Method for growing plants and apparatus for growing plants

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Disclosed are a plant cultivation apparatus and a plant cultivation method. The method employs an artificial light efficiently for cultivating the plant while oxygen necessary for growing a plant root can be supplied sufficiently and growth of bacteria can be prevented. Heat damage such as a chip-burn may be prevented by minimizing heat generated by the artificial light (fluorescent light). In the method the plant root is bathed in a cultivation water solution containing fertilizer and air having high concentration of carbon dioxide may be blown into the cultivation water solution intermittently during a plant cultivation term. All inside walls of a cultivation room may be covered with a …
