Question
Is it permissible to move a flowerpot on Shabbat, to take it down or return it to the table, or to place it on a high stand intended for the pot, and the like?
Answer
It is not permissible to move a flowerpot on Shabbat from a place where there might be more or less nourishment, such as elevating it on a stand and detaching it from the ground, or placing it on the table or alternatively taking it down from the table. This applies even if it is moved indirectly by another object, and there is no prohibition of muktzeh.
