Botany | | Dutch term or phrase: ompot | I am currently working on a botanical/horticultural translation, and am struggling with the above term.
The context is as follows:
"Aan de [...] Market Publieksprijs is dit jaar een nieuwe categorie toegevoegd: ‘Toegevoegde waarde’. Bezoekers van de [...] Market brengen nu niet alleen hun stem uit op de beste nieuwe bloem en de beste nieuwe plant maar ook op de beste toepassing van toegevoegde waarde. Hiermee wordt bedoeld de fysieke waarde zoals een hoes, steker of ompot, ofwel de waarde die wordt toegevoegd door het product op opvallende wijze onder een conceptnaam (opnieuw) in de markt te zetten.
All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be rewarded within 72 hours.
Many thanks,
Pikey |

| | outer pot | Explanation:
I agree with Willemina that what's meant here is probably 'buitenpot'.
My suggestion would be to translate the term as 'outer pot' or perhaps even 'ornamental pot' to distinguish it from the common red flowerpot.
This beautiful Amaryllis pot has an amazing feature, it's self watering! It's actually 2 pots in one (see below), an inner pot which holds the soil and bulb and an outer pot, which holds the water. The inner pot is porous, so the water in the outer pot slowly seeps into the inner pot, keeping the soil moist at all times.

Winter care :- after the second flush of flowers is past (say May/June) cut back the old flowering stems to within 5cm of the base of the plant, remove the plant (still in the planter bag) from the outer pot and placed in a cool area, but where it will receive some sun. Water only enough to keep the mix barely damp and keep the slug pellets going. Your plant should then lie fairly dormant until early spring and, as new growth appears side dress with three month, high nitrogen fertiliser again, increase watering and place the planter bag back in the ornamental pot. During those winter months it is important to keep the plant as cool as possible as winter chilling is beneficial to delphiniums. Add another teaspoon of lime.

5 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 flower pot, planter?
Explanation:
Ik heb het gevoel dat hier een buitenpot wordt bedoeld, dus flowerpot, pot of planter zouden wellicht mogelijkheden kunnen zijn?

16 mins confidence: tub, flowerpot
Explanation:
'Ompot' just denotes that this is the pot that goes over the plastic covering that plants are grown in, so something decorative
'Er komt een nieuwe knop onder in de plant maar deze rolt niet open, wat nu te doen?
Waarschijnlijk is de luchtvochtigheid in de huiskamer te laag voor uw Anthurium. U kunt dit voor een deel oplossen door de potkluit aan de bovenkant iets natter te houden. Daarnaast kunt u een schotel ondersteboven in de OMPOT zetten zodat de Anthurium niet meer op de bodem van de OMPOT staat en giet u vervolgens water op de bodem van de ompot. Op deze manier heeft uw Anthurium altijd een goede luchtvochtigheid en zullen de knoppen uitgroeien tot mooie bloemen. Zorg er wel voor dat dit laagje water steeds aangevuld wordt'
