ABSTRACT:
A plant pot is capable of preventing roots from winding and lengthening excessively therein. The pot includes a container which has an open top, a base, and a surrounding wall. The surrounding wall has a bottom end connected to the base. The base has a central portion, a plurality of spaced apart connecting portions which extend radially from the central portion to the bottom end, and a plurality of holes which are confined by the connecting portions and the surrounding wall. The holes are elongated along the direction of the surrounding wall and are closely adjacent to the surrounding wall. Parts of the base close to the surrounding wall are mostly opened and are substantially free of corner spaces which would assist root winding and excessive lengthening.
