The lamp rods are used to provide a light source for plant growth.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] When the planting rack needs to be expanded or its height adjusted, the first connector 23 at the bottom is used as a base. The slots 2311 of the first connector at the bottom are matched one by one with the inserts 2311 on the other first connectors 23. By stacking them one by one, the height adjustment or expansion can be easily completed. The third cylinder 4 is evenly inserted into the accommodating space along the circumferential direction of the second cylinder 2. The setting of the third cylinder 4 further increases the space utilization and planting density of the planting rack. Each third cylinder 4 can independently accommodate different plants or planting media, allowing users to plant multiple plants on the same planting rack, meeting the needs of diversified planting. At the same time, the detachable design of the third cylinder 4 also makes planting and changing plants more convenient and quick.

[0043] In summary, the improved hydroponics planting rack provided in this embodiment has advantages such as high installation efficiency, convenient maintenance and replacement, high space utilization and strong practicality, which meets the needs of hydroponics planting for planting racks.
