If it is not perforated, it would only be rabbinic. <ref> The Mishnah Shabbos 95a writes that to pull a flower out of a perforated pot that is on the ground would be an act of kotzeir d’oraysa since the flowerpot is viewed as an extension of the earth it is drawing nutrients from. On a rabbinic level it is prohibited to pull a flower out of pot even if it does not have a hole in it. This is codified by Shulchan Aruch 336:7 and Mishnah Brurah 336:42. </ref> | ||
