The Aeroplas Bajos 3L Terracotta Planter is a robust injection moulded plant pot designed for professional nursery production, repeated handling and attractive retail presentation.

With a nominal capacity of 3 litres, this compact professional planter is well suited to perennials, young shrubs, ornamental grasses, herbs, seasonal plants and other nursery crops requiring a durable intermediate or finished container.

The Bajos range uses injection moulded construction to create a rigid pot capable of standing up to the regular handling associated with commercial horticulture. Its substantial upper rim provides a practical handling edge, while the moulded body maintains a consistent shape throughout production.

Multiple drainage openings are incorporated into the base to allow excess irrigation water to escape from the growing medium. The tapered profile also enables empty pots to nest together efficiently, helping reduce storage requirements before potting.

Finished in traditional terracotta, the 3L Bajos offers a more decorative appearance than a conventional black production pot, making it particularly useful for plants that will remain in the same container from nursery production through to retail.

Manufactured by Aeroplas in the West Midlands, UK, the 3L Bajos Planter is supplied in commercial quantities of 6,400 pots per full pallet.

Heavy duty injection moulded construction

Professional nursery pots can pass through numerous handling stages during a crop cycle, including filling, planting, spacing, irrigation, picking, transport and retail preparation.

Injection moulding gives the Bajos a rigid construction suited to these repeated handling requirements. This makes it particularly useful where growers require something more substantial than a lightweight production container.

The formed upper rim provides a defined handling edge, while the consistent moulded body helps the container retain its shape throughout normal nursery use.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas

Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for professional horticulture.

Its range includes pots, planters, carry trays and related products developed around the practical requirements of commercial growers, nurseries and garden retailers.

The Bajos range combines professional production functionality with a traditional planter appearance, providing growers with a container that can work effectively throughout both production and retail stages.

Multiple drainage openings

The base of the 3L Bajos incorporates multiple openings to allow surplus irrigation water to drain from the growing medium.

Effective drainage is important for maintaining an appropriate balance between moisture and air around the root system. Actual drainage performance will also depend on the growing medium, crop, irrigation method and surface beneath the container.

Use a substrate appropriate to the crop and avoid excessive compaction when filling, as suitable pore space within the growing medium supports both drainage and root-zone aeration.

Ideal for nursery & retail plant production

Three litres is a widely useful container volume for plants that have progressed beyond smaller propagation pots but do not require a larger shrub or specimen container.

  • Perennials
  • Young shrubs
  • Ornamental grasses
  • Herbs
  • Seasonal flowering plants
  • Patio plants
  • Young woody ornamentals
  • Retail-ready nursery stock

The correct pot size will depend on the individual crop, root system, growth rate and intended production period.

Traditional terracotta appearance

The warm terracotta finish provides a familiar plant-pot appearance that complements green foliage, flowering plants and a broad range of retail environments.

For growers producing retail-ready plants, this can remove the visual limitations of a conventional black production pot. Suitable crops can be grown, transported and displayed for sale in the same container.

The Bajos is manufactured from plastic rather than clay, providing the appearance of a terracotta-coloured planter without the weight and fragility associated with traditional terracotta pots.

Efficient storage for commercial growers

Empty nursery pots can occupy considerable warehouse and production space when purchased in commercial quantities.

The tapered Bajos design allows empty containers to nest closely together, making bulk storage and movement around the nursery more efficient.

With 6,400 pots on a full pallet, efficient nesting is particularly useful for growers purchasing containers for substantial seasonal or year-round production programmes.

Growing plants in a 3L pot

The 3L format provides useful growing space for plants moving on from smaller propagation containers, allowing additional room for continued root and canopy development.

Choose a professional growing medium suited to the crop, with an appropriate balance of moisture retention, drainage, aeration and nutrient availability.

Irrigation requirements will vary according to plant size, substrate, weather and growing environment. Monitor the moisture level of the growing medium regularly rather than relying solely on a fixed watering schedule.

Designed for commercial growing at scale

The combination of a versatile 3L capacity, rigid construction, drainage, efficient nesting and retail-friendly terracotta finish makes this Bajos planter suitable for high-volume professional nursery production.

Standardising on a consistent container can help simplify potting, spacing, handling, picking and dispatch across large crop programmes.

A full pallet contains 6,400 individual 3L planters, making this format particularly relevant to commercial growers and nurseries producing plants at scale.
