Peat Seedling Pots Verto 8 × 8 × 7.8 cm (18 pcs) by Verto

Peat Seedling Pots Verto 8 × 8 × 7.8 cm (18 pcs) by Verto are biodegradable containers designed for starting and growing seedlings of vegetables, herbs and ornamental plants. Made from compressed peat, these pots retain moisture while providing air exchange for root development. After seedlings are established, the pots can be planted directly into garden soil where they gradually decompose, reducing transplant shock and avoiding root disturbance.

Advantages

These peat pots offer a simple, sustainable alternative to plastic seed trays by combining water retention with natural aeration to support healthy root growth. Their biodegradable composition eliminates the need to remove seedlings from containers before planting, which reduces handling and stress on young plants. Their uniform size and stable shape make them convenient to place in standard seed trays or on benches for consistent germination conditions.

Suitable for

• Starting vegetable seedlings such as tomatoes, peppers and brassicas
• Growing culinary and medicinal herbs
• Propagating ornamental annuals and perennials
• Small-scale home gardening and balcony planting projects

Key specifications

• Material: compressed peat (biodegradable)
• External dimensions: 8 × 8 × 7.8 cm
• Quantity per pack: 18 pieces
• Function: seed starting and seedling growth; suitable for direct planting into soil
• Properties: moisture retention with adequate aeration for root development

How to use

Fill each peat pot with a light, well-draining seed compost to just below the rim. Sow seeds at the depth recommended for the specific species and gently water to settle the compost. Place pots in a tray to retain bottom moisture and position them where temperature and light suit the crop. When seedlings have developed a strong root system and the outdoor conditions are appropriate, plant each peat pot directly into the garden or a larger container, pressing soil around the rim to remove air pockets. The pot will biodegrade in the ground, allowing roots to grow through it.

Usage recommendations

For best results, keep peat pots evenly moist but not waterlogged and provide adequate light and airflow. Harden off seedlings gradually before outdoor planting. Use peat pots with species that tolerate direct planting; avoid planting in very cold, waterlogged soils where decomposition may be slowed.
