Questions & Answers about uekibachi no mizuukezara, jouro, kirifuki o junbishita.

How would this sentence normally be written in Japanese?

Normally, it would be written without spaces:

植木鉢の水受け皿、じょうろ、霧吹きを準備した。

The spaces in your version are just there to make it easier for learners to see the parts.

Is 植木鉢の水受け皿 one item or two separate items?

It is most naturally understood as one item: the saucer / drip tray for a flowerpot.

So the full list has three things:

• 植木鉢の水受け皿
• じょうろ
• 霧吹き

If you wanted to say flowerpot and saucer as two separate items, you would normally say something like 植木鉢と水受け皿.

What does の mean in 植木鉢の水受け皿?

Here, の links two nouns.

植木鉢の水受け皿 means something like:

• the water-catching saucer for a flowerpot
• the flowerpot’s saucer

This の does not have to mean strict ownership. It often shows a broad relationship such as:

• possession
• category
• purpose
• connection

So here it is better understood as the saucer associated with / used for a flowerpot.
