Usage

A flower pot can be used to hold mushrooms and various plants. Plants that can be placed in a pot include any one block high flowers, saplings, ferns, dead bushes, cacti and bamboo.

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.‌^{[Java and Legacy Console editions only]}
