The 50L Heavy Duty Round Plastic Pot (with handles) is a professional growing container designed for larger nursery stock, shrubs and specimen container production.
The 50L format provides substantial root volume for crops that need more space than standard nursery pots, while the container style is intended for repeated handling through production, spacing, irrigation and dispatch.
Sold individually.
Key benefits
- 50L nominal capacity
- Designed for larger nursery stock, shrubs and specimen container production
- Single-pot selling unit
- Suitable for professional nursery, landscape and tree production
- Integrated handles stated for easier handling of larger containers
Tree & shrub container production
The 50L format is suited to larger woody nursery stock where adequate root volume and practical container handling are important. Select container size according to crop vigour, root development, production period and final sale specification.
Where handles are incorporated into the pot design, they can assist positioning and handling, but a filled 50L container may still require appropriate manual-handling controls or mechanical assistance.
Choosing the growing medium
Use a professional growing medium appropriate to the crop, container size and irrigation system. Larger pots need a substrate with enough structure to maintain air-filled porosity and drainage throughout the production period while retaining sufficient available moisture.
Avoid excessive compaction during filling. Settle the medium consistently and leave suitable watering space at the top of the container.
Irrigation & root-zone management
Container size has a major effect on drying behaviour. Check moisture through the root zone rather than judging only the surface, and adjust irrigation frequency and volume as crop size, weather and rooting increase.
Ensure drainage points remain clear and avoid leaving containers standing in prolonged saturation unless the crop and production system are specifically designed for it.
Handling, spacing & stability
Position larger pots on a stable, well-drained growing surface and allow sufficient spacing for crop development and access. Consider wind exposure as top-heavy trees and shrubs develop.
Filled containers can be substantially heavier than their nominal litre capacity suggests. Use appropriate lifting and handling methods, particularly with the larger sizes in this range.
Reuse & crop hygiene
Where pots remain serviceable, they may be reused subject to the nursery's crop-hygiene requirements. Remove old substrate and plant material, inspect the container for damage and clean or disinfect as appropriate before the next crop cycle.

50L Heavy Duty Round Plastic Pot (with handles) FAQs
Is this nursery pot sold individually?
Yes. The selling unit is one pot. What capacity is this pot?
The stated nominal capacity is 50L. What is this pot suitable for?
It is intended for larger nursery stock, shrubs and specimen container production. What growing medium should I use?
Use a professional substrate appropriate to the crop, container size and irrigation system, with suitable structure, drainage, aeration and moisture retention. How should larger pots be watered?
Check moisture through the root zone and adjust irrigation to crop size, rooting, weather and substrate behaviour rather than relying on a fixed timetable. Can the pot be reused?
Yes where it remains serviceable and nursery hygiene requirements are met. Remove old substrate and clean appropriately before reuse. What should I consider when moving a filled pot?
A filled and watered container can be very heavy. Use appropriate manual-handling methods or mechanical assistance where required. How do I choose between pot sizes?
Match container volume to crop vigour, root development, production period and intended finished-plant size. Do the handles mean the pot can always be lifted by one person?
No. Handles can assist positioning, but the filled weight may still require team handling or mechanical assistance.

The 70L Heavy Duty Tree Pot with Handles is a professional growing container designed for container production and handling of larger trees and shrubs.
The 70L format provides substantial root volume for crops that need more space than standard nursery pots, while the container style is intended for repeated handling through production, spacing, irrigation and dispatch.
Sold individually. A full commercial pallet contains 260 pots.
Key benefits
- 70L nominal capacity
- Designed for container production and handling of larger trees and shrubs
- Single-pot selling unit
- Suitable for professional nursery, landscape and tree production
- Integrated handles stated for easier handling of larger containers
- Commercial pallet quantity: 260 pots
Tree & shrub container production
The 70L format is suited to larger woody nursery stock where adequate root volume and practical container handling are important. Select container size according to crop vigour, root development, production period and final sale specification.
Where handles are incorporated into the pot design, they can assist positioning and handling, but a filled 70L container may still require appropriate manual-handling controls or mechanical assistance.
Choosing the growing medium
Use a professional growing medium appropriate to the crop, container size and irrigation system. Larger pots need a substrate with enough structure to maintain air-filled porosity and drainage throughout the production period while retaining sufficient available moisture.
Avoid excessive compaction during filling. Settle the medium consistently and leave suitable watering space at the top of the container.
Irrigation & root-zone management
Container size has a major effect on drying behaviour. Check moisture through the root zone rather than judging only the surface, and adjust irrigation frequency and volume as crop size, weather and rooting increase.
Ensure drainage points remain clear and avoid leaving containers standing in prolonged saturation unless the crop and production system are specifically designed for it.
Handling, spacing & stability
Position larger pots on a stable, well-drained growing surface and allow sufficient spacing for crop development and access. Consider wind exposure as top-heavy trees and shrubs develop.
Filled containers can be substantially heavier than their nominal litre capacity suggests. Use appropriate lifting and handling methods, particularly with the larger sizes in this range.
Reuse & crop hygiene
Where pots remain serviceable, they may be reused subject to the nursery's crop-hygiene requirements. Remove old substrate and plant material, inspect the container for damage and clean or disinfect as appropriate before the next crop cycle.

Yes. The selling unit is one pot. What capacity is this pot?
The stated nominal capacity is 70L. What is this pot suitable for?
It is intended for container production and handling of larger trees and shrubs. What growing medium should I use?
Use a professional substrate appropriate to the crop, container size and irrigation system, with suitable structure, drainage, aeration and moisture retention. How should larger pots be watered?
Check moisture through the root zone and adjust irrigation to crop size, rooting, weather and substrate behaviour rather than relying on a fixed timetable. Can the pot be reused?
Yes where it remains serviceable and nursery hygiene requirements are met. Remove old substrate and clean appropriately before reuse. What should I consider when moving a filled pot?
A filled and watered container can be very heavy. Use appropriate manual-handling methods or mechanical assistance where required. How do I choose between pot sizes?
Match container volume to crop vigour, root development, production period and intended finished-plant size. Do the handles mean the pot can always be lifted by one person?
No. Handles can assist positioning, but the filled weight may still require team handling or mechanical assistance. How many pots are on a full pallet?

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.

25L Round Plant Pot FAQs
What are the dimensions of the 25L Round Pot?
The pot measures approximately 39cm across the upper rim, 31cm across the base and 28.5cm high.
What can I grow in a 25L plant pot?
A 25L pot is suitable for many tomatoes, chillies, peppers, aubergines, shrubs, large perennials, climbing plants, fruit plants, ornamentals and larger nursery crops.
Is a 25L pot big enough for tomatoes?
Yes. Twenty-five litres provides substantial root volume for container-grown tomatoes and is a useful final pot size for many varieties.
Is a 25L pot suitable for chillies and peppers?
Yes. A 25L container provides generous root space for larger chilli and pepper plants and can be used as a final container for many varieties.
Can I use the 25L pot for living soil?
Yes. The larger soil volume and broad surface area make it well suited to living soil, organic growing and top-dress programmes.

The 10L Round Plant Pot is a versatile black horticultural grow pot for established plants, vegetables, ornamentals and nursery stock. Measuring approximately 29cm across the upper rim, 21cm across the base and 22cm high, it provides a useful 10 litre root volume while remaining compact and easy to handle.
Ten litres is a highly practical intermediate and finishing container size, providing considerably more root space than smaller propagation pots without the footprint of larger 15L, 20L or 25L containers.
The traditional tapered round profile makes the pot suitable for professional nursery production as well as greenhouse, polytunnel, indoor and outdoor growing. It can be used with peat-free compost, peat-based growing media, soil mixes, coco coir, living soil and other suitable horticultural substrates.
Its broad upper opening makes planting, top-dressing and crop maintenance straightforward, while the tapered sides help plants and established root balls release when repotting or transplanting.
Why choose the 10L Round Plant Pot?
- 10 litre capacity - useful root volume for established plants and productive crops.
- 29cm upper rim - generous opening for planting, watering and top-dressing.
- 22cm high - provides useful depth for continued root development.
- 21cm base - practical tapered nursery-pot profile.
- Excellent potting-on size - ideal for moving established plants on from smaller containers.
- Versatile finishing pot - suitable as the final container for many medium-sized crops and ornamentals.
- Suitable for peat-free growing - compatible with modern peat-free composts.
- Suitable for coco - works with coco coir and coco-based substrates.
- Suitable for living soil - can accommodate biologically active growing media where the volume suits the crop.
- Indoor & outdoor use - suitable for nurseries, greenhouses, polytunnels, grow rooms and gardens.
- Reusable - sound pots can be cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
- Compatible saucer available - fits the 30cm saucer, product code P00019.
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.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for the professional horticultural industry. Its range of pots, carry trays and related products is designed specifically around the needs of commercial growers, nurseries and garden retailers.
This specialist horticultural focus is particularly relevant with products such as the slotted pot range. Features such as the integrated label position address a genuine nursery requirement, allowing crop identification and presentation to be incorporated into the container itself.
Aeroplas also has a longstanding involvement in the horticultural plastics sector and the industry's work towards more practical recycling and circular use of plastic products, alongside the benefits of manufacturing here in the UK.
Integrated 25mm plant label slot
Reliable plant identification is essential throughout commercial production. Different cultivars can appear extremely similar during early growth, while retail plants need clear identification and care information for customers.
The integrated 25mm label slot provides a defined location for a compatible plant label. This keeps identification directly associated with the container and avoids the need to add a separate external label holder or clip.
Labels can be used for cultivar names, crop information, barcodes, pricing, care instructions or branded retail information depending on the grower's requirements and the label system being used.
Taupe finish for a more retail-friendly presentation
Taupe provides a neutral, understated alternative to traditional black nursery plastic. Its softer appearance works particularly well with plants being produced for garden centre and retail environments.
This makes the 0.9L slotted pot useful where growers want one container to perform both production and presentation roles. Plants can be grown, labelled, transported and sold in the same pot without necessarily requiring an additional decorative outer container.
Ideal for nursery & retail plant production
The 0.9L format is suitable for a wide range of appropriate crops, including:
- Young ornamental plants
- Herbs
- Bedding plants
- Rooted cuttings being grown on
- Seed-raised plants
- Compact perennials
- Seasonal flowering plants
- Retail-ready nursery plants
The correct container size will depend on the individual crop, its root development, growth rate and the length of time it is expected to remain in the pot.
Growing in a 0.9L nursery pot
A 0.9L container provides a useful intermediate growing volume for plants that have progressed beyond small propagation cells but do not yet require a larger finished container.
Select a professional growing medium appropriate to the crop, with the required balance of moisture retention, drainage, aeration and nutrient availability. Avoid excessive compaction during filling, as healthy root development requires adequate air within the growing medium.
Monitor moisture according to the crop and environmental conditions rather than relying on a fixed irrigation timetable. Smaller containers can dry relatively quickly as plants establish and develop a larger canopy.
Designed for commercial growing at scale
The combination of a practical 0.9L volume, integrated labelling and professional presentation makes this Aeroplas pot particularly suitable for growers producing plants in quantity for wholesale and retail markets.
Standardising around a consistent pot and label format can simplify potting, crop identification, stock management, picking and dispatch across a commercial nursery.
With 6,480 pots per full pallet, the format is suitable for substantial production programmes while retaining the flexibility required for multiple plant varieties and product lines.

The Modiform ORC15 is a purpose-designed 15cm transparent orchid pot combining excellent drainage, high transparency and a professional 1.41 litre growing volume for orchid production, potting-on and retail presentation.
Unlike a conventional opaque nursery pot, the ORC15 is manufactured specifically for orchids. Its highly transparent construction allows the root system and growing medium to remain visible, making it easier to monitor root development, moisture levels and general plant condition without repeatedly disturbing the plant.
The specialised base incorporates generous drainage, helping excess irrigation water leave the container efficiently. This is particularly important for epiphytic orchids grown in free-draining bark and specialist orchid substrates where prolonged waterlogging around the roots should be avoided.
With an actual top diameter of approximately 14.7cm, a height of 13.2cm and a volume of 1.41 litres, the ORC15 is a practical professional production pot for established orchids requiring more root volume than smaller propagation and nursery sizes.
Why choose the Modiform ORC15 Orchid Pot?
- Purpose-designed for orchids - part of Modiform's specialist professional orchid pot range.
- Highly transparent construction - allows easy inspection of roots and growing media.
- Excellent drainage - specialised base design allows excess irrigation water to escape efficiently.
- 1.41L growing volume - useful capacity for established orchids and potting-on.
- 14.7cm actual diameter - commercially classed as a 15cm orchid pot.
- 13.2cm high - provides useful depth while maintaining the specialist orchid-pot format.
- Professional production design - suitable for nurseries, specialist orchid growers and retail plant production.
- Root visibility - helps growers assess root colour, condition and development without removing the plant.
- Easier irrigation assessment - visibility of the substrate helps indicate whether the growing medium is still moist or approaching the next irrigation point.
- Retail-friendly presentation - the clear container allows healthy roots to remain visible to the customer.
Why do orchids benefit from transparent pots?
Many commonly cultivated orchids, particularly epiphytic types such as Phalaenopsis, develop thick specialised roots that behave differently from the roots of conventional soil-grown plants.
A transparent pot makes those roots visible, giving the grower a useful indication of plant condition and moisture status. Healthy orchid roots can change appearance as they move between wet and dry conditions, making visual inspection a valuable part of irrigation management.
Transparency also allows light to reach roots around the outside of the container, closely matching the exposed or semi-exposed root environment experienced by many epiphytic orchids in nature.
Specialist drainage for orchid substrates
Modiform lists perfect drainage as one of the key design features of its professional orchid pot range.
The ORC15 incorporates substantial openings in the base, allowing irrigation water to move rapidly through an appropriate free-draining growing medium. This helps prevent water from remaining trapped at the bottom of the container.
Good drainage is especially important when using coarse orchid bark and other open substrates. The container and growing medium should work together to provide moisture around the roots while retaining sufficient air space for healthy root function.
Monitor roots without disturbing the plant
One of the most useful advantages of the ORC15 is the ability to inspect the root system through the side of the container.
Growers can monitor root development, substrate condition and moisture without repeatedly lifting the orchid from its pot. This can help identify when a plant is establishing well, when the growing medium is breaking down or when the orchid may be approaching the point where repotting is required.
For commercial production, transparent containers can also make routine crop inspection faster because root development can be assessed without destructive sampling.
Choosing a growing medium
The ORC15 should be paired with a growing medium appropriate to the orchid species being cultivated. For many epiphytic orchids this means a coarse, open and well-aerated substrate rather than conventional multipurpose compost.
Suitable media may include graded orchid bark or specialist orchid mixes incorporating materials selected to balance drainage, moisture retention and air-filled porosity.
Avoid tightly compacting the medium around the root system. Orchid roots generally perform best where the substrate retains an open structure and irrigation water can drain freely.
Watering orchids in a transparent pot
The clear walls make it considerably easier to judge conditions inside the container before watering. Rather than watering solely according to a fixed calendar, the grower can inspect the roots and growing medium and irrigate according to actual plant conditions.
After irrigation, allow excess water to drain completely through the base. If the ORC15 is placed inside a decorative outer pot, ensure water is not left permanently standing around the bottom of the growing pot.
Irrigation frequency will vary with orchid species, substrate, temperature, humidity, plant size and season.
Professional nursery & retail production
Modiform's ORC range is designed for professional orchid production as well as individual specialist growers.
The ORC15 combines a consistent commercial format with the practical benefits of high transparency and specialist drainage. Its 1.41 litre capacity provides useful growing volume for larger production plants while retaining a manageable 15cm nominal diameter.
For volume users, the ORC15 is supplied in commercial quantities, with Modiform listing a standard pallet quantity of 9,240 pots.

Modiform 15cm Transparent Orchid Pot FAQs
What is the capacity of the Modiform ORC15?
The ORC15 has a growing volume of approximately 1.41 litres, or 1,410cc. What are the actual dimensions of the ORC15?
Although commercially described as a 15cm pot, Modiform specifies an actual diameter of approximately 14.7cm and a height of approximately 13.2cm. Why are orchid pots transparent?
A transparent pot allows the root system and growing medium to be inspected without removing the plant. It also allows light to reach roots growing around the outside of the container. Is the ORC15 suitable for Phalaenopsis orchids?
Yes. Transparent, well-drained containers are particularly useful for commonly cultivated epiphytic orchids such as Phalaenopsis, provided the pot size and growing medium are appropriate for the individual plant. Does the Modiform ORC15 have drainage holes?
Yes. The ORC15 is designed with substantial base drainage, which Modiform identifies as a key feature of its professional orchid pot range. What growing medium should I use?
Use a medium appropriate to the orchid species. Many epiphytic orchids perform well in coarse orchid bark or specialist open mixes designed to provide both moisture retention and good root aeration. Can I put the clear pot inside a decorative planter?
Yes. Transparent orchid growing pots are commonly placed inside decorative outer pots. Remove or drain any standing water after irrigation so the growing pot is not left permanently sitting in water. How can the clear pot help with watering?
Being able to see the roots and growing medium gives a much better indication of conditions inside the container, allowing irrigation decisions to be based on the plant and substrate rather than a fixed watering schedule. When should an orchid be moved into a 15cm pot?
Pot size should be chosen according to the root system rather than foliage size alone. Orchids generally perform better in a suitably close-fitting container than in a pot containing a large volume of unused growing medium. Is this pot suitable for commercial orchid production?
Yes. The ORC15 forms part of Modiform's professional orchid pot range and is suitable for nursery production, specialist orchid growing and retail plant presentation. How many ORC15 pots are supplied on a pallet?
Modiform lists a standard pallet quantity of 9,240 ORC15 pots. Commercial pallet quantities can be subject to current manufacturer packing arrangements. Can the pot be reused?
Where the pot remains in good condition it can be reused. For professional propagation or nursery applications, clean and sanitise previously used containers appropriately before introducing another plant.
The 18L Square Pot is a professional growing container designed for professional container production where efficient bench or floor spacing is useful.
The 18L format provides substantial root volume for crops that need more space than standard nursery pots, while the container style is intended for repeated handling through production, spacing, irrigation and dispatch.
Sold individually.
Key benefits
- 18L nominal capacity
- Designed for professional container production where efficient bench or floor spacing is useful
- Single-pot selling unit
- Suitable for professional nursery, landscape and tree production
- Square footprint for efficient growing-space use
Efficient container production
The 18L square format is useful where growers want to organise crops efficiently across benches, beds or standing areas. Square pots can reduce unused gaps between adjacent containers compared with equivalent round formats.
Match the container volume to the crop and production period, allowing adequate root space without creating an excessively wet or slow-drying root zone.
Choosing the growing medium
Use a professional growing medium appropriate to the crop, container size and irrigation system. Larger pots need a substrate with enough structure to maintain air-filled porosity and drainage throughout the production period while retaining sufficient available moisture.
Avoid excessive compaction during filling. Settle the medium consistently and leave suitable watering space at the top of the container.
Irrigation & root-zone management
Container size has a major effect on drying behaviour. Check moisture through the root zone rather than judging only the surface, and adjust irrigation frequency and volume as crop size, weather and rooting increase.
Ensure drainage points remain clear and avoid leaving containers standing in prolonged saturation unless the crop and production system are specifically designed for it.
Handling, spacing & stability
Position larger pots on a stable, well-drained growing surface and allow sufficient spacing for crop development and access. Consider wind exposure as top-heavy trees and shrubs develop.
Filled containers can be substantially heavier than their nominal litre capacity suggests. Use appropriate lifting and handling methods, particularly with the larger sizes in this range.
Reuse & crop hygiene
Where pots remain serviceable, they may be reused subject to the nursery's crop-hygiene requirements. Remove old substrate and plant material, inspect the container for damage and clean or disinfect as appropriate before the next crop cycle.

The 6.5L Square Plant Pot is a strong, reusable black plastic grow pot designed for efficient container growing in nurseries, greenhouses, grow rooms and home gardens. Its space-saving square profile allows pots to sit closely together while the deep container provides useful root volume for established plants.
Made from robust recycled plastic, this practical 6.5 litre pot is suitable for repeated use and provides a cost-effective alternative to lightweight disposable growing containers.
The square shape makes particularly efficient use of growing space. Unlike round containers, square pots can be positioned closely together with considerably less unused space between them, helping maximise the number of plants that can be accommodated on benches, floors and growing areas.
Pre-formed drainage holes in the base allow excess irrigation water to escape from the growing medium, helping maintain an appropriate balance between moisture retention and root-zone aeration.
Suitable for use with soil, peat-based compost, coco coir and compatible soilless growing media, the 6.5L Square Pot is a versatile choice for both professional horticulture and home growing.
Why choose a 6.5L square plant pot?
- 6.5 litre capacity - a useful intermediate container size for established plants.
- Space-saving square design - allows pots to sit closely together with less wasted growing space.
- Robust construction - designed to withstand regular handling and repeated use.
- Recycled plastic - manufactured from recycled material for a more resource-efficient growing container.
- Good drainage - base drainage holes allow excess irrigation water to escape.
- Deep root zone - provides useful vertical growing volume for developing root systems.
- Stable footprint - square base provides good stability on benches and growing floors.
- Easy to arrange - straight sides make efficient layouts simple in nurseries and grow rooms.
- Suitable for soil - use with conventional potting compost and specialist soil mixes.
- Suitable for coco - works well with coco coir and coco-based growing media.
- Indoor & outdoor use - suitable for grow rooms, greenhouses, polytunnels, patios and gardens.
- Professional or home growing - a straightforward container for nurseries, horticultural businesses and home gardeners.
- 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.

6.5L Square Plant Pot FAQs
What is a 6.5L square pot suitable for?
A 6.5L pot provides a useful intermediate amount of root volume and can be used for a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, ornamentals and nursery crops. Suitability for finishing a plant depends on the species and expected final size.
Why use square plant pots instead of round pots?
Square pots can be positioned closely together with less unused space between containers. This makes them particularly efficient on greenhouse benches, nursery beds and indoor growing areas.
Does the 6.5L Square Pot have drainage holes?
Yes. The pot has pre-formed drainage openings that allow excess irrigation water to drain from the growing medium.
Can this pot be used with coco coir?
Yes. The 6.5L Square Pot is suitable for coco and coco-based substrates. Irrigation frequency should be adjusted to suit the drainage characteristics of the substrate and the needs of the crop.
Can I use this pot with normal compost?
Yes. It can be filled with conventional potting compost, peat-free compost, soil-based mixes and other suitable horticultural growing media.
Is the 6.5L Square Pot suitable for living soil?
Yes. Living soil can be used in the pot, although growers should consider whether 6.5L provides sufficient soil volume for their particular crop and biological growing method.
Can the pot be used outdoors?
Yes. It is suitable for outdoor gardens, patios and allotments as well as indoor grow rooms, greenhouses and polytunnels.
Is this pot suitable for professional nurseries?
Yes. Its square footprint, practical capacity and reusable construction make it suitable for nursery and commercial horticultural applications as well as home growing.
Are square pots good for greenhouse benches?
Yes. Their straight sides allow efficient spacing and neat layouts, helping growers make better use of available greenhouse bench area.
Can the 6.5L pot be reused?
Yes. Pots that remain in good condition can be cleaned and reused. Good crop hygiene is recommended before transferring containers between plants or production cycles.
Do I need a saucer underneath the pot?
Not necessarily. A saucer or drainage tray is useful where runoff needs to be collected, particularly indoors or on protected surfaces. In free-draining production areas, runoff may instead be managed by the growing system.
Is a 6.5L square pot suitable for automated irrigation?
Yes. Square pots are commonly used with drip irrigation and other automated watering arrangements. Irrigation volume and frequency should be matched to the crop and growing medium.
Is this a decorative planter?
No. This is a functional horticultural grow pot designed primarily for plant production and container cultivation rather than decorative display.
What are the advantages of a deeper square plant pot?
A deeper profile provides useful vertical root space while maintaining a relatively compact footprint, making it useful where growers want reasonable substrate volume without sacrificing too much growing area.

- Indoor & outdoor use - suitable for professional production and home growing environments.
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.
- 9.5cm base - compact footprint while maintaining good container stability.
- Classic round profile - versatile horticultural format for a wide range of crops.

- Indoor & outdoor use - suitable for nurseries, greenhouses, polytunnels and general gardening.
- 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.

Measuring approximately 9cm across the upper rim, 6.5cm across the base and 10cm high, its square format makes particularly efficient use of valuable nursery, propagation and greenhouse bench space.
Half-litre pots provide a useful next step for plants that have established in plug trays, propagation cells or smaller starter pots. The additional growing-medium volume gives developing roots more room while keeping the container compact and easy to manage.
The square profile allows pots to be positioned closely together, helping growers maximise the number of plants that can be accommodated within a given production area. This makes square pots especially useful for commercial propagation and nursery production where bench-space efficiency matters.
The pot's tapered sides make plants straightforward to remove when potting-on and allow empty containers to nest together for efficient storage.
Suitable for peat-based and peat-free compost, propagation mixes, soil, coco coir and other horticultural growing media, this versatile 0.5L pot can be used by professional growers and home gardeners alike.

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.

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:

- 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.

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.

Yes. Living soil can be used, although growers should consider whether 15 litres provides sufficient soil volume for the crop and biological growing method being used.
Is 15L large enough as a final plant pot?
For many medium-sized ornamental and edible plants it can be. Large, vigorous or long-lived plants may eventually require additional root volume.
Is the 15L pot suitable for professional nurseries?
Yes. Its capacity and conventional tapered profile make it useful for growing and finishing established nursery stock.
Can the 15L pot be used outdoors?
Yes. It is suitable for outdoor cultivation as well as greenhouses, nurseries, polytunnels and indoor growing environments.
Why use a saucer under a 15L plant pot?
A saucer helps collect excess irrigation runoff and can protect greenhouse benches, patios, floors and other surfaces around the pot.
Can this plant pot be reused?
Yes. Pots that remain in sound condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
When should I move a plant into a 15L pot?
Consider potting-on once roots have established throughout the existing container and the plant needs additional growing-medium volume for continued development.
Does a 15L pot need watering less often than a small pot?
The larger substrate volume can retain more total moisture, but irrigation frequency still depends on plant size, root development, growing medium, temperature, light and other environmental conditions.

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.

- Established herbs
- Strawberry plants
- Young tomato plants
- Compact vegetables
- Seasonal flowering plants
- Herbaceous perennials
- Young shrubs
- Climbing plants
- General nursery stock
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

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based British manufacturer producing specialist plastic products for professional horticulture. Its pot and tray ranges are developed specifically around the needs of commercial plant production, handling and retail.
For UK nurseries and growers, domestically manufactured pots can also form part of a shorter, more resilient horticultural supply chain while supporting British manufacturing.
Aeroplas has an established focus on the changing requirements surrounding horticultural plastics, including the need to make plant pots practical not only for growers but also for the wider horticultural supply and recycling chain.
Why choose a low-profile 9cm pot?
A low pot is useful where a crop requires the growing area of a 9cm container but does not need the additional depth and growing-media volume of a taller format.
This can be advantageous for compact bedding plants, young ornamentals, seasonal crops and other relatively short-cycle plants. Using a container appropriately sized for the crop can help growers avoid unnecessary substrate consumption while maintaining sufficient root volume for the intended production stage.
The lower profile can also help create a compact finished plant presentation where the container should remain visually secondary to the crop.
Suitable for propagation, bedding & young plant production
The Aeroplas 9cm Low Pot can be incorporated into a wide range of professional production programmes, including:
- Bedding plants
- Young ornamental plants
- Rooted cuttings
- Seed-raised plants
- Seasonal plant production
- Herbs and selected edible crops
- Nursery propagation programmes
- Short-cycle container crops
- Retail-ready young plants
Thermoformed for efficient commercial production
Thermoformed pots are widely used within professional horticulture because they provide an efficient combination of low weight, consistent shape and economical high-volume production.
The reduced material weight makes large quantities easier to handle and transport through nursery operations, while the consistent pot format supports repeatable filling, potting and crop-spacing routines.
For growers producing plants by the thousand, these small efficiencies can become significant across an entire production programme.
Choosing growing media for a 9cm nursery pot
Select the growing medium according to the crop rather than the pot alone. Most young plant and bedding production requires a consistent professional substrate that provides an appropriate balance of air-filled porosity, moisture retention, nutrient availability and structural stability.
Because smaller and shallower containers contain less substrate than larger pots, moisture conditions can change relatively quickly. Irrigation frequency should therefore be based on crop demand, environmental conditions and actual substrate moisture rather than a fixed watering schedule.
Watering plants in low-profile pots
Low-profile containers require good irrigation management. Their smaller growing-media volume means they can respond quickly to warm temperatures, high light levels and vigorous plant growth.
Check moisture regularly and irrigate sufficiently to wet the root zone evenly while allowing excess water to drain. Avoid maintaining the substrate permanently saturated, as good root development depends on an appropriate balance between moisture and oxygen.
Commercial growers should adjust irrigation according to crop type, plant size, growing medium, weather and the production environment.
Designed for high-volume nursery production
With 22,752 pots on a full pallet, this Aeroplas format is clearly designed with commercial production in mind.
The combination of compact dimensions, lightweight thermoformed construction and high pallet density makes it suitable for nurseries producing large batches of uniform young plants or seasonal crops.
Standardising around a consistent pot format can also simplify growing-media calculations, potting operations, crop spacing, stock management and order planning.

Aeroplas 9cm Low Pot FAQs
Where are Aeroplas pots manufactured?
Aeroplas manufactures horticultural products in the West Midlands, UK, supplying professional growers, nurseries and horticultural businesses. What does low-profile mean on a 9cm plant pot?
It means the container has a shallower format than a conventional deeper pot of a similar nominal width. This can suit crops that need an appropriate surface area without unnecessary additional growing-media depth. What is a thermoformed plant pot?
A thermoformed pot is produced by forming heated plastic into the required pot shape. The process allows lightweight, consistent pots to be manufactured efficiently for high-volume horticultural production. What plants are suitable for a 9cm low pot?
The format can suit many bedding plants, young ornamentals, rooted cuttings, seedlings, herbs and other compact or relatively short-cycle crops. The correct pot size ultimately depends on the plant and intended production period. Is this pot suitable for commercial bedding plant production?
Yes. Its compact size, low profile and high-volume format make it particularly suitable for professional bedding and seasonal plant programmes. Why would I choose a low pot instead of a deeper 9cm pot?
A low pot can reduce unnecessary growing-media volume where the crop does not require a deep root zone. This can make it a more efficient format for suitable short-cycle and compact plants. Can plants be sold in the Aeroplas 9cm pot?
Yes. The black finish gives the pot a conventional professional nursery appearance that is suitable for plants moving from production into wholesale or retail environments. How often should plants in a 9cm low pot be watered?
There is no fixed schedule. Irrigation should be based on the crop, growing medium, temperature, light, plant size and actual moisture level. Smaller low-profile containers can dry relatively quickly under demanding conditions. What growing medium should I use?
Choose a professional growing medium suited to the crop and irrigation system. For young plant production, good structure, drainage, aeration and appropriate moisture retention are particularly important. Are Aeroplas pots designed for professional growers?
Yes. Aeroplas specialises in horticultural products for commercial production, and this high-volume thermoformed pot is particularly suited to professional nursery workflows. Why does UK manufacturing matter for a commercial nursery?
UK manufacturing provides growers with access to domestically produced horticultural products and supports a shorter British supply chain, which can be valuable when planning repeat commercial production. How many Aeroplas 9cm Low Pots are supplied on a pallet?
A full pallet contains 22,752 pots, providing an efficient bulk quantity for high-volume nursery and bedding plant production.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer producing pots, trays and other plastic products for the professional horticultural industry.
Rather than being a general-purpose container adapted for growing, the Aeroplas horticultural range is developed around the practical requirements of commercial nurseries, plant producers and garden retailers.
Aeroplas also has a longstanding involvement in the horticultural plastics sector and the industry's move towards more practical recycling and circular use of plastic products. For professional growers, the combination of specialist horticultural design and UK production provides a strong alternative to generic imported nursery pots.
Why use a low-profile 10.5cm pot?
Container depth should suit the crop being produced. A deeper pot is not automatically better if the additional root volume is unnecessary during the intended production period.
The Aeroplas 10.5cm Low Pot provides the width of a useful nursery container while keeping the overall profile compact. For appropriate crops, this can reduce the amount of growing medium required per plant compared with moving directly into a deeper container.
Across a large commercial production run, even modest reductions in unnecessary substrate volume can become significant, particularly for bedding and seasonal crops produced in high numbers.
Ideal for bedding plants & commercial nursery production
The 10.5cm low format can be used across a broad range of professional crop programmes, including:
- Bedding plants
- Young ornamental plants
- Rooted cuttings being grown on
- Seed-raised plants
- Herbs and selected edible crops
- Seasonal flowering plants
- Compact nursery crops
- Retail-ready young plants
Crop suitability will ultimately depend on the plant's root system, growth rate, intended production period and required finished size.
Thermoformed for efficient high-volume growing
Thermoformed pots are widely used by professional growers because they combine low weight with consistent dimensions and efficient large-scale manufacture.
Lightweight containers are easier to handle in quantity, while a consistent pot format supports repeatable potting, spacing, irrigation and dispatch processes throughout the nursery.
These advantages become increasingly important where thousands of plants are being produced to the same specification.
Efficient use of professional growing media
The low-profile format makes this pot particularly useful where growers want sufficient root-zone space without filling unnecessary container depth.
Select the growing medium according to the crop and production system. A suitable professional substrate should provide the required balance of moisture retention, drainage, aeration, nutrient availability and structural stability.
Fill pots consistently without excessive compaction. Maintaining a repeatable bulk density across a production batch helps promote more uniform irrigation and root development.
Managing irrigation in low-profile pots
Smaller and shallower containers can respond relatively quickly to changes in temperature, light and plant water demand because the available growing-media volume is lower than in larger pots.
Monitor the substrate rather than watering solely to a fixed timetable. Irrigation frequency will vary according to crop type, plant size, growing medium, environmental conditions and production stage.
Water thoroughly enough to wet the active root zone while allowing excess moisture to drain. Avoid maintaining the growing medium continuously saturated, as healthy roots require both moisture and oxygen.
Built for commercial production at scale
A full pallet contains 15,912 Aeroplas 10.5cm Low Pots, making this a genuinely commercial format for nurseries producing substantial crop volumes.
Standardising production around a consistent pot can simplify substrate calculations, potting operations, bench planning, irrigation management, stock control and customer order preparation.
The black finish also means plants can progress from production through wholesale and into retail without requiring a separate decorative container for many conventional nursery applications.

It can suit many bedding plants, young ornamentals, herbs, rooted cuttings, seedlings and compact seasonal crops. The appropriate container depends on the individual plant and how long it will remain in the pot. Why choose a low pot instead of a standard-depth pot?
For suitable crops, a low pot can provide sufficient growing space while reducing unnecessary substrate volume. This can be particularly useful in high-volume, relatively short-cycle production. Is this pot intended for professional growers?
Yes. Its thermoformed construction, high pallet quantity and nursery-focused format make it particularly suited to commercial plant production. Can plants be retailed in the black pot?
Yes. Black nursery pots provide a familiar, neutral presentation that can move with the crop from production through wholesale and into garden centre or plant retail environments. Does a low pot need watering more frequently?
Potentially, depending on the crop and conditions. A lower growing-media volume can dry more quickly under warm, bright or windy conditions, so irrigation should be based on actual substrate moisture and plant demand. Can I use peat-free growing media in this pot?
Yes, provided the chosen growing medium is suitable for the crop and production system. Irrigation and feeding should be managed according to the physical and nutritional characteristics of that particular substrate. Is UK manufacture useful for commercial growers?
For UK businesses, domestically manufactured horticultural products can support a shorter supply chain while providing access to products developed specifically for the professional British horticultural market. How should empty pots be stored?
Keep unused pots clean, dry and protected from unnecessary crushing or damage until required for production. How many Aeroplas 10.5cm Low Pots are supplied on a pallet?
A full pallet contains 15,912 pots, making it suitable for high-volume bedding, seasonal and nursery plant production.

The Modiform ORC9 is a highly transparent 9cm orchid pot designed specifically for professional orchid production, providing excellent root visibility, effective drainage and a compact 345ml growing volume.
Orchids have very different root-zone requirements from many conventional container plants. The ORC9 combines a highly transparent pot body with a specialist drainage base, helping growers maintain the open, well-drained growing conditions required by many commercially produced orchids.
Its clear construction makes the root system and growing medium visible without removing the plant from its container. This is particularly useful when assessing root development, moisture levels and general root-zone condition during production.
With an actual upper diameter of approximately 8.8cm, a height of approximately 8.4cm and a volume of 345ml, the ORC9 is a compact professional format suited to young orchids, smaller specimens and propagation or growing-on stages.

See the orchid root system without disturbing the plant
One of the main advantages of a transparent orchid pot is the ability to assess what is happening below the surface of the growing medium.
Root condition can provide useful information about both plant health and moisture status. Rather than lifting an orchid from its pot to inspect the root system, growers can observe much of the root zone directly through the transparent container.
This is particularly useful with orchids such as Phalaenopsis, where visible roots can help growers judge changes in moisture and identify developing root problems earlier.
Specialist drainage for orchid growing
Modiform describes its orchid pot range as providing perfect drainage, with a specialist base designed to allow irrigation water to move freely away from the root zone.
This is important because many orchids are naturally adapted to highly aerated root environments and perform poorly when their roots remain continually saturated.
The pot should therefore be used with an appropriate free-draining orchid growing medium and an irrigation regime suited to the particular species, crop stage and growing environment.
Ideal for young orchids & specialist plants
The compact ORC9 is particularly useful for smaller orchids and plants progressing through earlier production stages. Its 345ml volume provides a controlled root environment without unnecessarily over-potting a young plant.
Typical applications include:
- Young Phalaenopsis orchids
- Smaller orchid varieties
- Orchid propagation and growing-on
- Young epiphytic plants
- Specialist plants where visible roots are useful
- Professional orchid nursery production
- Retail-ready orchid plants
Pot size should always be selected according to the actual root mass rather than simply the size of the foliage. Orchids generally benefit from an appropriately sized container rather than excessive unused growing-media volume.
Choosing growing media for the ORC9
The ORC9 is designed to work with the open, free-draining substrates commonly used for orchids. Suitable media vary according to species and production system but may include appropriately graded orchid bark and other specialist components selected to maintain air around the roots.
Avoid treating an orchid pot like a conventional soil-filled plant pot. The physical structure of the growing medium is particularly important because orchid roots require an appropriate balance of moisture and aeration.
The transparent pot makes it considerably easier to observe the condition of both the roots and growing medium as irrigation practices are adjusted.
Using a transparent pot to manage watering
A clear orchid pot gives growers another useful indicator when deciding whether irrigation is required. Root appearance, visible moisture and the condition of the growing medium can all be considered alongside the weight of the pot and the requirements of the individual orchid.
Water thoroughly when required and allow excess water to drain freely. Avoid allowing the container to remain standing in water for prolonged periods unless this forms part of a specific production method appropriate to the crop.
Irrigation frequency will vary considerably with temperature, humidity, airflow, plant size and the type of growing medium used, so a fixed watering schedule is rarely appropriate.
Professional Modiform orchid production pot
The ORC9 is part of Modiform's specialist orchid container range, developed for efficient professional production rather than simply being a standard nursery pot manufactured in clear plastic.
Its combination of transparency, drainage and consistent dimensions makes it suitable for growers producing orchids in substantial numbers while still offering the visual benefits valued by specialist retailers and consumers.
With 41,080 pots per full pallet, the ORC9 is available in the quantities required for large-scale professional orchid production.

Modiform ORC9 9cm Orchid Pot FAQs
What is the actual size of the Modiform ORC9?
The ORC9 is sold as a nominal 9cm orchid pot. Modiform specifies an upper diameter of approximately 8.8cm, a height of approximately 8.4cm and a volume of 345ml. Why are transparent pots useful for orchids?
A transparent pot allows the roots and growing medium to be inspected without removing the plant from its container, making it easier to monitor root development and moisture conditions. Is the ORC9 designed specifically for orchids?
Yes. ORC9 is part of Modiform's specialist transparent orchid pot range and incorporates a base designed around the drainage requirements of orchid production. What volume does the ORC9 hold?
The Modiform ORC9 has a specified volume of 345cc, equivalent to 345ml or 0.345 litres. Is the ORC9 suitable for Phalaenopsis orchids?
It can be suitable for appropriately sized Phalaenopsis plants, particularly where the existing root mass suits the compact 345ml container. Select the pot according to root volume rather than foliage size alone. What growing medium should I use?
Use a specialist orchid substrate appropriate to the species and growing conditions. Many orchids require a relatively open, free-draining medium that maintains air around the roots. Can I monitor watering through the clear pot?
Yes. The transparent body allows growers to observe visible moisture, the growing medium and much of the root system, providing useful additional information when deciding whether irrigation is required. Can the ORC9 be placed inside a decorative orchid planter?
Yes, provided the outer planter is appropriately sized and does not cause water to remain around the base of the growing pot after irrigation. Is this only suitable for commercial growers?
No. Although designed for professional orchid production, the same transparency and drainage characteristics make it useful for specialist orchid growers and home enthusiasts. When should I move an orchid into a larger pot?
Repot when the root system, growing medium or plant condition indicates that additional space or fresh substrate is required. Avoid automatically moving orchids into oversized containers, as an appropriately sized root zone is generally preferable. Can the clear pot help identify unhealthy roots?
Yes. Visibility makes it easier to notice changes in root condition without disturbing the plant, although root appearance varies between orchid species and with moisture status. How many Modiform ORC9 pots are supplied on a pallet?
The current commercial pallet quantity for the ORC9 is 41,080 pots. Pallet quantities can change, so large-volume customers should confirm current packing information when ordering.
