The invention relates to a receptacle for plants which, designed to contain the substrate or earth of a plant, is configured on the basis of a hollow body with a variable base shape and open at least in one upper opening, wherein the body is smaller than its internal base such that the centre of gravity of said body is less than half of its height. The internal base of the receptacle is a part that is independent from the body, which is coupled to same by means of a disassemblable joining system and adjusted peripherally in relation to the internal part thereof, said disassembly system permitting the extraction of said internal base when desired and the separation thereof from the body. Said lower base is applicable, by extension, to all types of geometric configurations used in the body of receptacles for plants. The lower base is also bigger than the lower part of the body of the receptacle, defining a peripheral overhang that forms a receiving section all around the body, suitable for collecting surplus water from watering, and optionally provided with a lip permitting the discharge of said water.Recipiente para plantas que, destinado a contener el sustrato o tierra de una planta, se configura a partir de un cuerpo hueco, de configuración plantar variable, abierto, al menos, en una embocadura superior, en la que el cuerpo tiene una dimensión menor que su base interior de un modo tal que el centro de gravedad de dicho cuerpo se encuentra situado por debajo de la mitad de su altura. La base interior del recipiente es una pieza independiente del cuerpo que se acopla al mismo mediante un sistema de unión de carácter desmontable y se ajusta perimetralmente a su parte interior, este sistema de desmonte permite extraer dicha base interior a voluntad y separarla del cuerpo. Siendo dicha base inferior aplicable por extensión a todo tipo de configuraciones geométricas empleadas en el cuerpo de recipientes para plantas. La base Inferior presenta también una mayor dimensión
