Biodegradable seedling pots 8 cm (10 pcs)

Eco-friendly 8 cm diameter seedling pots are a practical and environmentally sustainable choice for the seed starting of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. One set includes 10 fully biodegradable pots that decompose naturally in the soil, leaving no waste in the garden bed.

The greatest advantage of these pots is the protection of the plant’s root system during transplanting. As the pot walls soften in moist soil, the plant roots can grow through them without obstruction. The porous material ensures optimal air circulation around the root system and allows excess water to evaporate. This helps prevent overwatering, dangerous root rot, and root circling at the bottom of the pot. The result is more vigorous, healthier seedlings with stronger root systems that adapt to open ground or greenhouses without transplant shock.

Usage and Cultivation Instructions:

1. Fill the seedling pots with high-quality sowing or seed-starting soil, leaving about 1 cm free from the top edge.

2. Sow the seeds according to the instructions on the package or prick out young seedlings that have already sprouted into the pots.

3. Water the seedlings regularly, but ensure that the pots do not sit in water for long periods – excessive moisture may soften the pot’s shape too much before planting time.

4. Once the danger of night frost has passed, plant the seedlings in the garden bed or greenhouse along with the pot. Ensure that the edge of the pot is completely covered with soil; otherwise, it will begin to wick moisture out of the ground.

Tips and recommendations:

• Place the seedling pots on a waterproof tray or in a special mini-greenhouse to prevent staining the windowsill and to maintain a consistent moisture level around the pot.

• If you notice that the pot walls have become too dry before planting in the garden bed, briefly dip the pot in water – this accelerates the decomposition process of the material in the soil.

• Immediately before planting, you may lightly crush or tear the bottom of the pot with your fingers to speed up root penetration into the surrounding soil.
