The automatic watering pot using the porous carrier is provided with a third inner space having an open upper surface and a lower surface formed with at least one second through hole, wherein the root region of the dried plant is planted in the third inner space. Further comprising a sub-container comprising a soil layer,
The sub container and the porous carrier are accommodated in the first container, and the sub container is accommodated in a form such that the sub container is planted in the porous carrier.
The water stored in the second container is filled with a water level having a height between a point where the bottom surface of the first container is located and a point where the bottom surface of the sub container is located in the second internal space, thereby storing the porous material. By the capillary action of the carrier to supply the water stored in the second container to the second through side via the first through,
In one area of the outer surface of the second container,
In order to control the amount of water supplied to the dry plants, the reproductive plants and the aquatic plants according to the growth environment of the tubular plants, by providing a growth environment standard display unit is set the standard of the amount of water stored in the second internal space, Providing information on the amount of water to be stored according to the tubular plant, and providing information on the remaining amount of water remaining in the second internal space,
The second container,
And at least one seating portion provided with a groove having a size corresponding to a lower diameter to accommodate the at least one first container in the second inner space, to prevent the flow of the first container in the second container inner space. and,
In one area of the outer surface of the second container,
Mounting means having an end bent to install the automatic water supply plant using the porous carrier to the mounting target area including at least one of the door frame and the wall;
The mounting means includes a width adjusting member including at least one of a sliding rail, a stopper, and a compression spring that allow the mounting width of the mounting means to be adjusted in response to a thickness width of the mounting target region within a predetermined range. ; Is provided,
In one area of the outer surface of the second container,
An automatic water supply pot using a porous carrier, characterized in that an installation means including at least one of a fitting means and a hook means for installation of an identification member including a nameplate.
