This guide is for home gardeners and small-scale growers looking for an eco-friendly way to start seedlings. The key benefit is the compostable nature of these pots, allowing direct transplanting and promoting healthy root growth while reducing plastic waste. A caveat is their small size, which may require repotting sooner for larger plants. This value pack includes 288 fibre pots, each measuring 5cm high and wide, designed to biodegrade naturally in soil.

Yes, these plant pots are made from fibre and are designed to be fully compostable and biodegradable.
Dig a hole in the garden or a larger container, place the entire pot with the seedling into the hole, and cover with soil. The roots will grow through the pot.
Transplant when the seedling has developed a good root system that starts to visibly grow through the sides of the pot.
These pots are designed for single use as starter pots. They are intended to biodegrade in the soil after transplanting.
The pots are made from fibre.
Each pot measures 5cm in height and 5cm in width.
This pack contains 288 fibre plant pots.
Ensure pots are not kept constantly waterlogged. Allow the surface to dry slightly between waterings. Consider transplanting sooner if conditions are very damp.
This may indicate insufficient moisture or a lack of root development. Ensure adequate watering and that the seedling is healthy and actively growing.
The 5cm size may be too small for longer-term seedling growth. Check if the seedling requires transplanting into a larger pot or directly into the ground.
To set up, simply fill the fibre pots with your preferred seed compost. Sow your seeds according to packet instructions. Water gently. These pots are compatible with most standard seed compost mixes and can be used on seed trays orWindowsills. For best results, keep the compost consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings have developed a healthy root system that starts to penetrate the pot walls, they are ready for transplanting. Dig a hole in your garden bed or larger container slightly larger than the pot, place the seedling with the pot inside, and backfill with soil. The pots require no special cleaning; their biodegradable nature means they are single-use for the seedling stage. Avoid prolonged submersion in water to prevent premature breakdown.
