A flexible support and lifting mechanism is provided for potted plants. The support and lifting mechanism allows a potted plant, such as a potted plant contained in a nursery pot, to be safely and easily placed in or removed from a decorative planter. A mesh bag having a net-like structure encases the sides and the bottom of the nursery pot. The mesh bag includes handles formed from an upper portion of the net-like structure. The handles may also be separately formed and attached to the mesh bag, or the upper portion of the net-like structure may be used for grasping and lifting the mesh bag. The mesh bag is preferably made of a water and sunlight resistant material and may be colored to reduce its visibility in use.
