FAQs

What are peat pots and how do they work?
Peat pots are biodegradable plant containers made from compressed peat and wood fibres that allow roots to grow naturally while improving airflow and moisture balance. They can be planted directly into the ground to minimise root disturbance when transplanting.

Can I plant seedlings with the peat pot still in the ground?
Yes! One of the advantages of peat pots is that you can plant the entire pot into the garden or larger container, reducing transplant shock and root disturbance. 

Are these pots biodegradable?
Yes. Peat pots are made from natural materials that break down over time, reducing plastic waste and environmental impact.

What size plants are peat pots good for?
A 60mm peat pot is suitable for seed starting, small seedlings, and cuttings. Once the roots begin to fill the pot or after a few weeks of growth, you can plant them into larger pots or the garden.

Do I need to add drainage holes?
Most peat pots are naturally porous and allow water drainage and airflow. If the pot design has a solid base, you can gently add drainage holes if desired before sowing seeds or transplanting.

Is it better than plastic pots?
Peat pots offer a biodegradable and sustainable alternative to plastic pots and help reduce transplant shock. However, they require consistent moisture management as they can dry out faster than plastic.
