       5 . The flowerpot for arranging flowers and growing plants as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a flower support device for stably holding and supporting flowers or plants. 
   
   
       6 . The flowerpot for arranging flowers and growing plants as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the flower support device is a rotatable ball connection/support device having a plurality of rotatable ball rows connected to one another in a knot type, each rotatable ball row having a number of rotatable balls connected to one another by a flexible connection member, the rotatable balls having a through-hole extending through a center of the rotatable balls. 
   
   
       7 . The flowerpot for arranging flowers and growing plants as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the multi-functional support member has a bolt-type fixing member integrally formed on a bottom surface of the internal container and a number of support rods coupled to the fixing member, and each support rod has a nut portion positioned on a lower side so that the support rod is fixed to a side of the fixing member or of a different support rod and a bolt portion positioned on an upper side so that the support rod is fixed to a different side of a different support rod. 
   
   
       8 . The flowerpot for arranging flowers and growing plants as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the multi-functional support member has a number of support members positioned about a center of a bottom surface of the internal container at an equiangular interval, each support member being coupled to a fixing member in a upright position, the fixing member being fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the internal container. 
   
   
       9 . The flowerpot for arranging flowers and growing plants as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein a rotatable ball connection/support device is fixedly wound around the support members and stacked in a plurality of layers.
