Biodegradable nursery pots provide an innovative solution for the eco-conscious gardener, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic containers. These small flower containers, ideal for seedlings, succulents, and a variety of plants, come with drainage holes to support root development. Unlike plastic pots, these plant-based polymer pots are 100% biodegradable and industrially compostable, adhering to EN 13432 standards.
The milder winter season has been beneficial for early crop yields, although the inconsistent weather in August led to lower yields than expected. Unlike compostable or recycled plastic containers, these plantable pots can be placed directly into the soil, which is especially useful for larger trees that benefit from minimal root disturbance.
Jiffy’s 6cm round fibre plant pots are perfect for seeds, seedlings, and cuttings, helping to avoid the root disturbance caused by repotting and eliminating the use of plastic. Each pot also includes a soil pad to prevent the loss of nutrients and to reduce cleaning efforts. KINGLAKE offers a 50-piece set of 8cm fibre plant pots accompanied by 100 plant labels, suitable for growing vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers.
For those looking to make the switch to biodegradable options, the Biodegradable Plant Pots (search) are available for purchase. These pots not only contribute to a greener environment by reducing plastic waste but also enrich the soil with potassium as they decompose.
