6x 25cm 10 Inch Pots

Product Information

At least 10,000 of my (Eliza’s) brain cells died during the grueling research that brought you this information, so pleasehonor their brave sacrifice by sharing the article with your other gardening friends (they’re guaranteed to have been confused by pot sizes at some point in their gardening careers)! I gathered as much data as I could find, dropped the extreme numbers from both end of the scale, and came up with an average based on our personal experience and the frequency with which experts made a recommendation (if the majority of extension offices swore by a 5 gallon minimum pot for peppers, that’s what we used). There are no standard pot sizes (it’s chaos), so we have chosen to use: a) volume in pints or gallons (which is how most pots are sold), b) the likely diameter of pots with the correct volume (if you place a ruler across the widest part on top of the pot you get the diameter ), and c) the minimum soil depth for plants that are fussy about it (like root veggies). Mini small 3" pot planter with drainage and attached saucer | ceramic succulent planter for succulents Okay, as an example, if you’re told to use a 10” diameter pot, does that mean a 10” pot that holds approximately 1.3 gallons of soil, a 10” pot that holds 2 gallons, or a 10” pot that holds 3 gallons? All three are common sizes sold at nurseries and vary in volume capacity based on their other dimensions. What are trade gallons?

To further complicate this, there are “true one gallon” sized pots, too. They are just about halfway between the “trade gallon” and “trade 2 gallon.” Hard to find, but worth it, as the jump from trade 1 to trade 2 is more than double the medium, and lots more space. Big problems for guys like me with large clivia collections. One of the most frequent questions expert gardeners are asked is what size pot is right for a certain plant. If you’ve ever tried to look this information up for yourself, you may have discovered that the search can be complete chaos. Alrighty, perhaps we should go by soil volume instead and recommend a 1 gallon pot. Do you choose the pots labeled “one gallon” in nurseries that really only hold 0.664 gallons of soil, or should you find a pot that you can literally fit a full gallon of soil into?

Pansies are an example of a rather compact, upright, slower-growing plant. Pansies are fantastic for cool season color. However, they tend to be relatively small plants and are primarily grown when the weather is cool which means they grow more slowly. When I plant pansies in pots, I tend to use a lot more than the recommended number of plants I gave above. The photo below was taken at the end of October and the container was planted at the end of September. This is a 12-inch container and it has eight plants in it. The planter is full without being overly crowded. It had rained for three days prior to taking this photo so the plants are looking a bit forlorn. We’ve put the end results into a table for you to use as a resource (below). The table is complete with conversions into just about any volume measurement you might encounter from nurseries, garden centers, your kitchen measuring tools, or found containers that weren’t originally intended for gardening (make sure to drill enough drainage holes).

Once you've added potting soil, it is time to start arranging the plants within the planter. It is best to leave an inch or two between the edge of the pot and the edge of the soil from the plants. This will give the plant room to root-out in all directions. From there you simply want to arrange the plants so each plant has some room and the whole planter will be filled. round plant pot or 4.1 inch round plastic plant potIndividual thermoformed plastic pots.Low priced but attractive round ...

What is #1 Pot Size?

Often spacing is included on plant tags. This spacing refers to the preferred spacing for in-ground plantings. However, you can use the spacing information as one way of estimating final size and vigor. Plants that have a smaller spacing recommendation are generally going to be smaller and less vigorous. Those with a larger spacing recommendation are generally going to be larger and more vigorous plants. You can use that information to help determine the number of plants to include in your planters. Some pots may have their volume listed in measurements other than US customary units (gallons, etc.) and you can use our easy table or an online converter to figure it out.

If your container has no volume listed, you can figure out the volume by measuring the amount of soil you can put in it using your largest kitchen measuring tools.

Generally, using three or four plants in 10 to 12-inch planters, four to six plants in 14 to 16-inch planters and six to eight plants in 16 to 20-inch planters will fill out containers nicely while allowing room for the plants to grow without excessive crowding. With traditional planting, you need to have a bit of patience to get a completely full planter. However, the plants will be healthier because of better root growth and increased air flow which decreases disease pressure in the planter. With healthier plants, containers are much more likely to still be in bloom and looking good at the end of the season.
