Each pot measures 11 cm on each side and has a depth suitable for seedlings and small plants, holding approximately 0.5 to 0.7 liters of soil.
Do these pots have drainage holes?

Can I use these pots for outdoor plants?
Yes, they are suitable for outdoor use, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may degrade the plastic over extended periods.
How many pots are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 individual plant pots.
Are these pots suitable for hydroponics?
These pots are designed for soil-based gardening and are not optimized for hydroponic systems without significant modification.
What is the best use for these pots?
They are best suited for starting seeds, propagating cuttings, and growing small plants like herbs, succulents, or annual flowers.
How should I clean the pots after use?
Empty the soil, rinse with water, and scrub with mild soap and a brush if necessary. Ensure they are dry before storing.
Troubleshooting
Plants are not draining well
Gently create small drainage holes in the bottom of the pot using a drill or sharp object. Avoid overwatering.
Roots seem cramped
Transplant the plant into a larger pot or directly into the ground once it outgrows the 11 cm pot.
Pots feel flimsy
Ensure the pot is filled with soil to provide structural support. If still too flimsy, consider using them for less demanding plants or doubling up pots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These pots require no assembly. Simply fill them with your preferred potting mix and sow seeds or plant seedlings. Ensure good drainage, as these pots do not come with pre-drilled holes. You may wish to create small drainage holes at the bottom using a drill or sharp tool, especially if using them for plants that are sensitive to overwatering.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard potting soils, composts, and seed starting mixes. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, though prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays might affect the plastic over time.
