Budget 100mm Square Squat Pot
The Professional Choice for Vigorous Seedlings and Deep-Rooted Plants.
The Budget 100mm Square Squat Pot is a high-capacity nursery essential, specifically designed to support the early growth of larger, more robust plant varieties. With a generous 0.47-litre volume and a deep 85mm profile, these pots provide the necessary root space for heavy feeders such as tomatoes, capsicums, and eggplants, ensuring they remain healthy and strong before being moved to their final positions in the garden.
Integrated Modular Compatibility
These pots are engineered to function as part of a seamless propagation system, allowing for maximum efficiency on the nursery bench:
Full-Size Trays: Exactly 12 pots fit perfectly within the budget perforated or non-perforated bottom trays.
Half-Size Trays: For smaller projects, three pots fit neatly into the half-size perforated bottom tray.
Enhanced Stability: For those requiring a more secure setup, these pots can be paired with the Budget 12-Cell Insert Tray, which locks them into place when used with a full-size bottom tray to prevent tipping.
Bottom-Watering Ready: The design facilitates efficient moisture wicking from the base when used with a solid tray, promoting deeper root development and keeping the stem and foliage dry.
Key Features and Benefits
Tapered Square Design: The 95mm square rim tapers down to a 70mm x 60mm base, making it much easier to “pop” the seedlings out for transplanting with minimal root shock.
Safe and Sustainable: Manufactured from rigid, BPA-free black plastic, these pots are completely safe for food-producing plants. They are made from high-quality polypropylene (PP or “5”), which is both durable for multi-season reuse and easily recyclable.
Optimal Airflow and Drainage: The squat profile and square edges allow pots to be grouped closely together, which helps maintain consistent soil temperatures and efficient use of space under grow lights or in greenhouses.
The Versatile Nursery Workhorse
Reliable and practical, the 100mm Square Squat Pot is the ideal “intermediate” home for plants that outgrow smaller punnets quickly. It provides the structural integrity and volume needed to produce professional-grade seedlings every season.
