As described above, conventionally, when plants are planted in a flowerpot, pebbles are placed so as to close a through hole at the bottom center of the flowerpot, or the state is kept as it is. At that, fine stones and soil were thrown in.

[0006] By the way, a large number of poor hairs such as earthworms, insects, reptiles, etc., inhabiting the soil of the flower pots inhabit the outdoors, and when the flower pots in which the plants are planted are put out, the soils of the flower pots are sometimes found in the soil. It is well known empirically that these invaders have penetrated and settled down.

[0007] These invaders mainly come from the through holes near the bottom of the flower pots (the gap between the pebbles and the through holes when closed by pebbles) while the pots are left outdoors. It may penetrate and may also enter through the upper opening of the flowerpot.

After the pots are moved indoors, they may appear on the surface of the soil at night or the like and erode the plants.

[0009] In addition, the existence of an intruder is extremely unpleasant for a human having a character that hates such an intruder physiologically.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention closes a through hole near the bottom of a flower pot from outside or inside with a mesh,
Further, by substantially covering the opening on the upper surface of the flowerpot with a net, it is possible to prevent the invasion of the invader.
