3 pack for $3.45 (only $1.15 each)
The same width as your typical mini pot for propagating cuttings, growing pups, for baby plants and for germinating and growing seedlings, just deeper! These are also known as 'root trainer pots' because they encourage a better root system and healthier plant.
How do root trainer pots work?
The outside is smooth but the inside is designed with vertical, raised root trainer ridges running down the inside of the pot. These help avoid roots circling the pot - creating thinner, weaker roots - and instead send roots deeper into the pot, encouraging thicker, stronger roots with more branches for better water and nutrient uptake which benefits the entire plant.
Size
11.5cms tall x 5cms wide across the top and 3.7cms wide across the base.
These pots hold about 220ml of substrate.
Ideal used with starter mix, spag moss, fern fibre or a 50/50 propagation mix of stratum and perlite, but offers enough room not to limit your substrate choice (provided it matches your plant's needs of course).
Materials
I would describe these pots as translucent rather than perfectly clear. Still plenty clear enough to easily judge moisture level and root health, but slightly frosted. That's because they are made of a blend of recycled and new plastic and are fully recyclable. They are also UV stable so unlike most clear pots made for indoor use, these can be used and reused outdoors.
Drainage
I love the drainage these pots offer. Far better than most mini pots that also have mini holes! The large mesh-style drainage holes gets excess water on the move (also making these better for outdoor use exposed to the elements to avoid waterlogged, rotting roots). Great for improved airflow also.
