Picking Flowers From a Flowerpot on Shabbat

Picking Flowers From a Flowerpot on Shabbat
Day: Monday
Date: August 24, 2015
Parshat: Ki Tetzei
Yalkut Yosef: O"H 336


The Melacha of Kotzer also applies to things growing in flowerpots and planters, regardless whether the planter is connected to the ground or not. It is also forbidden to put a flowerpot or planter on the ground on Shabbat or to remove it from the ground on Shabbat. The prohibition against moving a planter is a Rabbinic decree and is true regardless whether or not the planter is connected to the ground in any way, has holes underneath or not, or what it's made of. It is also forbidden to take out of a cup of water an avocado pit or potato or anything else that was put there to grow roots.
