| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to the field of plant growth units, and more particularly pertains to an apparatus for plant cultivation which conserves horizontal space and utilizes vertical space, while providing for the growth of plants which are cultivated in an indoor environment. The plant growth unit comprises a nutrient supply module (10) and one or more columns (20) radially disposed about a central vertical longitudinal axis (40) thereby defining an internal space (42) between the one or more columns (20) designed to accommodate a light source. Each column (20) is in fluid communication with the nutrient supply module (10) for circulation of a liquid nutrient flow (14). The one or more columns (20) support a plurality of growth sites (30), which are radially disposed about the longitudinal axis (40) and generally face the internal space (42). Each growth site (30) is positioned to contact the liquid nutrient flow (14). |
