Purple Nursery Pots 10 Pack: A Cheerful Upgrade from Plain Black
Save
Why settle for plain black pots when your plants could live in lavender purple? Our Purple Plastic Nursery Pots come ten to a pack and are the same simple, practical kind of pot we use for starting and growing plants on the farm. They just make seedling day a little more cheerful.
Which size do you need?
| Size | Best for |
|---|---|
| 3 Inch | Starting seeds, pricking out seedlings and small plugs |
| 4 Inch | Potting up lavender and herb plugs to grow them on |
| 6 Inch | Larger starts, perennial divisions and plants headed for sale or gifting |
Potting up a lavender plug
When a plug's roots fill its cell, it is ready for a bigger home. Fill a pot partway with a fast-draining mix such as our Lavender Sandy Loam Potting Soil Mix, set the plug so its crown sits level with the soil surface, fill in around it and water well. Go up one size at a time; a small plant in a huge pot sits in wet soil, and lavender does not appreciate that.
Ways gardeners use them
- Seed starting: one pot per variety keeps things organized.
- Dividing perennials: pot up divisions to share with friends.
- Plant sales: a matching purple pot makes a table of starts look tidy and intentional.
- Classrooms: a pot per student for a seed-sprouting project.
- Gifts: a potted herb in a purple pot is a sweet thank-you for a fellow gardener.
Cleaning and reusing
These pots are sturdy enough for everyday use and reusable season after season. Knock out old soil, rinse them between uses and let them dry before stacking. A quick scrub keeps leftover soil from one crop out of the next.
Moving them around
Small pots tip easily when they are full of wet soil. Group them in a carrier tray to move a dozen at once and to keep them upright on the bench.
