[0050] The following is a combination of drawings and embodiments of the present invention to further explain the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, wherein the drawings have been simplified for illustrative purposes only, and the structure or method invention of the present invention is explained by describing the relationship between the elements and components of the present invention. Therefore, the elements shown in the drawings are not presented in actual quantity, actual shape, actual size and actual proportion, and the size or size proportion has been enlarged or simplified to provide a better description. The actual quantity, actual shape or actual size proportion has been selectively designed and configured, and the detailed element layout may be more complicated.

[0051] See also Figure 1 As shown, the present invention includes a plurality of plant bodies 10 and a base 20 .

[0052] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2A As shown, each plant body 10 includes a main body 11 and a plurality of branch bodies 12. The main body 11 is hollow inside, and each branch body 12 is disposed on the outer wall surface 111 of the main body 11 at intervals and extends radially outward. Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each branch body 12 includes a box body 121 and a cover body 122. The box body 121 is hollow and has an opening 123 on one side, wherein there is a containing space 124. The cover body 122 is disposed at the opening 123 of the box body 121 and has a plurality of chambers 125. Each chamber 125 is concavely formed by the surface of the cover body 122. The bottom surface of each chamber 125 is communicated with the containing space 124 of the box body 121. Each chamber 125 is used to plant plants 90. The chamber 125 may have a planting base 91 to provide the nutrients and water required by the plant 90. The planting base 91 may be a sponge or soil. The box body 121 and the cover body 122 of each branch body 12 are of detachable design, so that the user can easily open the cover body 122, replace the plants 90 in each chamber 125 located in the cover body 122, and clean the box body 121. Each branch body 12 can also be detachably connected to the main body 11 to facilitate the branch body 12 to be separated from the main body 11 for cleaning or replacing the plant 90.

[0053] See also Figure 1 As shown, the base 20 includes an outer wall 21, and the outer wall 21 surrounds a carrying space 22 opened to one side. Two or more plant bodies 10 are aligned and stacked to form a column 100, and at least one column 100 is disposed in the carrying space 22 of the base 20. In one embodiment, a plurality of the columns 100 are arranged in the carrying space 22 at intervals.

[0054] Therefore, by stacking a plurality of planting bodies 10 to form a column 100, and using a single base 20 to support more than one column 100, and each planting body 10 having a plurality of branches 12 for planting plants 90, the occupied horizontal space can be effectively saved, and the endless vertical space can be utilized to plant the plants 90. In addition, by extending the horizontal space in the vertical space with a plurality of branches 12, the planting area can be properly increased.

[0055] In one embodiment, the radial cross-section of the main body 11 of the plant body 10 can be in various shapes, such as an octagonal main body 11 (eg Figure 2A As shown), the hexagonal main body 11A (as shown Figure 5A As shown), a decagon or a more polygonal shape, and each branch 12 extends radially outward from each side, for example Figure 2A and 2BAs shown, the octagonal main body 11 is provided with eight branches 12 respectively extending radially outward from the eight sides, and one of the stacked plant bodies 10 is rotated, so that the main bodies 11 of the plant bodies 10 stacked up and down are not aligned on the side, and thus the branches 12 are arranged in a staggered manner; for example Figure 5A and Figure 5B As shown, the hexagonal main body 11A is provided with six branches 12A extending radially outward from the six sides respectively. After the stacked plant bodies 10A are rotated, one of them is made to make the main bodies 11A of the plant bodies 10A stacked up and down not aligned on the side, and thus the branches 12A are staggered. The staggered branches 12, 12A will make each branch 12, 12A not blocked and can obtain effective light.

[0056] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, each column 100B can be stacked with more than three plant bodies 10 to more effectively utilize the vertical space. However, in this case, even if the main body 11 of the plant body 10 is rotated to make the sides misaligned, there may not be enough horizontal space to allow the upper and lower branches 12 to be staggered. For example, after the first and second layers of branches 12 are staggered, if the third layer of branches 12 are staggered with the second layer of branches 12, they may still overlap with the first layer of branches 12, thereby affecting the lighting effect. Therefore, the bottom outer surface of the box body 121 of each branch body 12 can be provided with a lighting unit 30. When setting, the user can selectively turn on the lighting unit 30 of the branch body 12 of the plant body 10 located on the upper layer, so that the branch body 12 located below and shielded by it can still obtain effective light. For example, after the branches 12 of the first and second layers are offset, when the branches 12 of the third layer cover the branches 12 of the first layer, the lighting units 30 of the branches 12 of the third layer are turned on to provide effective illumination for the branches 12 of the first layer.

[0057] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2A , Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the receiving space 124 of the box body 121 of each branch body 12 may contain liquid 92, and the liquid 92 may be water, nutrient solution or a combination thereof, to provide nutrients and moisture required by the plant 90. The wall surface of each branch body 12 is provided with a water inlet 126 and a water outlet 127, and the liquid 92 is sent into the receiving space 124 of the box body 121 through the water inlet 126, and the liquid 92 is discharged through the water outlet 127. In one embodiment, the water inlet 126 and the water outlet 127 may be provided with a valve body 128 to selectively close or open; in another embodiment, the water inlet 126 may be lower than the water outlet 127, and after the liquid 92 is introduced into the receiving space 124 through the lower water inlet 126, when the liquid 92 in the receiving space 124 rises to the height of the water outlet 127, the liquid 92 naturally overflows from the water outlet 127. In one embodiment, the water outlet 127 is connected to the interior of the main body 11 of the plant body 10, and the liquid 92 overflowing from the water outlet 127 flows downward along the inner wall surface 112 of the main body 11, and finally collected in the carrying space 22 of the base 20. In one embodiment, the carrying space 22 may be provided with an ultrasonic oscillation device 23, which injects air into the liquid 92 in the carrying space 22 by ultrasonic oscillation to increase the oxygen content of the liquid 92, and the liquid 92 may be injected into the water inlet 126 of the box body 121 of the plant body 10 of each column 100 through a preset pipeline by a pump 24, thereby circulating and replacing the liquid 92 in the box body 121 to maintain the cleanliness and oxygen content of the liquid 92 contacted by the plant 90. The liquid 92 in the carrying space 22 may also be discharged through the preset drainage hole 221 to replace the new liquid 92.

[0058] In one embodiment, air can be pumped into the box body 121 of the branch body 12 through the water inlet hole 126 or the water outlet hole 127 or an additional air hole to increase the oxygen content of the liquid 92. Figure 8 As shown, a watering pipe 128C is provided in the box body 121C of the branch body 12C. The watering pipe 128C has a plurality of water outlets 129C. The aforementioned liquid used for irrigation or providing nutrients is introduced into the box body 121C through the watering pipe 128C, and is sprayed or drip-irrigated to each planted plant through each water outlet 129C.

[0059] In one embodiment, a cleaning unit 13 is provided in the main body 11 of the plant body 10. The cleaning unit 13 is used to clean the inner wall surface 112 of the main body 11. Since the liquid 92 in each branch body 12 will flow along the inner wall surface 112, the liquid 92 may contain soil or other dirty substances, which will remain on the inner wall surface 112 and will cause the inside of the main body 11 to be dirty. The cleaning unit 13 can clean the inner wall surface 112 to improve the cleanliness. In one embodiment, the cleaning unit 13 has a pressurized motor and a plurality of nozzles 131. The nozzles 131 are used to spray the high-pressure water column provided by the pressurized motor onto the inner wall surface 112 of the main body 11 to achieve a cleaning effect.
