Vitax - Biodegradable Round Grow Pots 16 x 8cm

Vitax - Biodegradable Grow Pots (16 Pots / 8cm Round)

The perfect, plastic-free way to propagate plants. Round Grow Pots are perfect for seeds, seedlings and cuttings which will require planting out at a later date. Completely biodegradable, Grow Pots can be put straight into the garden when the time is right for planting. These grow pots are ideal for seeds, seedlings & cuttings whilst minimising root disturbance when planting out in the pot. The biodegradable pot slowly breaks up in the soil while keeping roots warm & moist.

Each pot has good strength and flexibility, and as young plants do not have to be disturbed whilst transferring into the ground, the pots ensure roots stay healthy & undamaged.

Once old enough, the roots will break through the pots and continue to grow as normal.

Instructions for use:

Filling: Fill the pots with good quality compost, level & firm gently.

Sowing Seeds: Sow a couple of seeds in each pot & cover lightly with a small amount of compost. After germination, remove the weaker seedlings.

Transplanting Seedlings & Cuttings: Seeds sown in trays should be transplanted into Grow Pots when the leaves are sufficiently developed. Gently remove the seedling & lower the root (or cutting) into a planting hole created in the compost placed in the Grow Pot. Firm the compost around the stem.

Watering: After sowing or transplanting, water thoroughly. The pot will darken in colour, indicating that the compost is moist. Prevent the Grow Pot from drying out.

Planting Out: When plants are ready for planting do not remove the plant from the pot; simply make a hole & plant out the complete pot. Firm the soil around the pot so that the pot is completely covered. Water the pot & surrounding area thoroughly & do not allow it to dry out during the first few days after planting.
