A system for the transport and growing of free-rooted plants adapted to be grown aeroponically. The system and method includes propagating the free-rooted plants and then transferring them to a transport container. The transport container includes a light and hydrated nutrient balls adapted to keep the plant alive during transport. The plant may, after transport, be transferred to a growing container. The growing container may include a spherical upper portion and a conical lower portion. The growing container allows for the growing of individual free-rooted plants and is coupled to a fluid supply system which provides water to misters within the growing container, and which removes excess water from the bottom of the lower portion of the growing container.

The aim of the present invention is to provide a plant culturing apparatus and a plant culturing method for a plant whole body that allow liquid phase roots and vapor phase roots to separately appear in the root system thereof without using soil. More specifically, according to the present invention, the above described aim is achieved by culturing a plant whole body in the plant culturing apparatus for a plant whole body, which comprises a light-shading casing that is provided with at least one through hole on the ceiling surface and holds a culture liquid, and an inner surface showing capillary force, that are arranged on at least a part of an inner side surface from among an inner surface of the light-shading casing.

The growing container allows for the growing of individual free-rooted plants and is coupled to a fluid supply system which provides water to misters within the growing container, and which removes excess water from the bottom of the lower portion of the growing container. The growing container may be made of two halves which are coupled vertically.
