==Potted plants== | |||
# If one has an indoor plant one may not open the curtains in order to allow the plant to get sunlight. Similarly it’s forbidden to open a window near a plant in order to improve the ventilation for the plant. However, it is permitted to open the curtains or open a window if it is done in order to brighten or ventilate the room and the plant only benefits indirectly. <Ref>39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat, vol 2, pg 274) </ref> | |||
# If is forbidden to move a potted plant onto soil or grass nor may one hang a potted plant above soil or grass. <Ref>39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat, vol 2, pg 275). See Mishna Brurah 336:34. </ref> | |||
# Many authorities forbid handling a potted plant on Shabbat even if it doesn’t improve it’s growth, while some are lenient. <Ref>39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat, vol 2, pg 275) quotes Shevitat Shabbat (Kotzer 5) and that he heard in the name of Rav Moshe Feinstein that potted plants are Muktzeh, however, he adds that it seems from other sources that it wouldn’t be an issue.</ref> | |||
# If a potted plant fell over one may sweep the dirt but one may not put it back into the plant pot. <Ref>39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat, vol 2, pg 276) based on Mishna Brurah 337:12 and Biur Halacha 337 D”h VeYesh </ref> | |||

# If it rained and water collected on a Sukkah covering (shlock) and by removing the covering the water will spill onto grass it is only permitted to remove the cover if the grass is fully saturated (such as after it rained steadily for a long time and the ground hasn’t begun to dry). However, if the grass isn’t fully saturated one may not remove the covering if by doing so one will spill rainwater on the grass. <ref>39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat, vol 2, pg 268-70) </ref> | # If it rained and water collected on a Sukkah covering (shlock) and by removing the covering the water will spill onto grass it is only permitted to remove the cover if the grass is fully saturated (such as after it rained steadily for a long time and the ground hasn’t begun to dry).
