When your plants outgrow their starter pots, it’s time to size up to the 17cm Coir Pot – a generous, sturdy, and entirely biodegradable container that supports plant health while protecting the planet. With a volume of approximately 2.8 litres, this pot is ideal for growing larger seedlings, potting on veg plants like tomatoes and chillies, or housing established herbs and flowering plants.
Crafted from natural coconut coir fibre and bound with rubber latex, this pot offers excellent structure while promoting airflow and drainage – two essentials for strong root development. The porous walls allow roots to grow through naturally, preventing root binding and enabling seamless planting straight into the soil or a larger container. No disturbing the roots, no plastic waste, and no transplant trauma for your plants.
This size is a firm favourite with greenhouse growers, urban gardeners, and allotment fans alike. Whether you're growing bushy basil, vibrant nasturtiums, or prepping young cucumbers for the garden bed, this coir pot provides enough space for healthy root expansion and compost coverage.
Best of all? It biodegrades over time, enriching your soil without leaving any trace of plastic. It’s the greener, cleaner way to grow – and a brilliant stepping stone for your garden's long-term success.
