8. Plant pot arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein at least one of the longitudinal struts ( 45 ; 45 a ) is configured as a reinforcement strut ( 26 ; 26 a ) for reinforcing the inset container ( 3 ; 3 a ).
9. Plant pot arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the insert container ( 3 ; 3 a ) and the at least one handle ( 24 ; 24 a ) are made of plastics material.
10. Plant pot arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein at least one push-fit fitting ( 49 ) positioned on the at least one handle ( 24 a ) is provided for positioning the at least one handle ( 24 a ) in the handle guide ( 25 a ).
11. Plant pot arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one handle ( 24 ; 24 a ) has at least one cross-bar ( 29 ; 29 a ) for restricting the movement in the pull-out direction ( 23 ), and the at least one cross-bar comprises a first cross-bar ( 28 ; 28 a ) and a second cross-bar ( 29 ; 29 a ) parallel to said first cross-bar, said first and second cross-bars being integrally connected with a first longitudinal bar ( 30 ; 30 a ) and a second longitudinal bar ( 31 ; 31 a ) extending parallel to the first longitudinal bar ( 30 ; 30 a ), substantially forming a rectangle.
12. Plant pot arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the edge ( 16 ; 16 a ) and two opposite container side walls ( 12 , 14 ; 12 a , 14 a ) have in each case a centrally located recess ( 22 ; 22 a ) for receiving the handles ( 24 ; 24 a ).
13. Plant pot arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one handle ( 24 ; 24 a ) has at least one longitudinal bar ( 30 , 31 ; 30 a , 31 a ) extending in the pull-out direction ( 23 ) and received in the handle guide ( 25 ; 25 a ), wherein the handle guide ( 25 ; 25 a ) is formed by a side wall ( 12 ; 12 a ) of the container, a guide plate ( 44 ; 44 a ) extending parallel and at a distance to the container side wall ( 12 ; 12 a ) and two longitudinal struts ( 45 ; 45 a ) extending between the container side wall ( 12 ; 12 a ) and the guide plate ( 44 ; 44 a ) obliquely thereto.
14. Plant pot arrangement according to claim 13 , further comprising a guide reinforcement ( 47 ; 47 a ) extending between the container side wall ( 12 , 12 a ) and the guide plate ( 44 , 44 a ) and positioned between the two longitudinal struts ( 45 ; 45 a ), and wherein the longitudinal struts ( 45 , 45 a ) and the guide reinforcement ( 47 ; 47 a ) are each flush with the side wall ( 12 ; 12 a ) of the container and the guide plate ( 44 ; 44 a ).
