HORTICULTURAL POT MADE FROM MATERIAL FOR POT OF HORTICULTURAL NURSERY BED FOR FLOWER AND VEGETABLE BEING RECYCLED PAPER DECAYABLE INTO SOIL FOR CONVENIENCE FOR AMATEUR GARDENER
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease pollution-causing combustible wastes which are polyethylene pots used for nursing seeds into seedlings or for temporary planting and having a consumption increased as a result of a horticulture boom. SOLUTION: The production of wastes is reduced by utilizing recycled paper decayable into soil as the material of a horticultural pot. The pot is made from the recycled paper which, for convenience for an amateur gardener, is mixed with a fertilizer suitable for the seedling to be nursed and has the name of a plant suitable for use therein. Further, in order to prevent water and the fertilizer from rapidly flowing out of the pot when fed with water, it has a plurality of small water discharge openings which, unlike the conventional case, allow the slowdown of water discharge and the sufficient permeation of the fertilizer and water into soil particles.
