Original Abstract Submitted
A plant cultivation apparatus is provided. The plant cultivation apparatus may include a cabinet, a bed, and a light emitting portion. A cultivation portion, which is provided inside of the cabinet and in which at least a portion of a plant is embedded, rests on the bed. The light emitting portion is provided inside of the cabinet d emits light toward the cultivation portion. The light emitting portion includes a light emitting body that emits light toward cultivation portion, and a lens located between the light emitting body and the cultivation portion. Light provided from the light emitting body is provided to the cultivation portion by being transmitted through the lens. The lens includes a first lens through which the light from the light emitting body is transmitted so as to have a first radiation angle, and a second lens through which the light from the light emitting body is transmitted so as to have a second radiation angle, which is less than the first radiation angle. The lens is configured such that the light provided from the light emitting body is selectively transmitted through either the first lens or the second lens.
