Indoor plant pots

Here you will find a large selection of grow pots and other plant containers as well as small propagation greenhouses in all shapes and sizes. And of course all the necessary accessories.

How big should the pots be for growing?

Grow pots come in all shapes and sizes, but which one is best suited to the plant in question? And how can you tell whether the pot you have chosen is suitable? The size of the harvestable plant is a pretty good indicator - the larger the adult plant, the larger the plant pot needs to be. This is quite logical so far, but the size of the root system that the plant forms is also decisive. Many popular indoor plants are deep-rooted, which means they have long and winding roots that allow them to absorb nutrients from different layers of soil.
Of course, it's always a question of space, but a good standard size is a tall pot from 5 litres upwards. Smaller pots are only suitable for mature, deep-rooted plants if they grow very quickly and can be harvested early. Pots that are too small damage the plants, but very large pots do not lead directly to better results! If all the other growth factors are right, then the pot size can still be used to get the last bit out, otherwise light, water and nutrient supply are more important.

Pay attention to drainage holes in the grow pots

Drainage is very important so that excess water can flow out into the saucer, which is why pots with a perforated base are ideal. If the pots are placed on individual saucers and not on a pot tray, it is easier to dispose of the waste water. This effectively prevents waterlogging, root rot and other problems that can arise from over-watering.

Always in the same pot, or repot the plants as required?

Some growers start sowing or growing cuttings directly in the pots that will house the plants until harvest - but this is more difficult than starting in small seed pots and repotting the plants as soon as they are big enough. The most important thing to remember is to water the plants very carefully at the beginning until they have taken root in the pot. Too much water at the beginning can slow down the initial growth considerably.
Repotting into larger grow pots offers the opportunity to always create perfect conditions for the plants, but must also be done with care, because if the roots are affected, this can put the plant under a lot of stress.

Several plants per pot?

You shouldn't skimp on the pots when growing indoors - it really isn't worth growing several plants per container, no matter how big it is. Otherwise, the plants will compete for nutrients, pests and diseases will be more difficult to combat and, in the event of over-fertilisation or other problems with the substrate, several plants will always be affected at the same time.
