Ambassador Round Fibre Pots, 8cm, Pack of 12

Ambassador Round Fibre Pots are 8cm biodegradable plant pots, ideal for sowing seeds, growing on seedlings and rooting cuttings. Made from peat free wood pulp fibre, this pack of 12 nursery grow pots lets you plant the whole pot straight into the ground or a larger container once your seedling is ready, cutting out a repotting stage and reducing root disturbance.

Key Features

• Peat free, made from 100% biodegradable wood pulp fibre
• Plant the whole pot directly into soil or a larger pot, minimising root disturbance
• Naturally breaks down in the ground over a single growing season
• Porous fibre walls let air and moisture reach the roots
• Handy round shape, ideal as seed cells or general nursery grow pots
• Compostable, an eco friendly alternative to plastic plant pots

How to Use

Fill each fibre pot with seed or multi purpose compost, then sow one or two seeds per pot or transplant a small seedling in. Water as normal and stand the pots in a seed tray or growing tray for easy handling and watering from below. Because the pot itself is made from biodegradable plant fibre, once roots begin to show through the sides you can plant the entire pot straight into the ground or a larger container without disturbing the root ball. The fibre naturally breaks down in the soil over time, making these pots especially useful for plants that dislike root disturbance such as sweet peas, beans and courgettes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do fibre pots take to biodegrade?
Once planted in moist soil, Ambassador fibre pots typically break down within a single growing season, usually a few months, depending on soil conditions.

Can I plant the pot straight into the ground?
Yes. Once roots start showing through the sides, plant the whole pot with the rim fully covered by soil so it does not wick moisture away from the root ball.

Are these fibre pots compostable?
Yes, they are made from plant based wood pulp so they can go on the compost heap or be dug straight into beds and borders, unlike plastic pots.

What can I grow in them?
They suit most seeds, seedlings and cuttings, and work particularly well for plants that resent root disturbance such as sweet peas, beans and courgettes.
