Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016068696A1] 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.
