A flower pot 100 shown in FIG. 1 includes a pot body 101 made of earthenware, and the pot body 101 includes a bottom 102 and a peripheral wall 103 that open upward and have no drain holes. The bowl main body 101 in the illustrated example has a rectangular tube shape that slightly expands toward the top.

  Inside the pot main body 101, an intermediate partition portion 120 that forms a water reservoir chamber 130 between the bottom portion 102 and the main soil storage portion 110 is provided. The intermediate partition portion 120 is connected to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 103 of the pot main body 101 and is installed over the entire periphery, and the soil S (see FIG. 3) accommodated in the soil accommodating portion 110 in this state and the planted plant Although P (see FIG. 3) is supported, the plurality of reinforcing portions 121 provided on the upper surface 102a of the bottom portion 102 are reinforceably supported so as to sufficiently support these weights. The intermediate partition 120 is provided with a plurality of (for example, 5 to 12) through holes 122 for draining vertically.

  A drainage hole 123 that is also used for draining water is provided at the peripheral edge of the intermediate partition 120 that contacts the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 103. In the manufacturing process of the flower pot 100, the drain hole 123 is formed in the water pool chamber 130 by tilting the pot body 101 out of the glaze liquid applied to the pot body 101 so as to be immersed in the pot body 101 through the through hole 122 to the upper surface 102 a of the bottom 102. It is used when removing excess liquid that accumulates from the bowl body 101. In the plant pot 100 after production, the liquid drainage hole 123 is used for draining water like the other through holes 122.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the water pool chamber 130 is a through hole of the intermediate partition portion 120 that removes excess water that has not been retained in the soil S out of the moisture supplied to the soil S in the soil storage portion 110 of the pot body 101. 122, and serves as a reservoir through the drain hole 123. Thereby, since the water | moisture content beyond necessity does not accumulate in the soil S, problems, such as root rot of the plant P, can be prevented. It should be noted that a part of the peripheral wall 103 is provided with a discharge hole with a stopper for discharging water from the water reservoir chamber 130, or the bowl main body 101 is made of plastic so that the amount of water in the water reservoir chamber 130 can be visually observed in part of the peripheral wall 103. A translucent window may be provided.

  Inside the soil accommodating portion 110, there is provided a water permeable soil outflow prevention sheet 140 that extends from the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 103 to the upper surface of the intermediate partition portion 120. The sheet 140 has flexibility, water resistance, and durability, and the mesh size is set to a size that can prevent the used soil S from flowing out. The soil S includes volcanic ash and pumice-derived soil (red jade, black soil, etc.), humus, artificial soil (vermiculite, perlite, etc.), river sand, special soil (such as moss), etc. Sheets are used. For example, a commercially available net for storing agricultural products such as onions may be used.

  At the upper end 104 of the peripheral wall 103 of the pot main body 101, decorative portions 150A and 150B having the shape of animals and plants are provided for the purpose of improving appreciation. One decorative portion 150A is designed in the shape of an animal (illustration in the illustrated example), and the other decorative portion 150B is designed in the shape of a plant (in the illustrated example, branches and leaves).
