Question
Hello, Is it permissible to remove a vase with real flowers from the table on Shabbat if it is obstructing the seating at the table?
Answer
Good week
It is permissible to place the vase on the floor.
[This is not similar to a potted plant, where proximity to the floor increases its nourishment, as cut flowers no longer draw nourishment. Even flowers that have not opened, which are prohibited from being placed in water on Shabbat, only the water contributes to their growth, not nourishment from the ground]
