Pots + Saucers

Key Benefits for Growers

Quality pots and saucers are a simple upgrade that delivers reliable root zone control and cleaner irrigation. This collection is optimized to give growers:

• Consistent drainage that reduces standing water and root issues.
• Balanced moisture and aeration for stronger, healthier roots.
• Protection against spills to keep floors and benches clean.
• Neat, organized plant layouts that are easy to move and manage.

Main Uses

These pots and saucers integrate easily into many controlled environment setups, including:

• Hydroponic and soilless container systems on benches or racks.
• Indoor gardens with drip, top-feed, or hand-watering schedules.
• Greenhouse production and vertical growing layouts.

Types of Pots and Saucers

To match different crops, media, and irrigation styles, the Pots + Saucers collection includes:

• Round and square nursery pots for general production.
• Net pots and mesh pots for hydroponic applications.
• Fabric pots for increased aeration and air-pruning.
• Low-profile and deep saucers sized to fit common containers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What containers should I use for hydroponics?

Choose containers that drain quickly and allow good aeration. Net pots or mesh pots are ideal for flood-and-drain and similar systems, while nursery or fabric pots with saucers work well for drip and hand-watered setups using inert or soilless media.

Do net pots help with nutrient absorption?

Net pots improve how nutrient solution reaches roots by exposing more root surface to moving, oxygenated solution. This better contact supports healthier roots and more efficient nutrient uptake.

How many plants can I grow in a 5 gallon pot?

For most crops, one plant per 5 gallon pot is ideal. This gives roots enough volume to expand and support strong top growth without competition for water, nutrients, and light.

What is the purpose of a saucer?

A saucer catches excess water or nutrient solution that drains from the pot, protecting floors and benches, reducing mess, and making it easy to see how much runoff each plant produces.

Can saucers help prevent overwatering?

Yes. By watching how much liquid collects in the saucer after each irrigation, you can quickly adjust watering volume and frequency, reducing the risk of plants sitting in excess water.
