If you're looking for a sustainable and plant-friendly alternative to plastic pots, look no further than these 13cm Coir Pots – a natural solution for environmentally conscious growers who want to reduce waste without compromising on quality or performance.
Crafted from 100% biodegradable coir fibre, made from the husk of coconuts, and blended with natural rubber latex, these coir pots are sturdy, breathable, and designed to support healthy plant development right from the seedling stage through to transplanting. They hold their shape well while offering just the right amount of moisture retention and drainage to keep roots happy and thriving.
One of the biggest benefits of coir pots is how root-friendly they are. The porous nature of coir fibre allows plant roots to easily penetrate the sides of the pot, encouraging air pruning and reducing root circling – a common issue with plastic pots. As a result, plants form stronger, more fibrous root systems that are better prepared for transplanting into the garden or larger containers.
Even better? You don’t have to remove the plant from the pot when it’s time to move it. Just plant the entire pot straight into the soil, and the roots will continue to grow out naturally through the pot walls. This means no root disturbance, no transplant shock, and a far smoother transition for your plants.
These 13cm pots are a great size for growing herbs, vegetables, annuals, or even small perennials. Use them for sowing seeds, potting on young plants, or as starter pots for gifting plants. They’re also perfect for propagation projects or eco-conscious gardening workshops.
And when you're done? Simply let nature do its thing. These pots break down naturally in the soil over time, enriching it with organic matter in the process. No plastic to throw away, no landfill waste, and no guilt – just better gardening for you and the planet.
