摘要

A method and an apparatus for a complete, integrated cultivation of plants both in a plant nursery and/or in a pre-cultivation plant and also in an intermediate cultivation phase and at the consumer's place, whereby the plant is cultivated in a simple and cheap cultivation container/pot (1), especially of disposable type and filled with earth or a cultivation substrate and with the cultivation container standing with the bottom of the earth mass fully or partly in surface contact with a capillary moisture bed of a means emiting water and nutrient (fertilizer), and in which the plant (20), after having been cultivated for some time, and still in the same cultivation container (1) and without having subjected the roots or the foliage thereof, is moved and is put down on top of another capillary moisture bed and is cultivated or ultimately cultivated standing on top of said moisture bed. During the cultivation phases the plant can be subjected to various cultivation conditions without the need of being re-planted and without any actuation the roots or the foliage of the plant. When a plant is to be exchanged at the consumer's place (D) the entire cultivation container with the plant is removed from the moisture bed and is substituted by unit comprising a new cultivation container (1, 1') including a new plant which is just placed on top of the same moisture bed.
