Biodegradable Square Growing Pots

These square growing pots are made from wood fibre. They are an excellent alternative to the usual plastic seedling pots. They are 100% biodegradable, and are permeable to water, air, and plant roots. You can sow or transplant flowers, vegetables, trees, and bushes in them, and then place them directly in the garden soil without disturbing their fragile young roots. A clever and eco-friendly product!

Made mostly from wood fibre from French forests, these small brown pots offer many advantages. Their walls have a dense and porous mesh that allows easy root penetration, and ensures good water retention and excellent substrate aeration. These factors are essential for seed germination and the healthy growth of young seedlings. The roots remain intact when transplanting, preventing plants from experiencing post-transplant shock. The wood fibre will gradually decompose along with the substrate, eventually disappearing completely in the soil.

While roots tend to grow in a spiral and become tangled in a small plastic pot with an impassable wall, they can easily pass through the wood fibre wall of these pots. This will be a sign that it is time to transplant the young plants into a larger pot or plant them outdoors. It is important to note that while root binding is almost non-existent or has no major impact on herbaceous plants (perennials, vegetables, annuals, and biennials), it can be detrimental to the establishment of many shrubs and trees, especially in challenging soil and climate conditions.

Environmentally conscious gardeners will love these pots. Plastic pots are often non-recyclable plastic pots, which will eventually pose an environmental problem. These pots meet environmental standards and can be added to compost without any risk.

The pots are available in different sizes and shapes, and are sold in sets.
