Determine the plant's grow pot diameter. Compare this to the size of the opening of your chosen decorative pot and ensure it is big enough to insert the plant's grow pot through the opening (see diagram below).
For hydroculture plants use the size tip to select a decorative pot that will accommodate the waterproof liner recommended for the plant in the hydro kit. Our 2L pots are ideal for the production of amenity plants grown for one year, most commonly used for our 2L herbaceous and shrub lines, this size is great as the plants are small enough to establish but large enough to make an impact when first planted. In taller planters they allow for the soil to be contained to an appropriate depth for the plant, without needing to fill the entire vessel with soil. This ensures the root system is surrounded in optimum moisture content rather than it draining to the bottom beyond the roots. All our building products and plant pots are sourced in the UK and Europe. Some smaller pots may be made in China. All are CE approved and conform to the relevant normes and standards in their countries of origin. We try, where possible, to source our supplies from small independent and family run businesses. For plants in soil the key size in determining the maturity and fullness of a plant is the diameter of the grow pot. The larger the diameter, the more mature the plant. How do we size hydroculture plants?
Square Plastic Plant Pots – Strong Black Hydroponic Pots Available in 0.25, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 5, 5.5 and 11 Litre Sizes
They are popular for growing herbs or bedding plants. They come with drainage holes that allow for the use of overhead or sub irrigation watering and are available in various sizes and quantities. Drainage: Traditional indoor plant pots have drainage holes and stand in saucers to allow excess water to drain freely. For modern decorative plant pots without drainage holes the grow pot could be stood inside the pot on a saucer, or in a pot liner for extra protection. Alternatively, for a professional design look, the plant can be repotted directly into a pot liner with a layer of hydrogranules to provide both a drainage layer and a reservoir for the plant. The roots above the granules will pull the water gently out of the granules (capillary action) to keep them moist but not wet.
Our Square Plastic Plant Pots are suitable for use in several systems such as propagation flood systems, drain drip feed systems or a bespoke home system. These pots are made from a high-quality durable plastic and are shaped to maximise space efficiency. The European square fiberglass planters are ideal for indoor plants. The fiberglass potted plant planters are modern and attractive. Hydroculture plant roots have been specially adapted to grow in hydrogranules, which creates a smaller, more fleshy and hardier root system. This results in mature plants being available in smaller grow pots than their soil based equivalents. How do I choose the correct sized decorative pot to fit my houseplant?Note: Liners are "squashy" so they can be pushed through the opening to expand and fit closer to the pot wall once inside. Liners can also be cut down to size with scissors for a neater fit if they bulge inwards slightly at the top. Slightly larger than a 2L, we generally use these for our garden centre plants and some amenity lines. Soil Depth: When repotting allow a little room for the roots to spread. The soil should not be so shallow that without drainage the roots will sit in water, nor so deep that the water drains below the roots leaving the plant to dry out.
Ideally, there are different types of plant pots with a variety of shapes and sizes. The plant pot size will determine the soil level, level of saturation, and the type of plant to be planted in the container based on the plant root system. Using the correct size of a container will ensure plant health. What is the ideal Plant Pot size? The size doesn’t refer to the plant, but refers to the diameter of the pot that it is planted in. When choosing a pot for your plant, choose a pot that is 1-2” (2.5-5 cm) larger than the current size if the plant is currently in a 10” (25cm) pot or smaller. If your current pot size is larger than 10” (25cm) , choose a pot that is 2-3” (5-7.5cm) larger in diameter.Liners come in various sizes to fit the internal dimensions of the pot and can be trimmed down to size to create an unobtrusive barrier for the plant and soil to be potted into, whilst protecting the pot from unsightly calcium or fertiliser deposits from the soil.
Please note: plant heights are approximate and are provided for indicative purposes only. Plants suitable for hanging may be depicted in a hanging grow pot, the actual grow pot used to ship the plant might not include these attachments. These professional quality pots will allow you to achieve larger yields due to their space efficiency and ease of use. To ensure your indoor or outdoor plants look attractive read through this plant pot sizing guide. Plant Pot Size GuideNote: If the shape of the planter tapers strongly at the base, it might not be wide enough for your plant to sit squarely at the bottom. In this case you can add a liner on a small layer of pebbles to increase the size of the base. This will however raise the height of the plant slightly in the planter.
