Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a flowerpot for a bog plant according to the present invention has a buoyancy force made of foamed plastic capable of producing a buoyancy force larger than the total of its own weight, compost and the weight of the planted plant. It is characterized by having a generating part and having at least one water passage hole. The position where the buoyancy generating part should be provided can be set to an appropriate position such as the lower part of the pot main body, the periphery or the upper part, depending on the plant to be cultivated. It is also recommended to selectively attach / detach to / from different positions, or to selectively attach / detach two or more types of buoyancy generators having different volumes to / from the bowl body.

By adopting such a configuration, the entire flower pot can be floated on a pond, a water lily pot, a fishbowl, etc.
Therefore, the troublesome installation work of the pot becomes unnecessary, and the inconvenience caused by the vertical movement of the water surface can be avoided. Further, since the water surface inside the pot is always kept the same as the water surface outside the pot, the distance from the water surface to the compost is kept constant, and it is possible to always secure the optimum cultivation water level for the plant.
