Description
The Pro Cal Premium Nursery Pot (10 Gal) is a solid, durable container that is ideal for plants, trees, or anything else that needs to be put in the container. It’s made from sturdy plastic, and its purpose is to aid in structuring healthy roots for plants. It is a good product to meet both home growers and professional growers.
Strong and Durable Construction
This nursery pot is not a soft, thin plastic pot like most. It's constructed of thick-walled injection-molded resin, which makes the pot strong enough to hold heavy soil and large plants without breaking or bending. The fabric holds its shape and strength even after multiple uses.
Large Size and Volume
The 10-gallon pot is ideal for medium to large plants. It holds approximately 10 gallons of loose soil and 9.6 gallons of water. Its wide, low shape provides enough room for the roots to spread and grow, helping the plants grow stronger and healthier over time.
Easy to Carry and Stack
The pot has a nice wide rim around the top, so it’s easy to grip and lift, even in gloves. The rim is sturdy and doesn’t flex when hauling heavy loads. They can be stacked when not in service to save on storage space.
Excellent Drainage
Proper drainage is essential for keeping plants healthy. This pot has bottom and side holes, which allow excess water to escape easily. This prevents the roots from sitting in water, which can help prevent diseases such as root rot.
Weather-Resistant Material
The pot is constructed from UV-resistant plastic, so it won’t deteriorate or lose color when exposed to the harsh sun. It’s also BPA-free, meaning it is non-toxic and safe to grow vegetables and herbs. Whether used indoors or outdoors, the material stands up to all sorts of weather.
Best Uses and Applications
This 10-gallon nursery pot can be utilized in different environments:
- Home Gardens: Ideal for tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, and small fruit trees. Good for herbs like rosemary, basil, and mint, too.
- Flower Beds are best for flowering bushes such as hydrangeas, azaleas, and roses. The broad base allows them room to develop strong roots.
- Urban and Patio Gardens: Its squat construction makes it stable, so it won't tip over in the wind. It's perfect for balconies, patios, or decks.
- Nurseries and Greenhouses: Professional growers like using these pots because they are all the same size. This makes it easy for them to maneuver around with carts or water systems.
How to Use the Pot
Here's how to get the most out of the nursery pot.
- Wash the pot with gentle soap and water to remove any residue left from the factory.
- Plant with good quality potting mix and ensure the pot is filled well but loosely to enable air to circulate. Don’t press down too hard.
- Put the plant in the center and water until it exits the bottom.
- A pot that is raised off the ground slightly will help with drainage.
- Clean the pot, and stack it compactly with others for storage.
Cleaning and Care
At the end of each season, wash the pot with 10% bleach and water. This destroys bacteria and helps future plants grow healthy. Inspect the pot for cracks and ensure the drainage holes are clear. When not in use, keep it in a cool, dry place.
