Review on 30 Sets 4 Inch Soft Plant Nursery Pots With Humidity Domes And Drain Holes, 10 Plant Labels - Seed Starting Trays For Germination by Andy Quade

Revainrating 3 out of 5

You'll get sturdier containers buying plants at your local nursery

Like the title says, I'm keeping my smaller nursery pots for reuse because these are too flimsy. Very thin blown plastic from China. The super thin and crushable clear tops DO NOT ATTACH to the pots (just sit on rim), and fall off like dominoes if you bump them while trying to use all the pots at once for a residential grow. The pots and domes work: I've started seeds in them and transplanted starter plugs into them, and those plants have matured just fine. However, these are more for novelty growers who just want to grow a few little things here or there. They have more drain holes than some nursery plastic pots, which I think helps the plants breathe. If I ever run out of 4-inch pots again, I'll shop somewhere I can touch what I'm buying and get something more sturdy that won't crumple in my grip and cause balance problems during planting. To give them credit, I grow only indoors and run all my pots through the dishwasher without soap, and these little pots and lids didn't melt (be certain to turn off any heated drying cycle on your machine).

Pros
  • Humidity Domes: Clear plastic humidity domes of this plant cups starter help you observe your plants without interrupting the process. And also enhance the humidity and temperature to improve the seed survival rate.
Cons
  • The drainage holes may become clogged with soil, hindering water drainage
