PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that, when a potted plant is placed in a room, it is necessary to put a saucer for receiving water under a pot so that water discharged from the pot does not stain the room, and therefore the water discharged from the pot is collected in the saucer and the collected water adsorbs dirt to damage the beauty of the room, make the room unhygienic, and have the risk of causing disease in the potted plant due to the sweaty bottom of the pot caused by the water collected in the saucer.SOLUTION: A container such as a pot for planting a plant is held in the air, and water discharged from the container is made to drop, which prevents the water from collecting in the bottom of the container. Therefore, the bottom of the container is always exposed to air, which prevents the root of the plant from getting sweaty to protect it from disease. A block having the property of absorbing water is placed below the container held in the air, and therefore water which has dropped from the container is received on the block and is immediately absorbed inside the block. This makes it possible to prevent water strains, improve the beauty of the room, and make the room more hygienic.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】鉢植えの植物を室内に置く場合、鉢から排出される水で室内を汚さないため鉢の下に水受けの皿を敷く必要があった。そのため鉢から排出された水は皿に溜まり汚れを吸着して美観を損ね衛生的でもなかった。また皿に溜まった水により鉢の底が蒸れて病害の恐れもあった。【解決手段】鉢などの植物を植える器を空中に保持する事により器から排出する水を落下させ器の底に水が溜まるのを防ぐ。器の底が絶えず空気に触れているため蒸れることもなく病害の抑制となる。そして空中に保持した器の下に水を吸収する性質を持つブロックを置く事により器から落ちてきた水を受け止めその内部に速やかに吸収する。これにより水による汚を防ぎ美観が良くなり衛生的でもある。【選択図】図3
