A flower pot is a decorative block that can contain flowers, bamboo, saplings, cacti, mushrooms, fungi, and other small plants.
Obtaining

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.

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, dark oak saplings, dandelions, poppies, blue orchids, alliums, azure bluets, red and white tulips, and oxeye daisies.
Flower pots containing a dandelion can be found in some plains and 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. Flower pots containing a poppy can be found in taiga village churches.
Lava can flow into the space of a flower pot, destroying it.
Flower pots with dead bushes can generate inside trial chambers.

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, azaleas, mangrove propagule, warped roots and crimson roots.
In Java Edition, flower pots can be placed on any block or over air.[1]
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. Pots may also be placed on an upward facing trapdoor, although the pot breaks if the trapdoor is opened.
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 fungus can be removed from the flower pot by pressing use. This places the item directly back into the player's inventory.[2]
They can be used to display cacti and wither roses without inheriting their damaging properties.[3][4]
Potted warped fungus can be used to repel hoglins.
