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.
