This is a great pot. I put zucchini plants in it that normally prefer to be direct-sown into the soil. They were beautiful, and began flowering in the pot. I needed these because after planting, I had a bunch of extra plants, and I was able to keep them alive and healthy in these pots while I found homes for them. The only thing the buyer should be aware of, is that they are made of a soft, flexible material, and not a hard plastic, so they are top heavy and will fall over easily. I remedied this by either putting them in a larger pot (extra large, that can hold three or four at a time) with drainage holes or in a drainage tray for larger plants that have cups to support the pots.

I need to start a ton of trees from acorns and other types of seed. These pots are thick sleeves and do not stand on their own but honestly even if they were rigid they would be falling over as soon as a plant made it top heavy. Fun fact: A $6 milk crate from Walmart will hold exactly 12 sleeves and it takes exactly 1 cu ft bag of potting soil to fill 12 sleeves. The crates are PERFECT. They drain and have handles making them easy to carry. Used all 50 of the sleeves I ordered and just ordered another 50.

PLUSES: These narrow nursery pots are exactly what I was looking for to get some tree seedlings started. They are nice and deep with good drainage. Price was reasonable considering how many come in a package.MINUSES: Oooh they STINK! I have them sitting empty in the garage to outgas. They came in 1 long stack that was shrink-wrapped such that the top openings were all squished flat, the inner ones worse than the outer. Should pop back out once filled with dirt, though. Speaking of which, the plastic material is is thin and flimsy feeling, so I may double up to prevent any issues with degrading after months outside.All in all, these pots should be adequate to do the job. I'm not expecting to be able to reuse them. If they're still in okay shape after a year, I'll be pretty happy.

I was expecting pots. You know, the kind that you put dirt in and stand up. Nope, not these. As you can see from my photos, they are made from what appears to be super thin rubber rolled or pressed somehow into a square, temporarily that is. Once you take one out of the stack, it loses all shape and form. If you manage to get dirt in them, they expand bigger and bigger and bigger because the material is so stretchy. I ended up adding over a gallon of dirt to one and it looked like an overinflated water balloon and couldn't stand. The bottom is not formed and has no way to stay up. The other big issue is that they have a overwhelming chemical smell. I am an organic gardener, and while I don't know what material it is made from that is causing the smell - It smells like burning rubber and smoke combined. The smell transferred to my hands just from handling them. No way will I pot up plants that I intend to eat food from.

These are ultra thin but work fine as long as you don’t want the pots to stand on their own. When you put dirt into these pots, they hold their shape and will stand on their own, but if a small breeze blows, the pot will tip over. I keep the filled pots with plants in egg crates and that seems to work very well!

2 star because cheep and still usable, but i would not buy again. These were cheep enough that i thought i would try them. I can still use them, just not easy to use do to thier flimsy construction. I use for trees and put them in milk creates. Because they are so flimsy it is hard to fill with soil. The sides will flop in and shape distorts. They do not hold their shape. Off gassing is present. There are also drain holes in the sided of the containers that i do not like.

They seem like a good product, they are what I would consider as a decent size for starting trees or shrubs that you don't want to have to immediately transplant. They seem to be of a good material that should last more than a single use (untested by me) my biggest complaint is thier performance lacks, they do not stand up well on their own, and if you put them in a planting tray the edge ones tend to want to fall over. Maybe in a deeper tray they would be better. However....over all worth the 20 bucks for 50.

Yes, they're thin. But they stand up just fine. Glad I read the comments and stacked these in storage tubs, just drilled a draining hole in the bottom. Pretty sturdy; expect to easily get multiple uses out of them as long as they don't degrade in the summer sun.

Yes they are flimsy. Yes they do kinda smell funny at first(but, so do new tires). No they do not stand on their own. BUT, they hold dirt just fine. They start out square, but are round once filled with dirt. They're nice and deep and that's perfect for transplanting my tomatoes. 🅠I will buy again. I did appreciate knowing those first few points before buying. I knew exactly what to expect, so I appreciate the honest reviews that I read before purchasing.

I'm not going to return this just because I'm out of time in terms of growing season, so I'll do what I can with it, but I am very unhappy that it arrived with the top essentially damaged from its original packaging (not the shipping process - the clear plastic it was wrapped in was so tight that it crushed the top of the entire pile) . The plastic is very thin, so I doubt these will last more than one season, but they seem to be an excellent height for growing tomatoes indoors until it's time to put them outside, as tomatoes like to be reburied to their topmost leaves every time you transplant them into a larger container.

They're about 2x the length of a solo cup and will let cannabis plants grow 3-5 feet. They smell like a front end loader mowing down a burning rainforest (exactly like in FernGully)
