At the same time, a partition part separating the planting part and the storage part was formed of a material having water permeability and having permeability.

[0008] That is, when a plant planted in the plant portion of the flower pot absorbs the moisture in the soil of the plant portion, when the content of water contained in the soil decreases, the plant is placed in the storage portion. The stored water is supplied to the soil in the planting section through the partition wall.

[0009] In the flowerpot of the second aspect, the cylindrical partition wall is erected at the bottom of a flowerpot body formed in a container shape, and the planting part and the storage part are located on the inner side of the partition part. A compartment was formed on the outside.

[0010] Thus, the permeation of water from the storage section to the tree planting section is promoted over the entire partition wall which partitions the tree planting section and the storage section.

Further, in the flowerpot of the third aspect, the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the flowerpot main body and the upper edge of the partition are connected to each other, and the peripheral wall is provided between the peripheral wall and the partition. Was provided with a supply hole to supply water.

That is, since the planting part is set inside the partition part and the storage part is set on the outer peripheral part of the partition part, the volume in the storage part is increased. . And by connecting the upper edge of the flowerpot main body and the upper edge of the partition part continuously, the opening area of the storage part formed between the partition part and the peripheral wall part of the flowerpot main body is reduced. In the peripheral wall portion, a replenishing hole for replenishing water is secured, so that inadvertent evaporation of the water stored in the storage portion is prevented, and the outflow of water when the flowerpot falls down is minimized. Can be

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a flower pot having a lid detachably attached to the supply hole.

Thus, evaporation of water from the supply hole,
In addition, the outflow of water when the flowerpot falls is reliably prevented.

[0015] In addition, in the flowerpot of the fifth aspect, the flowerpot body is formed of a fired product in which glaze is baked on the peripheral wall portion.

Thus, seepage and evaporation of water from the peripheral wall portion of the flowerpot main body are prevented.
