Abstract: A flowerpot, especially for forcing plants while using automatic watering, comprises a pot shell (10), a substantially horizontal bottom (14) having at least one first opening (28) and at least one channel (18), that is open downwardly and comprises a plane top wall (24) at a higher level that the bottom (14) and having at least one second opening (26). In the pot shell (10) there is at least one opening (20) forming an inlet to and an outlet from the channel (18). On the lower side of the pot bottom (14), supporting legs (16) are placed along the pot edge. According to the invention, the flowerpot comprises additional supporting legs (32, 32') extending along at least one section (A, A') of the pot bottom (14), said section with one cad facing a part of the edge of a first opening (28, 28') and with its other end facing a free part of the edge of the pot bottom (14) and/or an end wall of one of the channels (18).

Abstract: A flowerpot, particularly for forcing plants while using automatic watering, comprising at its lowermost part at least one sideways-turning inlet (20) for cooperation with a bottom irrigation plant, said inlet (20) consitituting an access opening to a channel (18) extending under the pot, said channel having at least one sidewall (24) facing the filling of the pot, said sidewall--at a distance above the bottom of the pot (14)--being provided with at least one opening (26) for the passage of water. The channel (18) with the opening (26) may serve not only for supplying water to the pot filling and removal of water therefrom, but also as ventilation for the pot filling when the channel is not filled with water.

Abstract: A flower pot for plants, especially flowers, comprising a container portion (10), and a partitioning member accommodated at the low part of the container. They define a bottom chamber (18) for collecting water. The bottom chamber (18) is provided with a liquid overflow (16) at the proper position on the bottom wall of the container. Some overflow apertures are also provided around an inwardly extending shoulder on the lower side wall of the container, with a position higher than the overflow. The partitioning member comprising a sunk park (28) extending downwardly into the bottom chamber (18) past the niveau of the overflow (16). The sunk part (28) at its lower end defines a passage opening (42) towards the chamber (18), and at its upper end is open for receiving filling, e.g. earth. The filling put into the sunk part may serve as a wick for sucking up water from the bottom chamber.

Abstract: A hanging plant pot particularly for flowers, consists of a vessel which at the top has an encircling edge flange provided with anchoring openings for a releasable hooking of the vessel on suspension means e.g. bars, chains or straps. The openings have an oblong shape with a maximum dimension essentially oriented radially in relation to the vessel axis. At that end which is defined to enter the openings, the suspension means have a shaft part, the free end of which is provided with a pair of shoulders extending laterally in opposite directions from said shaft and which measured transversely to the shaft, have a total extension which is larger than the smallest one of the opening but at the utmost as large as the largest internal cross-section of the opening.
