(Effect of the invention) In this invention, the main body of a cylindrical container with upper and lower bottoms for storing a potted plant is made of a transparent material, and the flower pot of the potted plant is stored in the flower pot storage section in the lower half of the container main body. is surrounded and fixed on the inner circumferential surface of the flowerpot storage section, the container body is vertically divided into two halves to form a pair of half-cylindrical parts whose palms come together, and each opening edge of the pair of half-cylindrical parts whose palms come together A pair of flanges that join each other extend from three peripheral edges excluding the lower bottom edge, and a pair of opposing vertical edges of the outer peripheral edges of the pair of flanges are joined via a hinge,
A locking member that locks the pair of flanges to each other in a state where the palms are joined is removably disposed on the pair of flanges that join the palms together, and a locking member of the pair of flanges is provided on the boundary surface of the pair of flanges that join the hands together. A water supply channel is formed that slopes downward from the outer periphery toward the inner space of the container body, and the water outlet at the tip of this water supply channel is directed toward the upper opening of the flower pot, avoiding the potted plants in the container body. Since it is a potted plant storage container, it has the following effects.

Since the flowerpot is surrounded and fixed on the inner peripheral surface of the flowerpot storage part, the potted plant can be stored as it is in the container body without attaching a fixing plate or the like to the potted plant, making the storage work easy.

Since a pair of flanges that join the palms together protrude from the container body, the potted plant storage container can be held and transported with one hand using the pair of flanges as finger joints, making it easy to transport.

Since the flowerpot is surrounded and fixed by the inner circumferential surface of the flowerpot storage part, the flowerpot will not be displaced within the container body even if it is tilted during transportation, and the plant will not be damaged during transportation.

Since the container body is transparent, potted plants can be admired from the outside while being stored in the container body, and can be used not only as a simple transportation container but also as an ornamental container after transportation.

Since the container body is transparent, sunlight can be applied to the potted plants while they are stored in the container body.Furthermore, a water supply channel is formed in the flange, and the water outlet at the tip of this water supply channel allows the potted plants inside the container body to be exposed to sunlight. Since the opening is oriented toward the top of the flowerpot, water can be supplied to the soil inside the potted plant without being disturbed by plants from outside while the potted plant is stored in the container itself, allowing cultivation while the potted plant is stored in the container itself. It can be used not only as a transportation container, but also as a simple greenhouse for growing plants after transportation.

Since the pair of clasped flanges extend from the container body, the container body is strong and will not be distorted even if exposed to the sun for a long period of time, allowing it to be used as a simple greenhouse for a long period of time.
