It is set to a degree. Therefore, when the connection part 13 and the culture medium holding part 11 of the seedling pot 1 are fitted in the opening 51, the corner part of the contact part 14 comes into contact with the peripheral part 52 of the opening 51 at four points. Thus, the relative position of the seedling pot 1 with respect to the panel 5 is determined, and the seedling pot 1 is supported by the panel 5 while the lower part of the peripheral wall 11a of the medium holding part 11 is immersed in the nutrient solution 4.

Further, in a state where the contact portion 14 is in contact with the opening peripheral edge portion 52, the flange portion 12 and the opening peripheral edge are disposed outside the flange portion 12. The space below the panel 5 is opened in the lead direction to the top of the seedling pot 1 by the area surrounded by the part 52, in other words, by the area surrounded by the contour of the seedling pot 1 and the contour of the opening 51 in plan view. The vent holes 51b are secured in substantially equal sizes in all directions. Note that the opening 51 is not necessarily a perfect circle as long as it has a substantially circular shape in plan view. For example, the opening 51 may be an ellipse in which the difference between the major axis and the minor axis is set to be minute.

Can be supplied. When panel 5 is used, panel 5 closes the opening of cultivation tank 3, so that air easily accumulates in the space below panel 5 and light does not easily enter the space. Therefore, it is conceivable to provide a plurality of vents in the panel 5. If too much light and air is supplied to the space below the panel, there is a risk that germs and bacteria will grow actively. However, as shown in this embodiment, the heel part 12 of the seedling pot 1 is formed in a substantially square shape in a plan view, and the opening 51 provided in the panel 5 is formed in a substantially circular shape in a plan view. Due to the shape, it is possible to supply an appropriate amount of air and light capable of suppressing the growth of germs and bacteria in the space below the panel 5. This was confirmed by numerous experiments conducted by the applicant of this application.
