A plant pot 1 comprises a bounding wall 2 formed by a side wall 3 and a bottom 5 and includes a gel space 7 in which swellable gel grains 9 are accommodated filling the gel space in swollen state. The plant pot further includes a substrate space 11 in which a substrate, for example, soil is accommodated. A bounding wall portion 2A, 2B bounds a part of the second space 11. Drainage openings 13 are located in the bottom 5 of this bounding wall portion 2B next to the gel space 7. The first space 7 is partly bounded by a further bounding wall portion 2D, 2E of the bounding wall 2. Aeration openings 14 are located in this further bounding wall portion. The gel grains 9 are contained in a pad which further includes a flexible separation sheet 15 which forms a root-permeable separation between the gel and soil during use.
A plant pot comprising a bounding wall forming an open-top pot and including a bottom that bounds the under side of the pot as well as a side wall, the bottom forming the complete part of the bounding wall that is present between the side wall, the bounding wall having at least a single opening and a hydrating gel filled first space which is located within the bounding wall, as well as a second space filled with a substrate different from gel, where the second space is partly bounded by a bounding wall portion of the bounding wall, wherein the opening is located in said bounding wall portion and forms a drainage opening for draining a surplus of nutrient water and/or water that cannot be absorbed by the gel during use.
A plant pot provided with a bounding wall which forms an open-top pot and comprises a bottom that bounds the under side of the pot as well as a side wall, where the bottom forms the complete bounding wall portion that is located between the side wall and is provided with at least a single opening, and where on or above at least part of the bottom evenly distributed swellable hydrating gel is present, wherein the plant pot comprises an upright partition wall which forms a separation between two spaces above the bottom and is connected or attached to or forms part of the bottom, where in either of the spaces the gel is present and in the other space no gel is present, and in that the opening is located in the part of the bottom where no gel is present on or above the bottom and forms a drainage opening for draining the surplus of nutrient water and/or water that cannot be absorbed by the gel during use.
