A flower pot is a decorative block that can contain flowers, bamboo, saplings, cacti, mushrooms, fungi, and other reasonably sized plants.
Obtaining
Natural generation
Flower pots naturally generate in witch huts where they contain a red mushroom , the basement of igloos where they contain a cactus and in woodland mansions , where they contain birch saplings, dandelions, poppies, blue orchids, alliums, azure bluets, red and white tulips, and oxeye daisies.
Flower pots containing an azure bluet can be found in some plains village houses. Flower pots containing a dandelion can be found in some savanna village houses. Flower pots containing a cactus or a dead bush can be found in some desert village houses. Flower pots containing a spruce sapling can be found in taiga village mason houses.
Breaking
Flower pots can be mined instantly using any tool or without a tool.
A flower pot drops itself as an item (any plant or mushroom in it separately) when pushed by a piston or washed away with water .
Chest loot

Usage
A flower pot can be used to hold mushrooms , fungi , and various plants . Plants that can be placed in a pot include any one block high flowers , saplings , ferns , dead bushes , cacti , bamboo , and roots .
Plants can be removed by using the interact button.
Flower pots can be placed against any surface in Java Edition .
In Bedrock Edition , they must be placed on top of a full-block top surface, or the top of a fence , stone wall , or hopper . They cannot be placed on slabs and stairs unless those blocks are upside-down.
Flower pots are 3 ⁄8 of a block high and can be stepped on. It is not possible to walk from the top of a flower pot onto a full sized block without jumping. It is possible to jump from a flower pot onto a fence.
The plant or mushroom can be removed from the flower pot by pressing the use control. This places the item directly back into the player's inventory. While this behavior is inconsistent with other blocks such as sweet berry bush , it is in fact completely intended.[1]
They can be used to display cacti and wither roses without inheriting their damaging properties.[2] [3]

Flower pots can no longer use data values because more than 15 plants can be potted, it now has a block entity instead. Due to the tile entity handling, it is now possible to place any block inside of a flower pot via NBT editors. However, at this point, with the ones possible in vanilla survival aside, only grass , green shrubs , and cobwebs actually render. Potted grass now exists can be placed in flower pots using commands .File:Potted Gray Grass.png File:Potted Gray Fern.png Potted shrubs, grass, and ferns must now have block data value 11 to display biome colors, otherwise rendering as default/gray.
