[0029] When in use, different potted plants are placed on the two placement trays 2 in sequence, and the mobile base 1 is moved outdoors or indoors as needed, and then water is poured into the water storage tank 3 or rainwater is collected. At the same time, the water is filtered by the filtering mechanism to prevent foreign particles from affecting the drainage of the water storage tank 3. Then, the irrigation head at the bottom of the irrigation pipe 10 and the detection end of the soil moisture sensor 4 are inserted or buried in the potted plants, and at the same time, the driving part is controlled to drive the pressure sensor 9 to rise and fall according to the water demand of different potted plants, so that it coincides with the quantitative scale line on the quantitative cylinder 5. If the soil moisture sensor 4 detects that the moisture content of the potted soil is lower than the set threshold, the pressure sensor 9 is controlled to rise and fall according to the water demand of different potted plants.
