Unit price perEstimated delivery between November 01 and November 03.
The 5L Round Plant Pot is a versatile black horticultural grow pot for growing-on established plants, vegetables, herbs, ornamentals and nursery stock. Measuring approximately 23cm across the upper rim, 17cm across the base and 18cm high, it offers a useful balance between root volume and growing-space efficiency.
With a nominal capacity of 5 litres, this is a practical intermediate container for plants that have outgrown smaller propagation and nursery pots but do not yet require a large finishing container.
The traditional tapered round profile is suitable for professional nursery production, greenhouse and polytunnel growing, indoor cultivation and general garden use. It can be filled with peat-free compost, conventional potting substrates, coco coir, living soil and other suitable horticultural growing media.
Its broad upper opening provides convenient access for planting, watering and top-dressing, while the tapered profile makes established root balls easier to remove when plants are ready to be potted-on.
Why choose the 5L Round Plant Pot?
- 5 litre capacity - a highly versatile size for growing-on established plants.
- 23cm upper rim - provides good access for planting, watering and crop maintenance.
- 18cm high - useful growing depth for developing root systems.
- 17cm base - compact footprint for efficient use of growing space.
- Ideal potting-on size - useful between smaller propagation pots and larger finishing containers.
- Suitable for many crops - ideal for herbs, vegetables, ornamentals and nursery plants.
- Suitable for peat-free growing media - compatible with modern peat-free composts and substrates.
- Suitable for coco - can be used with coco coir and coco-based mixes.
- Suitable for living soil - appropriate where the crop and growing method suit a 5L root volume.
- Indoor & outdoor use - suitable for nurseries, greenhouses, polytunnels, grow rooms and gardens.
- Reusable - sound pots can be cleaned and used for subsequent crops.
- Compatible saucer available - fits the 30cm saucer, product code P00019.
What can you grow in a 5L pot?
Five-litre plant pots are widely used for growing-on established plants and can accommodate a broad range of edible and ornamental crops.
- Chilli and pepper plants
- 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
Pots that remain in good condition can be emptied, cleaned and reused for future plants.
Remove old growing medium and root debris before cleaning. Appropriate hygiene procedures are recommended when containers are reused between different crops or production cycles.

Is a 5L pot suitable for chilli plants?
Yes. Five-litre pots can provide useful growing space for chilli and pepper plants, although larger or more vigorous varieties may benefit from being potted-on again.
Can tomatoes be grown in a 5L pot?
Young or compact tomato plants can be grown in 5L pots, but vigorous varieties will generally benefit from a larger final growing volume.
Can I use peat-free compost?
Yes. The pot is suitable for peat-free compost and other appropriate horticultural growing media.
Can this pot be used with coco coir?
Yes. Coco coir and coco-based substrates can be used, with irrigation and nutrition managed appropriately for the chosen growing system.

Yes, where a 5L root-zone volume is suitable for the plant and growing method. Larger plants and longer crop cycles may benefit from greater soil volume.
Is 5L a good size for potting-on?
Yes. Five litres is a useful intermediate size for plants that have established in smaller propagation or nursery pots but are not yet ready for a large final container.
When should I move a plant into a 5L pot?
Pot-on when the plant has developed a healthy root system in its existing container and would benefit from additional growing-medium volume.
Is the 5L Round Pot suitable for nursery production?
Yes. Its manageable size makes it useful for commercial growing-on and nursery production of a wide variety of plants.
