The 25L Round Plant Pot is a large black horticultural grow pot designed for established plants, larger nursery stock, vegetables, shrubs and productive container crops. Measuring approximately 39cm across the upper rim, 31cm across the base and 28.5cm high, it provides a generous 25 litre root volume while retaining a practical, easy-to-manage round format.
A 25 litre container gives established plants considerably more room for root development than standard nursery pots. The larger substrate volume provides increased reserves of moisture and nutrients and creates a more buffered root environment for vigorous or longer-term crops.
The broad 39cm opening provides excellent access for watering, feeding, mulching and top dressing, while the tapered round profile makes the pot suitable for professional nursery production, greenhouses, polytunnels, indoor growing and outdoor horticulture.
Drainage openings in the base allow excess irrigation water to escape, helping maintain the balance between moisture and oxygen required around healthy roots.
Suitable for peat-based and peat-free compost, soil, living soil, coco coir and other horticultural growing media, the 25L Round Pot is a versatile option for both commercial growers and home gardeners.
Why choose the 25L Round Plant Pot?
- 25 litre capacity - generous root volume for established and vigorous plants.
- 39cm upper rim - broad surface area for watering, feeding, mulching and top dressing.
- 28.5cm height - substantial growing depth without creating an excessively tall container.
- 31cm base - broad footprint provides good stability for larger plants.
- Large growing volume - increased substrate reserve helps buffer moisture and nutrient availability.
- Classic round design - versatile format for professional and home horticulture.
- Tapered profile - practical for handling and allows empty pots to nest for storage.
- Good drainage - base openings allow excess irrigation water to escape.
- Excellent finishing size - suitable for many larger nursery and productive crops.
- Ideal for living soil - provides useful soil volume and a large top-dressing surface.
- Suitable for coco - compatible with coco coir and coco-based growing media.
- Indoor & outdoor use - suitable for nurseries, greenhouses, polytunnels, grow rooms and gardens.
- Reusable - sound pots can be cleaned and reused across multiple growing cycles.
- Matching saucer available - fits the 40cm Pot Saucer, product code P00082.
Generous 25 litre root volume
A 25L container provides substantial space for an established root system to develop. This makes it particularly useful for plants that have outgrown medium-sized nursery containers or require a larger final growing volume.
More growing medium also provides a greater reserve of water and nutrients than a small pot. This can reduce the speed at which the entire root zone dries, although irrigation demand will still vary significantly according to crop size, substrate, temperature and environmental conditions.
For many container-grown crops, 25L can serve as a practical final pot. Very large, vigorous or long-lived plants may eventually require additional root volume.
25L Round Pot dimensions
The pot measures approximately 39cm across the upper rim, 31cm across the base and 28.5cm high.
Its broad 39cm opening provides a substantial surface area for irrigation and makes it easy to apply compost, mulch, worm castings, dry fertilisers and other top-dress amendments.
The 31cm base creates a useful footprint for stability while the tapered sides allow empty pots to nest together for more efficient storage.
What can you grow in a 25L pot?
Twenty-five litres provides enough root volume for a wide range of larger and more vigorous container-grown plants. Typical applications include:
- Tomatoes
- Chillies and peppers
- Aubergines
- Larger herbs
- Shrubs
- Large herbaceous perennials
- Climbing plants
- Fruit plants
- Young trees
- Ornamental plants
- Greenhouse and indoor crops
- Larger nursery stock
The appropriate container size always depends on the species, expected mature size, crop duration and growing method, but 25L provides substantial capacity for many productive and ornamental crops.
Excellent for living soil growing
The 25L capacity makes this pot particularly useful for growers working with living soil and biologically active growing media.
Compared with small containers, the larger soil volume provides more physical space for roots and a larger reservoir of moisture, organic matter and biological activity.
The broad surface is also convenient for adding mulch, compost, worm castings and dry organic amendments during the crop.
For larger plants or long-duration living soil systems, even greater soil volumes may provide additional buffering, but 25L offers a useful balance between root-zone volume and container manageability.
Suitable growing media
The 25L Round Plant Pot can be used with a wide range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Living soil
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Compost-based organic mixes
- Other suitable horticultural substrates
Watering and feeding practices should be matched to the selected substrate. A moisture-retentive compost or living soil mix behaves differently from a highly aerated coco-perlite substrate.
Drainage & irrigation
Drainage openings in the base allow excess irrigation water or nutrient solution to leave the pot rather than remaining trapped around the lower root zone.
Effective drainage is particularly important in a larger container because 25 litres of growing medium can retain a substantial quantity of water. Healthy roots require access to both moisture and oxygen.
When a plant has recently been moved into a 25L pot, its roots may initially occupy only part of the new growing medium. Irrigation should therefore be adjusted to root development rather than automatically saturating the entire container on a fixed schedule.
The pot can be used with hand watering, drip irrigation and other compatible nursery or greenhouse irrigation systems.
Fits the 40cm Pot Saucer
The 25L Round Plant Pot is compatible with the 40cm Pot Saucer, product code P00082.
The matching saucer measures approximately 41cm across the rim, 37.5cm across the base and 6cm high.
A saucer is particularly useful when the pot is positioned indoors, in a greenhouse or on a surface where irrigation runoff needs to be contained.
In outdoor or free-draining nursery areas, a saucer may not be required.
Ideal for nursery & greenhouse production
The 25L Round Pot provides commercial growers with substantial growing volume while remaining considerably easier to handle than very large tubs and planters.
It is suitable for growing larger nursery specimens, shrubs, productive greenhouse crops and plants that need a substantial final container before sale or planting out.
The simple black horticultural finish provides a clean professional presentation for plants destined for garden centres, landscapers and direct retail.
When should you move a plant into a 25L pot?
Potting-on should be determined by root development and plant requirements rather than following a fixed timetable.
A plant is generally ready for more container volume once its roots have established well through the existing growing medium, the current pot is drying increasingly quickly or the plant requires greater physical stability and root space.
Avoid placing a very small plant directly into 25 litres of wet substrate unnecessarily. Progressive potting can make irrigation management easier while the root system develops.
Practical & reusable
Pots that remain in sound condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
Remove old growing medium and root debris before cleaning. Appropriate hygiene between crops can help reduce the risk of transferring pests or plant pathogens.
The tapered profile allows empty containers to nest together, reducing the storage space required between growing cycles.

What can you grow in a 10L pot?
A 10 litre plant pot provides enough growing-medium volume for a wide range of established edible and ornamental plants. Typical applications include:
- Chilli and pepper plants
- Compact tomato varieties
- Aubergines
- Established herbs
- Strawberries and other soft fruit plants
- Herbaceous perennials
- Ornamental flowering plants
- Young shrubs
- Climbing plants
- General nursery stock
Whether 10L is suitable as the final container depends on the species, variety, vigour and intended growing period. Large or particularly vigorous plants may eventually require a larger pot.
A practical potting-on container
The 10L Round Pot is particularly useful as a growing-on container for plants that have established thoroughly in smaller pots.
Moving into a larger volume gives the developing root system access to additional growing medium, moisture and nutrients. Plants should generally be potted-on when the existing root system has developed sufficiently to hold the root ball together without being left excessively root-bound.
After transplanting, water appropriately to settle the fresh substrate around the existing root ball and adjust subsequent irrigation to the size of the developing root system.
Suitable growing media
The 10L Round Plant Pot can be used with a wide range of horticultural growing media, including:
- Peat-free compost
- Peat-based nursery substrates
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Compost-based growing media
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite mixes
- Living soil
- Other suitable professional horticultural substrates
Always select a substrate suited to the crop and cultivation method. The balance between moisture retention, drainage and air-filled porosity is important for maintaining a healthy root environment.
Watering plants in a 10L pot
Irrigation frequency should be based on the plant, root development, growing medium and environmental conditions rather than container size alone.
Immediately after potting-on, the roots may occupy only part of the new 10 litre volume. Avoid repeatedly saturating a large volume of unrooted growing medium. As the root system expands and the plant develops, water demand will normally increase.
The pot can be incorporated into hand-watered growing systems as well as appropriate drip and automated irrigation installations.
Fits the 30cm Pot Saucer
The 10L Round Plant Pot is listed for use with the 30cm saucer, product code P00019.
The compatible saucer measures approximately 31cm across the rim, 28cm across the base and 5cm high.
A saucer can help collect irrigation runoff and protect greenhouse benches, shelving, floors, patios and other surfaces around container-grown plants.
Unless the chosen growing system specifically requires it, avoid leaving the root zone permanently sitting in stagnant runoff.
Professional nursery & greenhouse pot
The combination of a useful 10 litre capacity and manageable footprint makes this pot suitable for commercial nursery production and growing-on established stock.
Its round, tapered format allows plants to be repositioned easily as spacing requirements change. As crops become larger, increasing the distance between pots where necessary can improve airflow, light penetration and access for irrigation and maintenance.
Empty pots can also be nested together, helping reduce the storage space required between production cycles.
Reusable horticultural grow pot
Pots that remain in good condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for future plants.
Remove old growing medium and root debris before cleaning. When pots are being reused between different crops, appropriate hygiene procedures can help reduce the transfer of pests and plant pathogens.

- Reusable - robust enough to clean and reuse when handled appropriately.
Square pots make better use of growing space
One of the main advantages of a square plant pot is the efficient use of available floor or bench space.
Round pots naturally leave gaps between neighbouring containers. Square pots can be arranged much more closely, allowing growers to make better use of propagation benches, greenhouse staging, grow-room floors and other production areas.
This becomes increasingly useful when managing larger quantities of plants, where even small improvements in spacing can make a significant difference to the overall capacity of a growing area.
The regular square footprint also makes it easier to organise plants into neat rows for irrigation, maintenance, movement and crop management.
6.5 litres of practical root volume
A 6.5L pot provides considerably more growing-medium volume than smaller propagation and early-stage containers while remaining compact enough for efficient plant spacing.
This makes it useful as an intermediate or finishing container for a wide variety of plants, depending on species, crop duration and required final plant size.
The relatively deep profile provides useful vertical root space, while the drainage openings help prevent excess irrigation water from remaining trapped at the bottom of the container.
Suitable growing media
The 6.5L Square Pot can be used with a wide range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-based potting compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Soil-based growing media
- Living soil
- Other free-draining horticultural substrates
Irrigation frequency should always be matched to the growing medium, plant size, environmental conditions and stage of development.
Ideal for professional horticulture & home growing
The straightforward design makes this pot suitable for a broad range of growing environments.
Nurseries & commercial growers
Square pots help maximise bench and production-space utilisation while providing a durable container that is easy to handle and arrange.
Greenhouses & polytunnels
The 6.5L capacity provides useful root volume without requiring the footprint of a much larger finishing pot.
Indoor growing
Square containers make particularly efficient use of enclosed growing areas where available floor space is limited.
Gardens, patios & allotments
The pot is equally suitable for general container gardening, vegetables, herbs, ornamentals and other appropriate crops.
Drainage & irrigation
Drainage openings in the base allow excess water and nutrient solution to leave the growing medium rather than remaining trapped around the lower root zone.
Effective drainage is particularly important with frequently irrigated crops and free-draining substrates such as coco.
Where runoff needs to be collected, the pot can be positioned over a suitably sized plant saucer, drainage tray or irrigation collection system.
Never assume that a larger pot automatically needs more frequent irrigation. Watering should be based on the moisture content of the substrate, root development and crop demand.
Strong, practical & reusable
These square pots are manufactured for practical growing rather than decorative use. Their robust plastic construction allows them to withstand the routine handling associated with potting, moving, irrigation and crop maintenance.
After a crop has finished, sound pots can be emptied, cleaned and reused. Where pots are being transferred between crops, appropriate cleaning and hygiene procedures should be followed to avoid carrying root debris, pests or pathogens from one crop to another.

What is a square round plant pot?
A square round pot combines a broadly square upper profile with a tapered lower section that transitions towards a rounded base.
This design is widely used in professional horticulture because it offers a useful balance between space efficiency, strength, drainage and handling.
The square upper section means neighbouring pots can be positioned more closely than conventional round containers. This helps growers make better use of greenhouse benches, nursery beds, transport areas and retail displays.
The tapered lower profile also allows empty pots to nest together efficiently, reducing the amount of storage space required between production runs.
A premium pot for repeated horticultural use
The key difference between a premium nursery pot and a lightweight disposable container is rigidity.
A stronger injection-moulded style of pot maintains its shape more effectively when filled with wet growing media, picked up repeatedly or moved around a nursery or greenhouse.
Strong shoulders around the upper section provide additional rigidity, making the container easier to handle when filled with compost and an established plant.
This makes the 3L Premium Square Round Pot particularly useful where containers need to survive more than a single short production stage.
Professional drainage for healthy root development
Good drainage is essential in container horticulture because roots require both moisture and oxygen.
The Premium 3L Square Round Pot incorporates multiple drainage openings across the base. Its multi-level drainage arrangement helps water escape even when the container is standing directly on a relatively flat surface.
This makes the pot suitable for conventional hand watering as well as many drip and automated irrigation systems.
Irrigation frequency should always be adjusted according to the crop, substrate, root development, temperature and environmental conditions rather than simply according to pot size.
Suitable growing media
The 3L Square Round Pot can be used with a wide range of professional and general-purpose horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Living soil
- Other free-draining horticultural substrates
Always match irrigation and nutrition to the chosen growing medium and crop rather than treating all substrates in the same way.
What can you grow in a 3L pot?
Three litres is one of the most versatile sizes in professional plant production. The correct final pot size depends on the species and intended finishing size, but typical applications include:
- Herbaceous perennials
- Summer bedding plants
- Herbs
- Young shrubs
- Climbing plants
- Roses and young ornamental plants
- Tomatoes
- Peppers and chillies
- Cucumbers
- Nursery stock and growing-on crops
Larger or longer-lived crops may eventually require potting-on into a larger container as their root systems develop.
Designed for efficient nursery production
Commercial growers need pots that work efficiently throughout the entire production process rather than simply holding compost.
The square-round format allows plants to be arranged in regular rows, making crop spacing, irrigation, handling and stock management straightforward.
Efficient spacing also matters during transport. A more compact arrangement can make better use of trolleys, benches and other production areas compared with conventional round pots of a similar capacity.
The clean black finish provides a professional appearance suitable for both growing and retail presentation.
Reusable & easy to handle
The rigid construction allows these pots to be reused when they remain in good condition.
After a crop has finished, remove old substrate and root material before cleaning the container. Where pots are being transferred between crops, appropriate hygiene and disinfection procedures should be followed to reduce the risk of transferring pests or plant pathogens.
When empty, the tapered pots nest together for compact storage.

The 32L Round Plant Pot is a large, robust black horticultural container providing generous root volume for established plants, shrubs, vegetables and longer-term container crops. With a 42cm top diameter and 30cm height, it offers substantially more growing-medium volume than standard nursery pots while remaining straightforward to handle and irrigate.
Its traditional tapered round profile makes this a versatile pot for professional nurseries, greenhouses, polytunnels, indoor growing and outdoor horticulture. The wide upper opening provides plenty of surface area for irrigation and top dressing, while the broad base helps keep larger plants stable.
The 32 litre capacity provides an extensive root zone for plants that have outgrown smaller production pots. This additional substrate volume can support larger root systems, provide greater moisture and nutrient reserves and reduce the restrictions associated with undersized containers.
Base drainage openings allow excess irrigation water to escape, helping maintain an appropriate balance between moisture and air within the root zone.
Suitable for soil, peat-based and peat-free compost, coco coir, living soil and other horticultural growing media, this is a practical large-format pot for both commercial and home growers.
Why choose the 32L Round Plant Pot?
- Large 32 litre capacity - provides substantial growing-medium volume for established plants.
- 42cm top diameter - generous surface area makes watering, feeding and top dressing straightforward.
- 30cm high - provides useful root depth without creating an excessively tall container.
- Broad 35cm base - provides a stable footprint for larger plants.
- Robust horticultural construction - designed for practical nursery and growing applications.
- Good drainage - base openings allow excess irrigation water and nutrient solution to escape.
- Suitable for larger crops - useful for shrubs, vegetables, ornamentals and established container plants.
- Excellent potting-on size - provides a substantial step up from medium-sized nursery containers.
- Suitable for living soil - 32L provides considerably more biological soil volume than small containers.
- Suitable for coco - compatible with coco coir and coco-based growing media.
- Indoor & outdoor use - suitable for nurseries, greenhouses, polytunnels, grow rooms, patios and gardens.
- Reusable - sound pots can be cleaned and reused between crop cycles.
- Matching saucer available - designed to pair with the 40cm saucer, product code P00082.
Generous 32 litre root volume
Container volume has a significant influence on how much space is available for roots, water and growing media.
At 32 litres, this pot provides considerably more root-zone volume than typical intermediate nursery containers. It is therefore useful for established plants that require more room to develop or crops intended to remain in the same container for an extended period.
More substrate also provides a larger reservoir of moisture and nutrients. This can make the root environment more buffered against rapid changes than a very small container, although irrigation frequency must still be matched to plant demand and environmental conditions.
The relatively wide profile is particularly useful where a generous root volume is wanted without using an excessively deep container.
32L Round Pot dimensions
The pot measures approximately 42cm across the upper rim, 35cm across the base and 30cm high.
Its 42cm upper diameter provides a generous surface area, making it easy to irrigate evenly and providing plenty of room for surface amendments, mulches and dry fertiliser top dressings.
The 35cm base creates a broad footprint that helps provide stability when supporting larger plants and heavier growing media.
A useful size for living soil growing
Larger containers are particularly useful for living soil because they provide more physical space for roots and a greater volume of biologically active growing medium.
At 32L, this pot offers significantly more soil volume than small conventional plant pots, making it suitable for growers using biologically managed substrates, organic amendments and microbial inoculants.
The wide surface also makes it straightforward to apply compost, worm castings, mulch and dry top-dress products before watering them into the upper soil profile.
Whether 32L is sufficient as a final living soil container will depend on the crop, its size and the intended cultivation method.
Suitable growing media
The 32L Round Pot can be used with a broad range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Living soil
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Compost-based organic mixes
- Other suitable free-draining horticultural substrates
Always adjust irrigation and nutrition to the physical characteristics of the chosen substrate. A 32L container filled with moisture-retentive compost will behave very differently from the same pot filled with a highly aerated coco and perlite blend.
What can you grow in a 32L pot?
A 32 litre container is suitable for a broad range of established plants and larger container crops. Typical applications include:
- Shrubs and ornamental plants
- Large perennials
- Tomatoes and other productive vegetable crops
- Peppers and chillies
- Aubergines
- Climbing plants
- Young trees and larger nursery stock where appropriate
- Longer-term container plants
- Living soil cultivation
- Large indoor and greenhouse crops
The correct final container size depends on the species, expected mature size, crop duration and growing method.
Drainage & irrigation
Drainage openings in the base allow excess irrigation water to escape rather than remaining trapped around the lower root zone.
With a larger container it is particularly important to irrigate according to the moisture content of the growing medium rather than following a fixed schedule. A newly transplanted plant may initially occupy only a small proportion of the available substrate and can use water much more slowly than a fully established plant.
As the root system develops through the 32L volume, irrigation can be adjusted according to increasing crop demand.
The pot can be used with hand watering, drip irrigation and other suitable automated irrigation systems.
Fits the 40cm Pot Saucer
This 32L Round Pot is designed to pair with the 40cm Pot Saucer, product code P00082.
The matching saucer measures approximately 41cm across the rim, 37.5cm across the base and 6cm high.
Using a saucer is particularly useful indoors, in greenhouses or on protected surfaces where irrigation runoff needs to be contained or managed.
Where plants are being grown outdoors or within a free-draining commercial irrigation system, a saucer may not be necessary.
Reusable for multiple growing cycles
The robust horticultural construction makes the 32L Round Pot suitable for repeated use when the container remains in good condition.
Between crops, remove old growing media and root debris before cleaning the pot. Where containers are being reused for different plants or production cycles, appropriate hygiene procedures can help reduce the transfer of pests and plant pathogens.
The tapered profile also allows empty pots to nest together, reducing the amount of storage space required.

Generous 30 litre root volume
Larger plants need sufficient growing-medium volume to support their developing root systems. A 30L pot provides considerably more root space than smaller nursery and intermediate containers.
This additional volume gives roots more growing medium to explore while also increasing the amount of water and nutrition that can be held within the container.
The result is a useful potting-on or finishing size for many vigorous plants, particularly where crops will remain in the same container for an extended period.
A larger container does not automatically mean more frequent watering. Newly transplanted plants may initially use only a small proportion of the available moisture, so irrigation should always reflect actual root development and crop demand.
30L Round Pot dimensions
The pot measures approximately 42cm across the upper rim, 32.5cm across the base and 30cm high.
The 42cm upper diameter creates a broad surface that is easy to irrigate evenly and provides plenty of room for surface amendments such as compost, worm castings, mulch and granular or powdered fertilisers.
Its 32.5cm base provides a stable footprint while retaining the tapered profile needed for efficient handling and nesting when pots are empty.
Suitable for living soil growing
The 30L capacity makes this pot particularly useful for growers wanting more biologically active soil volume than is available in conventional small containers.
Larger soil volumes provide more physical space for roots and soil biology while creating a greater reserve of moisture, organic matter and plant-available nutrition.
The wide 42cm surface also provides good access for adding compost, worm castings, mulch and dry amendments throughout the growing cycle.
Whether 30L is suitable as a final living soil container depends on the crop, expected plant size and growing method. Larger or particularly demanding plants may benefit from still greater soil volumes.
Suitable growing media
The 30L Round Pot can be used with a broad range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Living soil
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Compost-based organic mixes
- Other suitable free-draining horticultural substrates
Irrigation and nutrition should always be matched to the chosen substrate. A moisture-retentive compost will require a different watering strategy from a highly aerated coco or coco-perlite mix.
What can you grow in a 30L pot?
A 30 litre container provides sufficient root volume for a broad range of established plants and productive crops. Typical applications include:
- Shrubs and ornamental plants
- Large herbaceous perennials
- Tomatoes
- Peppers and chillies
- Aubergines
- Climbing plants
- Suitable young trees and nursery stock
- Longer-term container plants
- Living soil cultivation
- Large greenhouse and indoor crops
The correct final container size will depend on plant species, crop duration, expected mature size and cultivation method.
Drainage & irrigation
Drainage openings in the base allow excess irrigation water and nutrient solution to escape rather than remaining trapped around the lower root zone.
Good drainage is particularly important in large containers because an excessive volume of saturated growing medium can remain wet for considerably longer than a small pot.
After potting-on, irrigation should initially be matched to the size of the existing root ball. As roots establish throughout the 30L volume, the wetted area and irrigation volume can be increased accordingly.
The pot can be used with hand watering, drip irrigation and other suitable automated irrigation systems.
Fits the 40cm Pot Saucer
The 30L Round Pot is compatible with the 40cm Pot Saucer, product code P00082.
The matching saucer measures approximately 41cm across the rim, 37.5cm across the base and 6cm high.
A saucer is useful where irrigation runoff needs to be collected, particularly in indoor growing areas, greenhouses and on protected surfaces.
When used outdoors or in a free-draining commercial production area, a saucer may not be required.
Robust & reusable
The practical horticultural construction allows sound pots to be reused over multiple growing cycles.
After use, remove old substrate and root material before cleaning the container. Where pots are being moved between crops, suitable hygiene procedures should be followed to reduce the risk of transferring pests or plant pathogens.
The tapered round profile also allows empty pots to nest inside one another for more efficient storage and transport.

A versatile 3 litre growing volume
A 3L pot provides significantly more root volume than small propagation and early-stage containers while remaining compact enough for efficient plant spacing.
This makes it particularly useful for growing-on established young plants. Moving a plant into a suitably larger container gives developing roots additional growing medium to explore without immediately placing a small root system into an unnecessarily large volume of wet substrate.
For many nursery crops, 3L is also a convenient retail and finishing size. For larger or more vigorous plants, it can instead serve as an intermediate stage before moving into a larger container.
3L Round Pot dimensions
The pot measures approximately 18.5cm across the upper rim, 14cm across the base and 15cm high.
These proportions create a compact horticultural container with useful root volume while maintaining a manageable footprint for greenhouse benches, nursery beds and indoor growing areas.
The tapered sides also allow empty pots to nest inside one another, making storage and handling considerably more efficient.
Suitable growing media
The 3L Round Plant Pot can be used with a broad range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-based potting compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Living soil
- Other suitable horticultural substrates
Irrigation frequency should always be adjusted to suit the crop and substrate. Free-draining coco behaves very differently from a moisture-retentive compost, even when both are used in the same size container.
What can you grow in a 3L pot?
Three litres is a widely useful container size for growing-on and finishing smaller plants. Typical applications include:
- Herbaceous perennials
- Herbs
- Bedding and patio plants
- Young shrubs
- Young climbing plants
- Chillies and peppers
- Young tomato plants
- Strawberries
- Ornamental plants
- General nursery stock
Whether 3L is suitable as a final pot depends on the plant species, expected mature size and crop duration. Vigorous plants may eventually need potting-on again.
Drainage & root-zone management
Drainage openings in the base allow excess irrigation water to leave the container instead of remaining trapped around the lower roots.
Effective drainage helps maintain the combination of moisture and air required for healthy root development. It is particularly important when plants are frequently irrigated or grown in controlled greenhouse and indoor environments.
The pot can be used with hand watering, drip irrigation and other suitable nursery irrigation systems.
Avoid watering purely according to a fixed timetable. Plant size, root development, substrate, temperature, humidity and light levels all affect how quickly a 3L pot will dry.
Fits the 18cm Pot Saucer
The 3L Round Plant Pot is compatible with the 18cm Pot Saucer, product code P00103.
The matching saucer measures approximately 18.5cm across the rim, 16.5cm across the base and 3cm high.
A saucer is useful when the pot is used indoors, on greenhouse benches or on protected surfaces where irrigation runoff needs to be contained.
In outdoor or free-draining production areas, a saucer may not be necessary.
Ideal for nursery & greenhouse production
Three litre round pots are particularly useful in nursery production because they provide enough growing-medium volume for established young plants without requiring the space of much larger containers.
The manageable size makes plants easy to move, space, irrigate and prepare for sale, while the black horticultural finish provides a straightforward professional presentation.
The pot is also useful for home growers who want a functional growing container rather than a decorative planter.
Practical & reusable
Pots that remain in good condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for future crops.
Remove old substrate and root debris before cleaning. Where pots are being transferred between crops, appropriate hygiene procedures can help reduce the risk of carrying pests or plant pathogens into the next planting.
Empty pots can be nested together for compact storage between uses.

The compatible option is the 18cm Pot Saucer, product code P00103. It measures approximately 18.5cm across the rim, 16.5cm across the base and 3cm high.
Do I need a saucer underneath the pot?
A saucer is useful where runoff needs to be contained, particularly indoors or on protected surfaces. It is not essential where excess water can safely drain away.
Is this pot suitable for nursery production?
Yes. The 3L size is widely useful for growing-on nursery plants because it combines practical root volume with a compact, easy-to-handle container.
Can this pot be used outdoors?
Yes. It can be used outdoors as well as in greenhouses, polytunnels and indoor growing areas.
Can the 3L Round Pot be used with drip irrigation?
Yes. It is suitable for hand watering and compatible drip irrigation systems. Irrigation frequency should be adjusted to crop demand and substrate moisture.
Can the pot be reused?
Yes. Pots that remain in good condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused. Appropriate hygiene is recommended between crops.
Is 3L suitable as a final plant pot?
For many smaller plants it can be. Larger, vigorous or longer-lived crops may need to be moved into a larger container as their root systems develop.
The 3L Round Plant Pot is a practical black horticultural grow pot designed for nursery production, greenhouse growing, potting-on and general container cultivation. With an approximately 18.5cm upper rim, 14cm base and 15cm height, it provides a useful 3 litre root volume in a compact, easy-to-handle format.
Three litre pots are one of the most versatile sizes in horticulture, providing a useful intermediate step between small propagation containers and larger finishing pots. They are suitable for a wide range of perennials, herbs, vegetables, ornamentals and young nursery plants.
The tapered round profile makes the pot straightforward to handle and allows empty containers to nest efficiently for storage. A reinforced upper rim provides a practical gripping point when plants need to be moved around a nursery, greenhouse or growing area.
Drainage openings in the base allow excess irrigation water to escape, helping maintain an appropriate balance between moisture and oxygen within the root zone.
Suitable for peat-based and peat-free compost, soil, coco coir and other horticultural growing media, this 3L pot is equally useful for professional growers and home gardeners.

A versatile 3 litre growing volume
A 3L pot provides significantly more root volume than small propagation and early-stage containers while remaining compact enough for efficient plant spacing.
This makes it particularly useful for growing-on established young plants. Moving a plant into a suitably larger container gives developing roots additional growing medium to explore without immediately placing a small root system into an unnecessarily large volume of wet substrate.
For many nursery crops, 3L is also a convenient retail and finishing size. For larger or more vigorous plants, it can instead serve as an intermediate stage before moving into a larger container.
3L Round Pot dimensions
The pot measures approximately 18.5cm across the upper rim, 14cm across the base and 15cm high.
These proportions create a compact horticultural container with useful root volume while maintaining a manageable footprint for greenhouse benches, nursery beds and indoor growing areas.
The tapered sides also allow empty pots to nest inside one another, making storage and handling considerably more efficient.
Suitable growing media
The 3L Round Plant Pot can be used with a broad range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-based potting compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Living soil
- Other suitable horticultural substrates
Irrigation frequency should always be adjusted to suit the crop and substrate. Free-draining coco behaves very differently from a moisture-retentive compost, even when both are used in the same size container.
What can you grow in a 3L pot?
Three litres is a widely useful container size for growing-on and finishing smaller plants. Typical applications include:
- Herbaceous perennials
- Herbs
- Bedding and patio plants
- Young shrubs
- Young climbing plants
- Chillies and peppers
- Young tomato plants
- Strawberries
- Ornamental plants
- General nursery stock
Whether 3L is suitable as a final pot depends on the plant species, expected mature size and crop duration. Vigorous plants may eventually need potting-on again.
Drainage & root-zone management
Drainage openings in the base allow excess irrigation water to leave the container instead of remaining trapped around the lower roots.
Effective drainage helps maintain the combination of moisture and air required for healthy root development. It is particularly important when plants are frequently irrigated or grown in controlled greenhouse and indoor environments.
The pot can be used with hand watering, drip irrigation and other suitable nursery irrigation systems.
Avoid watering purely according to a fixed timetable. Plant size, root development, substrate, temperature, humidity and light levels all affect how quickly a 3L pot will dry.
Fits the 18cm Pot Saucer
The 3L Round Plant Pot is compatible with the 18cm Pot Saucer, product code P00103.
The matching saucer measures approximately 18.5cm across the rim, 16.5cm across the base and 3cm high.
A saucer is useful when the pot is used indoors, on greenhouse benches or on protected surfaces where irrigation runoff needs to be contained.
In outdoor or free-draining production areas, a saucer may not be necessary.
Ideal for nursery & greenhouse production
Three litre round pots are particularly useful in nursery production because they provide enough growing-medium volume for established young plants without requiring the space of much larger containers.
The manageable size makes plants easy to move, space, irrigate and prepare for sale, while the black horticultural finish provides a straightforward professional presentation.
The pot is also useful for home growers who want a functional growing container rather than a decorative planter.
Practical & reusable
Pots that remain in good condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for future crops.
Remove old substrate and root debris before cleaning. Where pots are being transferred between crops, appropriate hygiene procedures can help reduce the risk of carrying pests or plant pathogens into the next planting.
Empty pots can be nested together for compact storage between uses.

The 1L Round Plant Pot is a compact black horticultural grow pot designed for propagation, potting-on, nursery production and general plant cultivation. Measuring approximately 13cm across the upper rim, 9.5cm across the base and 11.5cm high, it provides a practical 1 litre root volume for young plants that have outgrown plugs, cells and smaller propagation pots.
One litre pots are widely used by professional growers as an early growing-on container. They provide developing root systems with additional substrate volume while maintaining a compact footprint that allows large numbers of plants to be accommodated efficiently on nursery and greenhouse benches.
The traditional tapered round design makes plants straightforward to handle and allows empty pots to nest together for efficient storage. A pronounced upper rim adds rigidity and provides a convenient point for lifting and moving the container.
Drainage openings in the base allow excess irrigation water to escape, helping maintain the balance of moisture and oxygen required around developing roots.
Suitable for peat-based and peat-free compost, soil, coco coir and other horticultural growing media, the 1L Round Pot is useful for commercial nurseries, propagation facilities, greenhouse production and home growing.
Why choose the 1L Round Plant Pot?
- 1 litre capacity - ideal for young plants and early-stage growing-on.
- 13cm upper rim - compact footprint for efficient nursery and greenhouse layouts.
- 11.5cm height - useful root depth for establishing young plants.

- Matching saucer available - fits the 14cm Pot Saucer, product code P00047.
Ideal for growing-on young plants
The 1L pot occupies an important position between propagation containers and larger nursery pots.
Once seedlings, cuttings and young plants have developed a healthy root system in their initial propagation container, moving into approximately one litre of fresh growing medium provides additional room for continued root and shoot development.
Progressive potting can also make irrigation easier to manage. Placing a very small root system directly into a much larger container can leave a significant volume of unrooted substrate wet for longer periods.
For many compact plants, herbs and nursery crops, 1L may also be a useful finishing or retail size. More vigorous plants can subsequently be moved into 2L, 3L or larger containers as required.
1L Round Pot dimensions
The pot measures approximately 13cm across the upper rim, 9.5cm across the base and 11.5cm high.
These compact dimensions provide useful growing-medium volume while allowing growers to maintain efficient plant density across benches, beds and propagation areas.
The tapered sides allow empty pots to nest inside one another, reducing storage and transport space between production runs.
What can you grow in a 1L pot?
One litre pots are suitable for establishing and growing-on a broad range of young horticultural crops, including:
- Young herbaceous perennials
- Herbs
- Bedding and patio plants
- Young shrubs
- Young climbing plants
- Strawberries
- Young chillies and peppers
- Vegetable transplants
- Ornamental plants
- Rooted cuttings
- General nursery stock
Whether a 1L pot can be used as the final container depends on the plant species and intended finished size. Larger and more vigorous plants will normally require additional root volume as they develop.
Suitable growing media
The 1L Round Plant Pot can be used with a wide range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Compost-based mixes
- Other suitable horticultural substrates
Select a growing medium appropriate for the crop and stage of development. Young plants generally benefit from a substrate that combines reliable moisture retention with sufficient air-filled porosity for healthy root growth.
Drainage & irrigation
Pre-formed drainage openings in the base allow excess irrigation water to leave the pot rather than accumulating around the lower root zone.
This is particularly important in small containers because the entire substrate volume can become wet quickly. Healthy root development depends on maintaining both adequate moisture and oxygen within the growing medium.
The pot can be used with hand watering, overhead nursery irrigation, drip irrigation and other suitable watering systems.
Irrigation frequency should be based on the crop, root development, substrate and environmental conditions rather than following a fixed schedule.
Fits the 14cm Pot Saucer
The 1L Round Plant Pot is compatible with the 14cm Pot Saucer, product code P00047.
The matching saucer measures approximately 17cm across the rim, 14cm across the base and 2cm high.
This provides a useful option when the pot is used indoors or on protected surfaces where irrigation runoff needs to be contained.
The same 14cm saucer can also accommodate compatible pots with a slightly larger upper diameter because saucer compatibility is primarily determined by the footprint at the base of the pot.
Made for efficient nursery production
The compact 1L format is particularly useful for commercial growers because large numbers of young plants can be maintained within a relatively small production area.
Plants remain lightweight and straightforward to move, grade, space and irrigate while still having considerably more growing-medium volume than they would in a propagation cell or small starter pot.
The simple black horticultural finish also provides a clean presentation when plants are supplied directly to retailers, landscapers or end users.
When should you pot on from a 1L pot?
Plants should be moved into a larger container according to root development and crop requirements rather than after a fixed number of weeks.
A well-established root system throughout the existing growing medium, increasingly rapid drying or vigorous top growth relative to the pot can all indicate that additional root volume may be beneficial.
Where the 1L container is being used as an intermediate stage, moving into an appropriately sized 2L, 3L or larger pot allows the root system to continue developing while maintaining manageable moisture conditions.
Practical & reusable
Pots that remain in good condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
Remove old substrate and root debris before cleaning. Where pots are being reused between crops, appropriate hygiene procedures can help reduce the risk of transferring pests or plant pathogens.
The tapered design allows empty pots to nest together for compact storage.

The 12L Round Plant Pot is a versatile black horticultural container for established plants, nursery stock, vegetables and general container growing. Measuring approximately 30cm across the upper rim, 23.5cm across the base and 24cm high, it provides a generous 12 litre root volume while remaining compact enough for straightforward handling and efficient plant spacing.
Twelve litres is a useful intermediate-to-large container size for plants that have outgrown smaller nursery pots but do not yet require very large finishing containers. The additional growing-medium volume provides developing roots with considerably more space while increasing the available reserve of moisture and nutrition.
Its traditional tapered round profile makes the pot suitable for professional nurseries, greenhouses, polytunnels, indoor growing and outdoor horticulture. The wide upper opening also provides convenient access for irrigation, feeding, mulching and surface top dressing.
Drainage openings in the base allow excess irrigation water to escape, helping maintain the balance of moisture and air required within a healthy root zone.
Suitable for peat-based and peat-free compost, soil, coco coir, living soil and other horticultural growing media, this is a practical all-round container for commercial growers and home gardeners alike.

Generous 12 litre root volume
Moving a well-established plant into a 12L container provides substantially more growing-medium volume than smaller nursery pots, allowing the root system to continue expanding as the plant develops.
The increased substrate volume also provides a larger reserve of moisture and nutrients. This can make the root environment more buffered against rapid drying than a small container, although actual irrigation demand will depend on crop size, substrate and environmental conditions.
For many plants, 12L can be used as a substantial growing-on or finishing size. Particularly large, vigorous or long-lived crops may ultimately require a larger final container.
12L Round Pot dimensions
The pot measures approximately 30cm across the upper rim, 23.5cm across the base and 24cm high.
The 30cm upper diameter provides a generous surface area for irrigation and makes it straightforward to apply compost, mulch, granular fertilisers or powdered top-dress amendments.
Its tapered sides combine a stable lower footprint with efficient handling and allow empty pots to nest together for more compact storage.
What can you grow in a 12L pot?
A 12 litre plant pot can accommodate a wide range of established horticultural crops. Typical applications include:
- Shrubs and ornamental plants
- Large herbaceous perennials
- Tomatoes
- Peppers and chillies
- Aubergines
- Herbs
- Climbing plants
- Young fruit plants
- Suitable young trees and nursery stock
- Greenhouse and indoor crops
- General container-grown plants
The correct final container size depends on plant species, expected mature size, crop duration and cultivation method.
Suitable for living soil growing
The 12L capacity provides considerably more biologically active growing-medium volume than small nursery pots, making it suitable for smaller-scale living soil cultivation and organic growing programmes.
Its broad surface provides convenient access for applying compost, worm castings, mulch and dry soil amendments throughout the crop.
Larger living soil systems generally offer greater biological and moisture buffering, so whether 12L is appropriate as a final container will depend on the crop and growing method.
Suitable growing media
The 12L Round Plant Pot can be used with a wide range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Living soil
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Compost-based organic mixes
- Other suitable horticultural substrates
Irrigation and feeding should always be matched to the selected growing medium. A moisture-retentive compost behaves differently from a highly aerated coco or coco-perlite substrate.
Drainage & irrigation
Drainage openings in the base allow excess irrigation water and nutrient solution to leave the container rather than remaining trapped around the lower roots.
Good drainage helps maintain air within the growing medium while reducing the risk of prolonged saturation. This is especially important immediately after potting-on, when the root system may not yet occupy the entire 12L volume.
Irrigation should therefore be adjusted according to root development, crop demand and substrate moisture rather than simply saturating the entire container on a fixed schedule.
The pot is suitable for hand watering, drip irrigation and other compatible nursery or greenhouse irrigation systems.
Fits the 30cm Pot Saucer
The 12L Round Plant Pot is compatible with the 30cm Pot Saucer, product code P00019.
The matching saucer measures approximately 31cm across the rim, 28cm across the base and 5cm high.
Using a saucer can help contain irrigation runoff when the pot is positioned indoors, in a greenhouse or on another surface that needs protection.
In outdoor or free-draining production areas, a saucer may not be required.
Ideal for nursery & greenhouse production
The 12L Round Pot provides a useful balance between generous root volume and manageable overall dimensions.
For professional growers it can serve as a substantial growing-on or finishing container for nursery stock, ornamentals and productive crops while remaining straightforward to move, space and irrigate.
The simple black horticultural finish also provides a clean presentation for plants intended for garden centres, landscaping projects or direct retail.
When should you pot on into a 12L container?
Potting-on is best determined by root development rather than following a fixed timetable.
Plants are generally ready for additional container volume once roots have established well through the existing substrate and the current pot is beginning to dry increasingly quickly between irrigations.
Avoid moving a very small root system into a large volume of growing medium unnecessarily. Progressive potting can make moisture management easier while roots establish throughout the new substrate.
Practical & reusable
Pots that remain in sound condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
Remove old growing medium and root debris before cleaning. Where pots are transferred between crops, appropriate hygiene procedures can help reduce the risk of carrying pests or plant pathogens into the next planting.
The tapered profile allows empty containers to nest together for compact storage.

Ideal for seedlings & rooted cuttings
The 0.5L capacity makes this pot particularly useful during the transition from propagation into early vegetative growth.
Once a seedling or rooted cutting has developed sufficiently in a plug, cell or starter container, moving it into a 9cm pot provides additional growing medium for continued root development without placing a small root system into an unnecessarily large container.
This makes the pot suitable for rooted cuttings, young ornamentals, herbs, vegetable plants, perennials and a wide range of nursery crops.
As the root system fills the pot, vigorous plants can then be moved progressively into larger containers.
Why use a square plant pot?
One of the main advantages of a square horticultural pot is efficient use of growing space.
Round pots naturally leave gaps between neighbouring containers. Square pots can be positioned much more closely together, allowing growers to maximise plant density across propagation benches, nursery beds and greenhouse growing areas.
This can be particularly valuable during early production when large numbers of young plants need to be maintained within a limited area.
Square pots can also simplify orderly spacing and help create uniform nursery layouts.
9cm Square Pot dimensions
The pot measures approximately 9cm x 9cm across the upper rim, 6.5cm x 6.5cm across the base and 10cm high.
These proportions provide a nominal capacity of approximately 0.5 litres, giving young plants useful root depth while maintaining a very compact production footprint.
The tapered sides also make empty pots easy to stack and nest for efficient storage.
What can you grow in a 0.5L square pot?
The 9cm Square Pot is suitable for propagation and early-stage production of a broad range of plants, including:
- Rooted cuttings
- Seedlings
- Young herbaceous perennials
- Herbs
- Bedding plants
- Young vegetable plants
- Young chilli and pepper plants
- Strawberry plants
- Young ornamental plants
- Young shrubs
- General nursery stock
For most vigorous crops, 0.5L should be regarded as an early growing-on size rather than the final container.
Suitable growing media
The 9cm Square Plant Pot can be used with a wide range of propagation and horticultural substrates, including:
- Seed and propagation compost
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Other suitable propagation and horticultural substrates
Select a growing medium appropriate for the crop and stage of development. Young root systems generally benefit from a substrate that combines reliable moisture retention with sufficient air-filled porosity.
Watering small 0.5L pots
Smaller pots contain less growing medium than larger containers and can therefore respond quickly to changes in temperature, light levels and plant water demand.
Check substrate moisture regularly rather than watering solely according to a fixed timetable. As plants become established and develop larger leaf areas, they may use the available water increasingly quickly.
Conversely, newly potted young plants with small root systems may initially use relatively little water, so avoid keeping the growing medium unnecessarily saturated.
The pot is suitable for hand watering and compatible nursery or propagation irrigation systems.
Compatible with the 25cm Pot Saucer
The product information specifies compatibility with the 25cm Pot Saucer, product code P00110.
The saucer measures approximately 25.5cm across the rim, 21.5cm across the base and 4cm high.
Because the saucer is considerably larger than an individual 9cm pot, it can provide a useful runoff-catching surface beneath the container rather than being a close-fitting individual saucer.
A saucer is particularly useful indoors or on protected surfaces where irrigation runoff needs to be contained. It may not be required in free-draining nursery or outdoor growing areas.
Space-efficient nursery production
The combination of a compact 9cm footprint and square shape makes this pot particularly useful where large numbers of young plants need to be accommodated efficiently.
Pots can be arranged in neat rows with minimal unused space between them, helping growers make better use of greenhouse benches and propagation areas.
Plants remain lightweight and easy to move, grade and reorganise as the crop develops.
When should you pot on from a 9cm pot?
There is no fixed number of days or weeks that a plant should remain in a 0.5L pot. Potting-on should be based on root development, plant size and irrigation demand.
A well-developed root system throughout the growing medium, increasingly rapid drying or vigorous growth relative to the container can indicate that the plant is ready for additional root volume.
Progressive potting into an appropriately larger container helps maintain manageable moisture conditions while allowing continued root development.
Practical & reusable
Pots that remain in sound condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
Remove old growing medium and root debris before cleaning. Where propagation pots are reused between crops, appropriate hygiene is particularly important to reduce the risk of transferring pests or plant pathogens to young plants.
The tapered profile allows empty pots to nest together for compact storage.

What is a square round plant pot?
A square round pot combines characteristics of traditional square and round horticultural containers.
The upper section has a predominantly square profile, allowing pots to be positioned efficiently alongside one another. The lower body transitions into a more rounded and tapered form, providing a practical growing volume while retaining the handling and nesting benefits associated with conventional nursery pots.
This combination makes square round pots particularly useful in professional horticulture where growers need to maximise production space without compromising root volume.
A versatile 5.5 litre growing volume
The 5.5L capacity sits between smaller nursery pots and larger finishing containers, making it particularly useful for progressive potting.
Plants that have developed a healthy root system in smaller containers can be moved into 5.5 litres of fresh growing medium, providing substantially more space for continued root development.
The increased substrate volume also provides a greater reserve of moisture and nutrients than smaller pots, helping support established plants as their canopy and root system expand.
For many compact crops and nursery plants, 5.5L can also serve as the final growing or retail container.
What can you grow in a 5.5L pot?
The 5.5L Square Round Pot is suitable for a broad range of productive and ornamental crops, including:
- Herbaceous perennials
- Herbs
- Chillies and peppers
- Young tomato plants
- Strawberries
- Compact vegetable crops
- Young shrubs
- Climbing plants
- Ornamental plants
- Greenhouse crops
- General nursery stock
Whether 5.5L is appropriate as the final container depends on the crop, mature plant size and length of the growing cycle. Larger or particularly vigorous plants may eventually require additional root volume.
Efficient greenhouse & nursery spacing
One of the principal advantages of the square round format is improved use of growing space.
Conventional round pots leave curved gaps between neighbouring containers when positioned closely together. The squarer upper profile of this pot allows containers to be arranged more efficiently across benches and production areas.
This can help growers increase plant density during production while maintaining an orderly layout that is straightforward to irrigate, inspect and manage.
As plants develop, spacing can be increased where necessary to improve airflow and prevent neighbouring canopies from becoming excessively crowded.
Suitable growing media
The 5.5L Square Round Pot can be used with a wide variety of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Living soil
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Compost-based organic mixes
- Other suitable horticultural substrates
Irrigation frequency should always be matched to the plant and growing medium. A moisture-retentive compost will behave differently from a highly aerated coco or coco-perlite substrate.
Irrigation & root-zone management
A 5.5L container provides considerably more growing-medium volume than a small propagation pot, so watering practices should change as plants are potted-on.
Immediately after transplanting, the root system may occupy only part of the fresh substrate. Avoid keeping the entire pot unnecessarily saturated while roots establish into the new growing medium.
As root mass and canopy size increase, plants will normally use water more rapidly. Irrigation frequency should therefore be based on substrate moisture, crop demand and environmental conditions rather than a fixed timetable.
The pot can be used with hand watering and compatible nursery, greenhouse and drip irrigation systems.
Ideal for professional nursery production
The combination of moderate root volume and efficient square spacing makes the 5.5L Square Round Pot particularly useful for commercial nursery production.
It provides enough substrate for substantial plant development while remaining compact enough for efficient handling, spacing and transport.
The black horticultural finish provides a straightforward professional presentation for plants intended for garden centres, landscaping projects or direct retail.
When should you pot on into a 5.5L pot?
Potting-on should be based on root development rather than a fixed number of weeks.
Plants are generally ready for additional growing-medium volume once their roots have established throughout the existing container, irrigation demand has increased or top growth is becoming large relative to the current pot.
Progressive potting helps maintain manageable moisture conditions. Moving a very small root system directly into an unnecessarily large volume of wet growing medium can make irrigation more difficult to control.
Practical & reusable
Pots that remain in sound condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
Remove old growing medium and root debris before cleaning. Where containers are reused between crops, appropriate hygiene procedures can help reduce the risk of transferring pests or plant pathogens.
The tapered design allows empty pots to nest inside one another, reducing the storage space required between growing cycles.

A versatile 3 litre growing-on pot
Three litres is a useful intermediate container volume for plants that have established in smaller pots but do not yet require a large finishing container.
Moving an established plant into a 3L pot provides additional growing medium for continued root development while keeping irrigation and handling manageable.
The larger substrate volume provides a greater reserve of moisture and nutrients than small propagation pots, helping support increasing root mass and canopy growth.
For compact plants and shorter production cycles, 3L may also be suitable as the final growing or retail container.
What can you grow in a 3L pot?
The 3L Square Round Plant Pot is suitable for growing-on a wide range of edible and ornamental crops, including:
- Herbs
- Chillies and peppers
- Young tomato plants
- Strawberries
- Herbaceous perennials
- Bedding and patio plants
- Young shrubs
- Ornamental plants
- Climbing plants
- Young vegetable plants
- General nursery stock
Whether 3L is suitable as a final container depends on the mature size and vigour of the crop. Larger plants and longer growing cycles may eventually require additional root volume.
Suitable growing media
The 3L Square Round Pot can be used with a broad range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Compost-based mixes
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Other suitable horticultural growing substrates
Choose a growing medium appropriate for the crop and production system. Watering frequency should be adjusted according to substrate structure, plant size and environmental conditions.
Watering plants in 3L pots
After potting-on, the plant's existing root system may initially occupy only part of the fresh growing medium. Water carefully while new roots establish throughout the container rather than automatically saturating the pot on a fixed schedule.
As root mass and foliage increase, water demand will normally rise. Monitoring the moisture content and weight of the growing medium can provide a more useful indication of irrigation requirements than watering solely according to time.
The pot is suitable for hand watering and compatible nursery, greenhouse and drip irrigation systems.
Fits the 14cm Pot Saucer
The 3L Square Round Pot is listed for use with the 14cm saucer, product code P00047.
The saucer measures approximately 17cm across the rim, 14cm across the base and 2cm high.
Using a saucer can help collect irrigation runoff and protect greenhouse benches, shelving, floors and other surfaces from excess water.
Avoid allowing the pot to remain permanently standing in excess runoff unless this forms part of the intended irrigation method.
When should you pot on into a 3L container?
Potting-on is best determined by root development rather than following a fixed number of weeks.
A plant may be ready for a 3L container when roots have established throughout its existing growing medium, water demand has increased significantly or the plant has become large relative to its current pot.
Moving plants progressively through appropriate container sizes can make moisture management easier and encourage the root system to establish throughout the available growing medium.
Ideal for nursery & greenhouse production
The 3L Square Round Pot provides a useful balance between root volume and production footprint.
Its relatively compact dimensions allow significant numbers of plants to be accommodated within nursery and greenhouse environments while still providing enough substrate for substantial plant development.
As crops mature, pots can be spaced further apart where necessary to improve airflow, light interception and canopy development.
Reusable horticultural pot
Pots that remain in good condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for subsequent plants.
Remove old roots and growing-medium residue before cleaning. Where pots are reused between different crops, suitable hygiene procedures can help reduce the risk of transferring pests or plant pathogens.
The tapered profile allows empty containers to nest together, helping minimise storage requirements between growing cycles.

The 2L Square Round Plant Pot is a compact black horticultural grow pot designed for potting-on young plants, nursery production and efficient greenhouse growing. Measuring approximately 13.5cm across the upper rim, 11cm across the base and 14.5cm high, it combines the space-saving advantages of a square pot with a tapered lower profile.
A 2 litre container provides a useful step between small propagation pots and larger nursery or finishing containers. It gives developing roots additional growing-medium volume while keeping plants compact, lightweight and easy to handle.
The square upper profile allows neighbouring pots to sit closely together, helping maximise available bench, greenhouse and nursery space. This makes the format particularly useful where larger numbers of young plants are being grown simultaneously.
The tapered lower section creates a practical root zone, assists removal of established root balls during potting-on and allows empty pots to nest together for efficient storage.
Suitable for peat-based and peat-free compost, soil, coco coir and other horticultural growing media, this versatile 2L pot can be used for a wide range of edible, ornamental and nursery crops.
Why choose the 2L Square Round Plant Pot?
- 2 litre capacity - ideal for growing-on established seedlings, rooted cuttings and young plants.
- Square round design - combines efficient spacing with a practical tapered root zone.
- 13.5cm upper rim - compact footprint for nursery and greenhouse production.
- 14.5cm height - provides useful depth for continued root development.

Space-efficient square round design
Square round pots combine features of both square and conventional round horticultural containers.
The predominantly square upper profile allows pots to be positioned efficiently alongside one another. Compared with rows of conventional round pots, this can reduce the unused space between containers and help growers make better use of nursery and greenhouse benches.
The lower section tapers towards the base, creating a practical growing profile while allowing empty containers to nest together for compact storage.
This combination makes the format particularly useful for professional growing-on applications where plant density, handling and storage efficiency are important.
A practical 2 litre growing-on pot
Two litres provides a useful intermediate root volume for plants that have outgrown smaller propagation or nursery pots.
Potting-on into a 2L container gives developing roots access to additional growing medium without immediately placing a young plant into an unnecessarily large volume of substrate.
This makes the size particularly useful for progressive potting, where plants are moved through increasingly larger containers as their root systems develop.
For compact plants and shorter production cycles, a 2L container may also be suitable as a final growing or retail pot.
What can you grow in a 2L pot?
The 2L Square Round Plant Pot is suitable for growing-on a broad range of plants, including:
- Established seedlings
- Rooted cuttings
- Herbs
- Young chilli and pepper plants
- Young tomato plants
- Strawberry plants
- Herbaceous perennials
- Bedding and patio plants
- Young shrubs
- Ornamental plants
- General nursery stock
Whether 2L is suitable as the final container depends on the crop, mature plant size and growing period. Vigorous plants will generally require additional root volume as they develop.
Ideal for progressive potting-on
Progressive potting allows the container volume to increase alongside development of the root system.
A 2L pot is particularly useful after smaller propagation and growing-on containers. Once roots have established throughout the existing medium, moving into 2 litres provides fresh substrate and additional space for continued growth.
Avoid potting very small plants into excessively large containers unnecessarily. A large volume of wet, unrooted growing medium can take longer to dry and may make irrigation more difficult to manage.
Suitable growing media
The 2L Square Round Plant Pot can be used with a wide variety of horticultural growing media, including:
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Peat-free growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Compost-based mixes
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite blends
- Other suitable horticultural substrates
Choose a substrate appropriate for the crop and growing method. Moisture retention, drainage and irrigation frequency can vary considerably between different growing media.
Watering plants in 2L pots
Smaller containers respond relatively quickly to changes in temperature, light levels and plant water demand, so substrate moisture should be checked regularly.
Immediately after potting-on, roots may occupy only part of the fresh growing medium. Water according to the needs of the developing root system rather than automatically saturating the entire pot on a fixed schedule.
As the plant becomes established, increased root mass and foliage will normally increase water demand.
The pot can be used with hand watering and compatible nursery, greenhouse and drip irrigation systems.
Fits the 14cm Pot Saucer
The 2L Square Round Plant Pot is listed for use with the 14cm saucer, product code P00047.
The compatible saucer measures approximately 17cm across the rim, 14cm across the base and 2cm high.
A saucer can help collect irrigation runoff when plants are grown indoors, on greenhouse benches or on surfaces that need protection from excess water.
Avoid leaving the pot permanently standing in stagnant runoff unless this forms part of the intended irrigation method.
Ideal for nursery & greenhouse production
The compact 2L format provides professional growers with a useful balance between root volume and production footprint.
Its square upper profile allows plants to be arranged efficiently while young. As the canopy develops, containers can be spaced further apart where required to improve airflow and light distribution.
The manageable size also makes plants straightforward to move, grade, irrigate and prepare for sale or further potting-on.
Practical & reusable
Pots that remain in good condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
Remove old roots and growing-medium residue before cleaning. Appropriate hygiene between crops can help reduce the risk of transferring pests or plant pathogens.
The tapered profile allows empty pots to nest together, reducing the storage space required between growing cycles.

The 20L Round Plant Pot is a large black horticultural grow pot designed for established plants, shrubs, larger ornamentals and productive edible crops. Measuring approximately 35.5cm across the upper rim, 27.5cm across the base and 29cm high, it provides generous root volume while retaining the practical tapered shape of a professional nursery container.
With approximately 20 litres of growing-medium capacity, this pot is well suited to plants that have progressed beyond smaller nursery containers and need substantially more room for continued root and canopy development.
The wide upper opening makes potting, top-dressing and checking the growing medium straightforward, while the tapered profile helps established root balls release from the container when plants need repotting or transplanting.
Suitable for peat-based and peat-free compost, soil mixes, coco coir and other appropriate horticultural substrates, the 20L Round Pot is a versatile choice for professional nurseries, greenhouses, polytunnels, indoor growing and home gardens.
Why choose the 20L Round Plant Pot?
- 20 litre capacity - generous root volume for established and larger plants.
- 35.5cm upper rim - wide opening makes planting, top-dressing and maintenance straightforward.
- 29cm high - useful substrate depth for substantial root development.
- 27.5cm base - tapered profile provides a practical nursery-style container shape.
- Versatile growing pot - suitable for ornamental, edible and nursery crops.
- Ideal for potting-on - useful for plants progressing from smaller intermediate containers.
- Suitable for peat-free media - compatible with modern peat-free growing substrates.
- Suitable for coco - can be used with coco coir and coco-based growing systems.
- Indoor & outdoor use - suitable for nurseries, greenhouses, polytunnels and gardens.

- Reusable - sound pots can be cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
- Compatible saucer available - fits the 40cm saucer, product code P00082.
Generous 20 litre root volume
Moving a plant into a 20L container gives its root system substantially more growing-medium volume than smaller nursery pots. This can support larger plants, longer growing periods and crops with greater water and nutrient demand.
The additional substrate also creates a larger moisture and nutrient reserve. This can make a well-established 20L container less prone to the rapid drying associated with very small pots, although irrigation requirements will still depend heavily on crop size, substrate and growing conditions.
For many ornamental and edible crops, 20L can serve as a substantial final container. Particularly vigorous or long-lived plants may eventually benefit from an even larger pot or permanent planting position.
What can you grow in a 20L pot?
A 20L plant pot provides enough root volume for a broad range of established plants and container-grown crops, including:
- Tomato plants
- Chillies and peppers
- Aubergines
- Established herbs
- Patio fruit and vegetable crops
- Herbaceous perennials
- Established ornamental plants
- Young shrubs
- Climbing plants
- Small fruit bushes
- General nursery stock
Final pot size should always be selected according to the mature size, vigour and expected growing period of the individual plant.
Ideal for potting-on established plants
The 20L Round Pot is particularly useful when plants have developed substantial root systems in smaller containers and require additional space to continue growing.
Signs that a plant may need potting-on include roots extensively occupying the existing container, increasingly rapid drying after irrigation, restricted growth or a plant becoming disproportionately large compared with its current pot.
When potting-on, use an appropriate fresh growing medium and position the existing root ball at a suitable depth before filling around it. Water appropriately after transplanting to settle the new substrate around the root zone.
Suitable growing media
The 20L Round Plant Pot can be used with a wide range of horticultural growing media, including:
- Peat-free compost
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Compost-based growing media
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite mixes
- Living soil mixes
- Other suitable horticultural substrates
Growing-medium structure becomes increasingly important in larger containers. Choose a substrate that provides an appropriate balance between moisture retention, aeration and drainage for the crop being grown.
Watering plants in 20L containers
Larger pots contain considerably more growing medium than small propagation containers, so irrigation should be matched to both the size of the plant and how extensively roots have colonised the substrate.
A newly transplanted plant may not immediately use moisture from the entire 20L volume. Avoid repeatedly saturating a large volume of unrooted substrate simply because the surface appears dry.
Once a large plant becomes fully established, water demand can increase considerably, particularly during warm weather or periods of rapid vegetative, flowering or fruit development.
The container is suitable for hand watering and compatible nursery, greenhouse and drip irrigation systems.
Fits the 40cm Pot Saucer
The 20L Round Plant Pot is listed for use with the 40cm saucer, product code P00082.
The compatible saucer measures approximately 41cm across the rim, 37.5cm across the base and 6cm high.
A saucer is particularly useful where large container plants are grown on greenhouse benches, patios, indoor surfaces or other areas where irrigation runoff needs to be collected.
Unless using an irrigation method specifically designed around standing water, avoid leaving the root zone permanently sitting in stagnant runoff.
Suitable for nursery & greenhouse production
The 20L format provides professional growers with a substantial container for finishing larger nursery plants or holding established stock before sale or transplanting.
Its conventional round, tapered profile makes it straightforward to arrange, handle and reposition plants as crop spacing requirements change.
As plants develop larger canopies, adequate spacing between pots can help improve airflow, light interception and access for irrigation and crop maintenance.
Reusable horticultural grow pot
Pots that remain in sound condition can be reused for subsequent crops, making them a practical choice for nurseries and growers with repeat production cycles.
Remove old roots and substrate residue before cleaning. Where pots are transferred between different crops, suitable hygiene procedures can help minimise the transfer of pests or plant pathogens.
The tapered shape also allows empty pots to nest together, reducing the storage space required when they are not in use.

The 11cm Square Plant Pot is a compact 1 litre black horticultural pot designed for propagation, potting-on and nursery production. Its square footprint allows plants to be positioned efficiently on benches and growing areas, making it particularly useful when larger numbers of young plants need to be accommodated in a limited space.
With a nominal capacity of 1 litre, this pot provides a practical step up from smaller seedling and propagation containers. It gives developing root systems additional growing-medium volume without moving young plants directly into an unnecessarily large container.
The tapered sides help established root balls release from the container when plants are ready for potting-on, while the square upper profile reduces the unused gaps normally created between conventional round pots.
Suitable for peat-based and peat-free compost, soil mixes, coco coir and other horticultural growing media, the 11cm Square Pot is suitable for professional nurseries, greenhouses, propagation areas, indoor growing and home horticulture.
Why choose the 11cm Square Plant Pot?
- 1 litre capacity - ideal for established seedlings, rooted cuttings and young plants.
- 11cm square format - provides an efficient footprint for benches and growing areas.
- Excellent growing-on pot - a practical progression from smaller propagation containers.
- Space efficient - square pots can be positioned closely together with minimal wasted space.
- Tapered profile - helps with plant removal and allows empty pots to nest together.
- Suitable for peat-free compost - compatible with modern peat-free growing media.
- Suitable for coco - useful for coco coir and coco-based growing systems.
- Professional nursery format - suitable for propagation, growing-on and retail plants.
- Versatile crop use - suitable for herbs, ornamentals, vegetables and general nursery stock.
- Indoor & outdoor use - suitable for greenhouses, polytunnels, nurseries and gardens.
- Reusable - sound pots can be cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
Space-saving square plant pot
One of the main advantages of a square plant pot is efficient use of growing space. Square containers can sit closely alongside one another, reducing the gaps that naturally occur between rows of round pots.
This can be particularly valuable in propagation units, nurseries and greenhouses where hundreds or thousands of young plants may occupy the same production area.
As plants develop larger canopies, pots can then be spaced further apart where required to improve airflow, light distribution and access for irrigation.
The tapered sides also allow empty pots to nest together, reducing the amount of storage space required between growing cycles.
A practical 1 litre growing-on pot
A 1L plant pot is a useful intermediate container for plants that have established in smaller propagation cells, plug trays or starter pots.
Moving a young plant into approximately one litre of growing medium provides fresh substrate and additional root space while keeping the container volume manageable during early development.
For many nursery crops, the 1L stage provides an effective bridge between propagation and larger 2L, 3L or finishing containers.
Compact plants and short-cycle crops may also be grown to sale or maturity in a 1L container where the available root volume is appropriate.
What can you grow in a 1L square pot?
The 11cm Square Plant Pot is suitable for a wide variety of young and compact plants, including:
- Established seedlings
- Rooted cuttings
- Herbs
- Young chilli and pepper plants
- Young tomato plants
- Bedding plants
- Herbaceous perennials
- Young ornamental plants
- Vegetable transplants
- Young shrubs
- General nursery stock
Whether 1L is suitable as a final container depends on the mature size and vigour of the crop. Larger plants will normally require potting-on as their root systems develop.
Suitable growing media
The 11cm Square Plant Pot can be used with a broad range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-free compost
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Compost-based growing media
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite mixes
- Other suitable propagation and nursery substrates
Select a growing medium appropriate for the crop and irrigation system. Different substrates vary considerably in water-holding capacity, drainage and air-filled porosity.
When should you pot on into a 1L container?
Potting-on should generally be based on plant and root development rather than following a fixed timetable.
Young plants may be ready for a 1L pot when roots have established throughout their existing propagation medium, the smaller container is drying increasingly quickly or additional root volume is needed to support continued growth.
Progressive potting can make irrigation easier to manage because the amount of growing medium remains reasonably proportionate to the developing root system.
Watering plants in 1L pots
One litre containers hold substantially less growing medium than large finishing pots, so moisture levels can change relatively quickly as plants become established.
Check the substrate regularly rather than watering solely according to a fixed timetable. Temperature, light levels, plant size, root development and the chosen growing medium can all significantly affect irrigation frequency.
Immediately after potting-on, avoid repeatedly saturating fresh substrate that has not yet been fully colonised by roots. Water demand will normally increase as the plant develops.
Ideal for propagation & nursery production
The combination of compact volume and square footprint makes the 11cm 1L pot particularly useful for professional growing-on applications.
Plants can initially be positioned closely together to maximise production space before being progressively spaced as their canopies increase in size.
The manageable container size also makes young plants straightforward to move, grade, irrigate and prepare for potting-on or retail.
Compatible 25cm Pot Saucer
The existing product specification lists the 25cm saucer, product code P00110, for use with this pot.
The saucer measures approximately 25.5cm across the rim, 21.5cm across the base and 4cm high.
A saucer can help collect irrigation runoff and protect greenhouse benches, shelving and other growing surfaces from excess water.
Reusable horticultural plant pot
Pots that remain in sound condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for subsequent plants.
Remove old roots and growing-medium residue before cleaning. Appropriate hygiene between crops can help minimise the risk of transferring pests or plant pathogens.
Empty pots can be nested together to reduce storage requirements when not in use.

Substantial 15 litre root volume
A 15L plant pot provides considerably more growing-medium volume than small propagation and intermediate nursery containers, giving established plants room to develop larger root systems and support increased above-ground growth.
The additional substrate volume also creates a greater reserve of moisture and nutrients. Once fully rooted, this can make moisture management more forgiving than in smaller pots, although irrigation requirements will still vary according to plant size, growing medium and environmental conditions.
Fifteen litres is a particularly useful size for plants that need significant root space while still remaining relatively easy to handle and reposition.
What can you grow in a 15L pot?
The 15L Round Plant Pot is suitable for a wide range of established edible and ornamental plants, including:
- Tomato plants
- Chillies and peppers
- Aubergines
- Established herbs
- Patio fruit and vegetable crops
- Herbaceous perennials
- Ornamental plants
- Young shrubs
- Climbing plants
- Small fruit bushes
- General nursery stock
Whether 15L is appropriate as the final container depends on the mature size, vigour and expected growing period of the individual crop. Larger plants may eventually benefit from additional root volume.
Ideal for potting-on established plants
The 15L Round Pot provides a useful next stage for established plants that have thoroughly rooted through smaller containers.
Signs that a plant may be ready for a larger pot include roots extensively occupying the existing growing medium, increasingly rapid drying after irrigation or the plant becoming disproportionately large relative to its current container.
When potting-on, use a suitable fresh growing medium and position the existing root ball at an appropriate depth before filling around it. Water appropriately after transplanting to settle the new substrate around the root zone.
Suitable growing media
The 15L Round Plant Pot can be used with a broad range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-free compost
- Peat-based nursery compost
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Compost-based growing media
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite mixes
- Living soil
- Other suitable horticultural substrates
Choose a growing medium appropriate for the crop and cultivation method. In larger containers, a good balance between moisture retention, drainage and air-filled porosity is particularly important for maintaining a healthy root environment.
Watering plants in 15L containers
Irrigation should be matched to the size of the plant, development of the root system and moisture-holding characteristics of the chosen substrate.
Immediately after potting-on, a plant's existing roots may occupy only part of the fresh 15L volume. Avoid repeatedly saturating a large volume of unrooted growing medium simply because the upper surface appears dry.
Once the plant becomes well established, water demand can increase considerably, particularly during warm weather and periods of rapid vegetative growth, flowering or fruit development.
The pot is suitable for hand watering and compatible nursery, greenhouse and drip irrigation systems.
Fits the 30cm Pot Saucer
The 15L Round Plant Pot is listed for use with the 30cm saucer, product code P00019.
The compatible saucer measures approximately 31cm across the rim, 28cm across the base and 5cm high.
Using a saucer can help collect irrigation runoff and protect greenhouse benches, patios, shelving, floors and other surfaces from excess water.
Unless using a cultivation method specifically designed around standing water, avoid leaving the pot permanently sitting in stagnant runoff.
Professional nursery & greenhouse grow pot
The 15L size provides commercial growers with a practical container for finishing larger plants and holding established nursery stock.
Its conventional round shape and tapered profile make plants straightforward to arrange and reposition as spacing requirements change throughout production.
As plant canopies develop, increasing the spacing between pots where necessary can help improve airflow, light interception and access for irrigation and crop maintenance.
Reusable horticultural plant pot
Pots that remain in good condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for subsequent plants.
Remove old roots and growing-medium residue before cleaning. Where containers are reused between different crops, suitable hygiene procedures can help reduce the risk of transferring pests or plant pathogens.
The tapered profile also allows empty pots to nest together, helping minimise storage requirements between production cycles.

The 7.5L Round Plant Pot is a practical black horticultural grow pot for established plants, vegetables, ornamentals and nursery stock. Measuring approximately 25cm across the upper rim, 20cm across the base and 21cm high, it provides useful root volume while retaining a compact footprint.
With a nominal capacity of 7.5 litres, this pot sits between smaller propagation and growing-on containers and larger finishing pots. It is particularly useful for plants that have established well in smaller containers and need additional root space for continued development.
The traditional tapered round profile makes it suitable for professional nursery production as well as greenhouse, polytunnel, indoor and outdoor growing. It can be used with peat-free compost, peat-based substrates, soil mixes, coco coir, living soil and other suitable horticultural growing media.
Its broad opening provides easy access for planting, watering and top-dressing, while the tapered sides make established root balls easier to remove when plants need transplanting or potting-on again.

What can you grow in a 7.5L pot?
The 7.5L Round Plant Pot is suitable for a broad range of established edible and ornamental plants. Typical uses include:
- Chilli and pepper plants
- Compact vegetable plants
- Established culinary herbs
- Strawberry plants
- Young tomato plants
- Herbaceous perennials
- Seasonal flowering plants
- Young shrubs
- Climbing plants
- General nursery stock
Whether 7.5L is suitable as the final container depends on the mature size and vigour of the plant. More vigorous crops can use the pot as an intermediate stage before moving into a larger final container.
Ideal for potting-on established plants
A 7.5 litre container provides a useful step up for plants that have developed a healthy root system in smaller pots.
Increasing the available growing-medium volume gives roots additional space to develop and provides a larger reserve of moisture and nutrients. Avoid moving very small plants into unnecessarily large volumes of wet substrate, as their limited root systems may initially use water relatively slowly.
When potting-on, position the existing root ball at an appropriate depth, fill around it with fresh growing medium and water sufficiently to settle the new substrate.
Suitable growing media
The 7.5L Round Plant Pot can be used with a wide range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-free compost
- Peat-based nursery substrates
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Compost-based growing media
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite mixes
- Living soil
- Other suitable horticultural substrates
Choose the growing medium according to the crop and cultivation method. Good drainage, moisture retention and root-zone aeration should all be considered when selecting a substrate.
Watering plants in 7.5L containers
Watering frequency depends on plant size, root development, substrate, temperature, airflow and light levels.
Recently transplanted plants may initially occupy only part of the available growing medium. Irrigation should therefore be matched to the developing root system rather than repeatedly saturating the entire pot unnecessarily.
Once fully established, plants can use water considerably faster, particularly during warm weather and periods of rapid growth, flowering or fruit development.
The pot is suitable for hand watering as well as compatible drip and automated irrigation systems.
Fits the 30cm Pot Saucer
The 7.5L Round Plant Pot is listed for use with the 30cm saucer, product code P00019.
The compatible saucer measures approximately 31cm across the rim, 28cm across the base and 5cm high.
A saucer can help collect excess irrigation water and protect greenhouse benches, floors, shelving, patios and other surfaces from runoff.
Unless the chosen growing method specifically requires standing water, avoid leaving the root zone permanently sitting in stagnant runoff.
Professional nursery & greenhouse grow pot
The 7.5L size combines useful growing volume with a relatively compact footprint, making it suitable for commercial nursery production and growing-on established stock.
Its round format makes plants straightforward to arrange and reposition as crops develop. Increasing spacing where necessary as foliage expands can improve airflow, light interception and access for watering and maintenance.
The tapered profile also allows empty pots to nest together, reducing the amount of storage space required between production cycles.
Reusable horticultural plant pot
Pots that remain in sound condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
Remove old growing medium and root debris before cleaning. Where pots are reused between different plants or production cycles, appropriate hygiene procedures can help reduce the transfer of pests and plant pathogens.

- Chilli and pepper plants
- Established herbs
- Strawberry plants
- Young tomato plants
- Compact vegetables
- Seasonal flowering plants
- Herbaceous perennials

Whether 5L is suitable as the final container depends on the species, cultivar and mature plant size. More vigorous crops can use it as an intermediate stage before being moved into a larger pot.
A practical potting-on size
The 5L Round Plant Pot provides a useful next step for plants that have established a healthy root system in smaller containers.
Potting-on increases the available volume of growing medium, giving developing roots additional space while increasing the reservoir of available moisture and nutrients.
When transplanting, position the existing root ball at an appropriate depth, fill around it with fresh substrate and water sufficiently to settle the growing medium around the roots.
Avoid moving very small plants into excessively wet growing media. Newly transplanted plants may initially use water slowly until their roots begin colonising the additional substrate.
Suitable growing media
The 5L Round Plant Pot can be used with a wide range of horticultural substrates, including:
- Peat-free compost
- Peat-based growing media
- Soil-based potting mixes
- Compost-based substrates
- Coco coir
- Coco and perlite mixes
- Living soil
- Other suitable horticultural growing media
Select the substrate according to the plant and cultivation method. The correct balance of moisture retention, drainage and root-zone aeration is important for healthy container-grown plants.
Watering plants in 5L pots
Water requirements vary considerably according to crop size, substrate, root development, temperature, airflow and light intensity.
Newly potted plants may not immediately use the full volume of moisture held within the container. Watering should therefore be matched to the developing root system rather than keeping the entire pot continuously saturated.
As plants become established, their water demand can increase significantly, particularly during warm conditions and periods of vigorous vegetative growth, flowering or fruit development.
The pot can be used with hand watering or suitable drip and automated irrigation systems.
Fits the 30cm Pot Saucer
The 5L Round Plant Pot is listed for use with the 30cm saucer, product code P00019.
The compatible saucer measures approximately 31cm across the rim, 28cm across the base and 5cm high.
Using a saucer can help contain irrigation runoff and protect greenhouse benches, grow-room floors, shelving, patios and other surfaces.
Unless the chosen cultivation method specifically requires it, avoid leaving the plant permanently standing in stagnant runoff.
Professional nursery & greenhouse plant pot
The 5L size is particularly useful for commercial growing because it provides meaningful root volume without taking up the space required by larger finishing containers.
Plants can be positioned efficiently during earlier growth and then spaced further apart as their canopy develops. This can improve access, airflow and light distribution through the crop.
The tapered profile also allows empty pots to nest together for more efficient storage between production cycles.
Reusable horticultural grow pot
Pots that remain in good condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for future plants.
Remove old growing medium and root debris before cleaning. Appropriate hygiene procedures are recommended when containers are reused between different crops or production cycles.
