Problem to be solved: to provide a flowerpot for understanding the water holding capacity of the soil at a glance. Solution: there is provided a window 12 on the side, a transparent plate 2 installed in the window, a water absorbent cloth 3 which is in contact with the inside of the transparent plate in the flowerpot, and a color cloth 4 which is in contact with a water absorbing cloth in the flowerpot, and water contained in the soil in the flowerpot It is characterized that the color of the color cloth passes through the water absorbing cloth when it is absorbed, and can be visually recognized from the outside of the window through the transparent plate. Although the transparent plate is usually made of plastic, it can be made of a glass having a high quality. Further, in addition to the chemical fibers such as rayon, the water absorbent cloth may be made of gauze fibers or Japanese paper in consideration of permeability during water absorption. In addition, the color cloth can be enjoyed by a large number of color papers, in addition to the chemical fibers having high color saturation, and by using several kinds of color papers. Diagram【課題】簡易な方法により一目で用土の保水量が分かる植木鉢を提供する。【解決手段】側面に窓12を具備し、窓に設置された透明板2と、植木鉢内において透明板の内側に着接する吸水布3と、同じく植木鉢内において吸水布に着接する色布4とを有し、吸水布が植木鉢内の用土に含まれる水分を吸収した時に、色布の色彩が吸水布を透過し、透明板を通して窓の外側より視認できることを特徴とする。透明板は、通常はプラスチックを使用するが、高級感のあるガラスとすることもできる。また、吸水布はレーヨン等の化学繊維のほか、吸水時の透過性を考慮してガーゼの繊維や和紙を使用してもよい。さらに、色布は彩度の高い化学繊維のほか、数種類の色紙を交換して使用することにより、多数の色を楽しむことができる。【選択図】図1
