Review on Get Your Plants Thriving With BangQiao'S 10 Pack Of Gray Plastic Deep Nursery And Seedling Pots - 5.30 Inch Round Transplant Seed Starter Planters by Christine Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Still great after a year full-time in the sun!

For starters, some folks have mentioned issues finding matching saucers, so let me mention the same brand has 7" saucers (for the 6.1" pots, or other sizes also available) here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTK26K6. I LOVE these planters. I was getting tired of continually up-planting my tomatoes while waiting for the right weather for outdoor transplanting. I also wanted something I could start small squashes, pepper plants, etc. in. Then I ended up using them for all sorts of other plants too. I came back to order more smaller ones for misc. seed starting, but I'm happy to report that the large ones I left out all year round in the hot sun and they are not faded or brittle at all. Very thick plastic. I love the grey color, could wish they would also come in terra cotta and white as I've seen some saucers in. The saucers are also good and thick, and deep enough they could be used by themselves as succulent trays or the like. Very Very happy with my purchase, especially after years of buying the thinner green or black plastic divided domed kind of planters only to have those melt and warp in the heat or crack from a few months of use. I expect to have these for several years, and can't believe how inexpensive they are relative to that. They could also work as decorative planters for those that like a bit of an industrial feel. For my tastes they work better as a utilitarian seed planting pot, but I feel that for my needs they are definitely worth every penny!

Pros
  • The deep design is perfect for the plants with a long tap root and keep plants growing stronger
Cons
  • The plastic material may not be as breathable as other options such as terracotta pots
