Visually recognizable is the pouring margin by a few centimeters of comprehensive supernatant, which can be found at the top of flower pots and vessels and is recommended to the lower edge of a filling with soil or granules. By adhering to this limit, a comprehensive supply of the respective plant can be done with water, without this over the edge of the planet occurs. Even if the shape of the foam is offered with a pouring rim, here the additional margin does not fulfill the originally intended purpose. In most basic forms, the foam is higher than the pouring edge, so that is a protective function in the irrigation is not given. The pouring edge in this case provides more for a small gap between edge and floral foam and thus contributes to the fact that the foam base can be watered in a simple manner. Florists regularly refill water over the pouring rim, which is absorbed by the floral foam and the plants as needed.
