ABSTRACT:
A flowerpot1made of plastic, in particular in a deep-drawn embodiment having a bottom7that is provided with holes and hollow layer regions of the bottom7on the bottom side for connecting the holes to the environment on the bottom side is designed so that the holes12, 13are arranged at least partially in the bottom areas8, 9, 10, 11which sit without any spacers for distancing on a supporting surface and have channels14, 15in the form of a bottom channeling crisscrossing through the lower area in at least two directions and leading out to the edges. These channels ensure drainage of the flowerpot at the bottom and optionally watering of the pot without providing feet or edge webs on the bottom that would be susceptible entanglement when being shifted on working surfaces or in conveyance with the help of conveyor belts and which can lead to deformation and resilient recoil movements when work is done by machine, in particular when the pots are being placed on a substrate.
