  • Publication number: 20140196367
    Abstract: The hydroponics attachment capable of steady growing of even taproot-type plant and easy plant relocation includes: the cap member with the opening at its top, which is detachably screwed, via the threaded portion, on the mouth of the drink bottle; the bottomed cylinder-shaped case body fitted in the opening; and the water-holding element placed in the case body for absorbing water in the drink bottle, so that hydroponics can be done with absorbed water. The single-piece water-holding element is made of a plurality of aligned filaments. The case body has, at its bottom, the insertion hole for guiding the plant's root growing downward through the water-holding element to go under the case body. The opening dimension of the insertion hole is smaller than the outer dimension of the water-holding element.
