[0024] Example

[0025] It can only be placed on basins of a fixed size and cannot be adjusted to fit basins of different diameters. Furthermore, it cannot be folded and stored when not in use, resulting in a large space occupied when not in use.

[0026] Therefore, please refer to Figures 1-3. This utility model provides a device for potted plants, including: a central support rod 1 and four outer support rods 14. The length of the outer support rods 14 is greater than the length of the central support rod 1. A second support seat 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the central support rod 1. A first support seat 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of the central support rod 1 below the second support seat 13. The bottom ends of the first support seat 12 and the second support seat 13 are all connected to the corresponding outer support rods 14 through adjustable folding components 2.

[0027] Rubber anti-slip pads are fixed to the bottom of the outer support rod 14 and the bottom of the middle support rod 1.

[0028] Further, as shown in Figures 1-3, it is worth noting that, in order to enable the device to be adjusted for placement with basins of different diameters and to be folded away for storage when not in use to reduce space occupation, an adjustable folding component 2 is provided, including an L-shaped connecting rod 21 and an inverted L-shaped adjusting rod 22. The vertical cross-section of the inverted L-shaped adjusting rod 22 is I-shaped, and the inverted L-shaped adjusting rod 22 slides in an adjusting groove opened on the L-shaped connecting rod 21. The vertical cross-section of the adjusting groove is I-shaped. One end of the L-shaped connecting rod 21 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 24. The first groove 25 at the bottom of the first support seat 12 or the second support seat 13 rotates, and the end of the inverted L-shaped adjusting rod 22 away from the second rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the second groove at the top of the support block 26 through the first rotating shaft 23. The support block 26 is fixed to the outer wall of the outer support rod 14. The vertical section of the support block 26 is L-shaped. A hand screw 27 is threaded on one side wall of the L-shaped connecting rod 21.
