Product description & details

There's something rather satisfying about starting plants properly. These Fibre Insert Cells are made for gardeners who like to do things simply, naturally, and without a trail of plastic left behind. Perfect for seed sowing, cuttings and young plants, they give seedlings a breathable little home where roots can establish themselves without being cramped or disturbed.

Because they're made from natural plant fibres, the pots allow air and moisture to move through the sides, encouraging strong root growth and healthier development. When it's time to plant out, there's no need to tip the plant or tease apart delicate roots. Simply place the whole pot straight into the ground where it will gradually break down, letting roots grow on without interruption. It's propagation made easy, whether you're raising vegetables, herbs, flowers, or greenhouse seedlings.

Unlike plastic seed trays and nursery pots that linger long after they've done their job, these biodegradable plant pots return gently to the soil. They're compostable, peat-free, and are great for plastic-free gardening. They're the choice for eco-conscious growers and sustainable gardens. If you're looking for an environmentally friendly way to grow from seed, nurture cuttings and support young plants, these planting cells are the perfect tool.

Give your seedlings the best possible start with these extra-long root training fibre pots, designed to encourage strong, deep roots from day one. Made from peat-free, biodegradable wood pulp, they're a simple, planet-friendly swap that fits perfectly with a thoughtful, soil-loving garden.

The tall shape gently guides roots downwards instead of letting them spiral, helping to grow sturdies plants that transplant with less sulking and more thriving. When it's time to move them on, you can plant the whole pot straight into the soil where it will naturally break down, leaving roots undisturbed.

They're practical, easy, and plastic-free which is exactly what we like.

Each Root Training Pot measures roughly 5cm in diameter and is 9cm deep. Available in packs of 8 or 16.

Customer Reviews

Handy little pots

These little root training pots are ideal for the beans I put in them. I sat a bunch of them snugly inside two flower pots to keep them upright, otherwise as another reviewer found they would fall over.

Pots

The seedling pots feel like good quality, unfortunately, i never used them.
But. I would if i needed to.

Easily fall over

On the face of it these are fine, however mine kept toppling over in my greenhouse. In the end I put them in a plastic potting tray so each one was supported.
A bit too fiddly for me.

Super service and excellent products, as ever
