PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED : To provide a MOW-type plant cultivation container preventing root rot due to overwater which is one of causes of failure in watering control, and solving the following problems : transplantation of a plant planted in a flower pot is apt to result in failure without skill, takes a lot of time and labor, and causes trouble with removal of unnecessary soil and flowerpot because the roots get overcrowded in the flowerpot and the plant is necessary to be transplanted within several years after planted; and the plant planted in the flowerpot is very heavy and inconvenient to carry if the soil is heavy, the soil is scattered, or the flowerpot, if being made of earth, is inevitably broken when falling down. SOLUTION : The MOW-type plant cultivation container is formed through applying roots of cultivated plants and moss for protecting the roots to a dome-shaped net or a porous outer wall so as to make the roots of the plants and the moss grow to be integrated with the outer wall. The container has such a mechanism that the inside of the outer wall is made hollow to supply the plant roots with a proper amount of oxygen and water even when managing excessive moisture by putting the container on a tray filled with water so as to cause no root rot and facilitate management because of its lightness in weight. The root rot can be easily solved by cutting the roots inside the outer wall to trim them. COPYRIGHT : (C)2006, JPO&NCIPI
