PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plant cultivation apparatus which enables a plant to be efficiently cultivated using the plant-inherent circadian rhythms which the plant has, and to provide a plant cultivation method.SOLUTION: The plant cultivation apparatus includes: a housing body 11 having a cultivation space 13 for storing a plant; a light source 12 provided at the upper part of the housing body 11 for emitting cultivation light required for the growth of the plant stored in the cultivation space 13; a light source controller 21 for switching the light source 12; a computer 20 for controlling the light source controller 21; a keyboard 30 as input means for setting light-dark cycles; a memory unit 22 as storage means for storing the light-dark cycles set via the keyboard 30; and a display 40 as indication means for indicating temperature and humidity in the cultivation space 13. In the apparatus, for example, the light period is set to 11 hours and the dark period is set to 11 hours, then, the switching of the light source 12 is controlled so that the dark period may be terminated 1-3 hours before the dawn in the circadian rhythms of the plant. |
