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.

Please sign in to see pricing
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.

The 9cm Square Plant Pot is a compact 0.5L black horticultural pot designed for propagation, seedlings, rooted cuttings and growing-on young plants. 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.
Why choose the 9cm Square Plant Pot?
- 0.5 litre capacity - ideal for seedlings, rooted cuttings and young plants.
- 9cm square upper rim - compact footprint for efficient propagation and nursery layouts.
- 10cm height - provides useful depth for developing young root systems.
- 6.5cm square base - compact lower footprint with a tapered growing profile.
- Space-efficient square design - allows pots to sit closely together with less wasted space between containers.
- Ideal propagation pot - useful progression from plugs, cells and small starter pots.
- Excellent for potting-on - provides additional growing-medium volume while young plants establish.
- Nursery friendly - practical for growing, handling, spacing and retail presentation.
- Tapered profile - assists plant removal and allows efficient nesting when empty.
- Suitable for peat-free media - compatible with modern peat-free growing substrates.
- Suitable for coco - can be used with coco coir and coco-based propagation mixes.
- Indoor & outdoor use - suitable for propagation areas, nurseries, greenhouses, polytunnels and gardens.
- Reusable - sound pots can be cleaned and reused for subsequent crops.
- Compatible saucer available - can be used with the 25cm saucer, product code P00110.
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.

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.

Can this square pot be used with coco coir?
Yes. Coco coir and coco-based substrates can be used, with irrigation and nutrition managed according to the chosen growing system.
Is 1L suitable as a final plant pot?
It can be suitable for compact plants and some short-cycle crops. Larger or more vigorous plants will generally need potting-on into a bigger container.
Is this suitable for professional nursery production?
Yes. The square footprint and practical 1L capacity make it particularly useful for nursery growing-on and space-efficient plant production.
Can the pot be used outdoors?
Yes. It is suitable for outdoor cultivation as well as greenhouses, polytunnels, nurseries and indoor growing areas.
Can the pot be reused?
Yes. Pots that remain in good condition can be cleaned and reused. Appropriate hygiene is recommended between crops.
When should I move a plant from a 1L pot?
Consider potting-on when roots have established throughout the growing medium, the pot begins drying increasingly quickly or the plant requires more root volume for continued development.
What saucer is listed for this pot?
The existing specification lists the 25cm saucer, product code P00110, measuring approximately 25.5cm across the rim, 21.5cm across the base and 4cm high.

The 25L Square Pot is a professional growing container designed for professional container production where efficient bench or floor spacing is useful.
The 25L 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
- 25L 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 25L 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.
