plant 200 is located at the floating position and is exposed above the liquid surface of the culture liquid 100, and is available for viewing. Compared with the prior art, the present invention can be used not only by the rest in the floating position. The plants 200 on the planting unit 40 function to produce a landscape display, and the plants 200 located above the liquid surface can also be used to explain the cultivation situation of the fruits and vegetables that they buy and eat.

Referring to Figures 5 and 6, a second embodiment of the present invention is similar to the first embodiment. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that each lifting mechanism 32 There is a smaller driving wheel 321 , a smaller driven wheel 322 , a transmission ring 323 , and a first idler that is spaced apart from the corresponding one of the vertical arms 21 and engaged with the transmission ring 323 . A wheel 324 is disposed at a second idler pulley 325 that is spaced apart from the corresponding one of the upright arms 21 and engages the drive ring 323. The first idler pulleys 324 are higher than the transmission wheel 321 in the height direction Z. The two idler pulleys 325 are higher in the height direction Z than the first idler pulleys 324 and lower than the driven wheels 322.
