Plant cultivation device.

Abstract

The device for growing at least one plant comprising a head 1, roots 3 and a stem 2 which connects the roots to the head, includes support means defining a substantially horizontal first plane, the plant being mounted in cooperation with these support means 4 so that the head 1 and the roots are located respectively on either side of the first plane, means for creating, in the space in which the roots are located, a fluid of a plant-nourishing substrate, and means for subjecting the roots 3 to an oscillating movement.

Claims

[Claim 5] fact that said support means (8) is constituted by at least two pieces (15, 16), each piece having the shape of a comb having teeth (17) spaced from each other, means for fitting these two pieces with each other in a direction not coincident with said teeth (17) so that, between said teeth (17), a free space of substantially trapezoidal shape is created so that said plant passes into this space and to support it by pinching at the level of said part (2) when these two pieces are fitted together. Device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the space in which said roots (3) are located is defined by a tray (5), said tray comprising at least one wall part capable of letting ambient light pass through.
