A pot that has to work on a greenhouse bench and on an open growing pad is a different brief from one that lives outdoors full time, and this container is built for both. The PET wall takes the UV and temperature swings of open air, while the open sides keep herbs, flowers and young stock aired at the root zone in covered growing. Diameters and heights cover 20 to 60 cm with custom sizes accepted, supplied by the metre from a 50 m minimum. Garden centres supplying retail customers order mixed runs, and the panels stack flat between seasons.
Flowers and herbs move between settings more than most crops: started under cover, finished on a bench, sold on to a garden centre. A container that works in all three settings saves the programme from changing method halfway, and that is the brief this pot was built to.
Under cover, the open wall keeps air moving at the root zone through the humid weeks of propagation. Outdoors, the PET panels take UV and temperature swings without cracking or deforming, so the same pot carries stock through the whole season. Roots meet air at the wall, dry at the tip and branch back into the medium, which keeps the plant growing on an even keel whatever the setting. The full air pruning pot range runs the same wall from propagation rounds to tree containers.
Herb and flower programmes are usually judged twice: once in the growing house and once on the garden centre shelf. The open wall settles the first test by keeping roots fibrous and healthy through the finish stage, and the tidy black panel look handles the second. Garden centres supplying retail customers can order mixed runs across the 20 to 60 cm size steps, so a display carries several sizes on one delivery. The same build runs outdoors in beds and borders.

The range suits the two ends of a flowering plant programme: nursery beds where herbs and flower stock are grown on in quantity, and the retail side where plants are finished for sale. Sizes step through 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 cm in both diameter and height, and custom cuts are accepted as standard. Where plants start from seed first, a seedling propagation tray covers the opening stage before the move into these containers.
Mixed runs are the normal case here: sizes, colours and metres combined on one order, shipped by the metre from a 50 m minimum in woven bags or cartons. Samples confirm the wall and panel finish before a full programme, and reorders follow the same specification. For soft-wall containers in the same range, the planting bag alternative covers flexible growing. Trade coverage of growing practice runs at HortiDaily and FreshPlaza.
Can the same pot be used indoors and outdoors?
Yes. The PET wall is stable under UV for open beds and keeps airflow working on covered benches, so one container covers both settings.
Is it suitable for herb programmes?
Yes. Herbs, flowers and young stock all grow on the same open-wall principle, with sizes from 20 to 60 cm to match the finish stage.
How are mixed sizes supplied?
Orders combine sizes and colours by the metre from a 50 m minimum, packed in woven bags or cartons, with samples available before a full run.
Send the sizes, colours and metres your programme needs and we will come back with packing and lead times.
