Pot size is an important factor to consider when it comes to the health of your plants. Pot size refers to the diameter and depth of a pot that a plant is growing in. The larger the pot, the more space there is for the plant’s roots to expand. We recommend using our Rose Pots to plant roses, sweet peas, clematis, tomato plants or starting off a young shrub. A 5L is Ideal for the production of bigger shrubs with a larger root capacity, these can be seen across our nursery but generally found within our garden centre sales. To calculate rectangular pots, treat them like a box and determine the total volume by multiplying the length of each side. Generally speaking, pot sizes are sold in increments ranging from 0.5 gallons up to 25 gallons or more, depending on what you’re looking for and how big your desired plant is likely to grow. Our pots taper so the base will be narrower than the top. Please see the table below for measurements of all available sizes. Rose Pot Size

This is the size that many nurseries use for 'specimen' plants. These are plants that were grown in 3 litres last year, have been moved into these larger pots, and then grown on for another year. The volume of a pot can be calculated by using the formula radius 2 x pi x height/281. The calculation is based off the shape of the pot, which is typically cylindrical in nature. Radial measurements are taken from the top and bottom parts of the pot, with height being measured from top to bottom. Similarly, if the pot is too big, then it can cause the soil to become waterlogged, leading to oxygen deprivation that stunts plant growth. The ideal size for most plants is one or two inches larger than the current root ball – this allows adequate drainage while still providing enough space for healthy growth. Does pot size determine yield or root? The size of the pot in which a plant is grown has a significant impact on its growth. Plants need enough room to spread out their roots and absorb nutrients from the soil, so if they are placed in a pot that is too small they may become root-bound and unable to take up sufficient resources.

Then measure the height of the pot in either inches or centimeters and multiply this number with your first product (radius squared multiplied by pi). Finally, divide this answer by 281 to get your final result – the volume of your flower pot! Why is the size of the pot important? Measuring the volume of a pot requires the same basic formula, but can involve more steps depending on the shape of the container. To measure the volume of a cylindrical pot, for example, use a ruler to measure its diameter and height, then use this formula: Volume = pi x radius² x height. Dimensions: 59.5cm diameter top, 42.8cm diameter base and 48cm depth. Internal top diameter 55cm. Capacity: 90 litres. Many people assume that pot size determines yield, but this is not necessarily true. Plant growth does depend on the root system and its ability to access nutrients from the soil. Plants grown in larger containers tend to have a larger root system and therefore more access to water and nutrients, which can lead to larger yields. Please note the above guide is for illustration purposes only and are not sized proportionally to one another.

A 4 liter plant pot has a volume of 0.15 cubic feet. This is equivalent to 1 gallon, which is the standard size for a potted plant. To calculate the volume of a 4 liter pot, you simply need to multiply 4 liters by 0.0353146667 (this is the conversion rate from liters to cubic feet).

For volumes under 1 litre, pots are measured by their diameter at the top. Sizes can range from 5cm to 11cm. In reality, however, you will usually see 9cm pots, because most smaller volumes can be planted as ‘plugs’ in seed trays. Seed tray cells vary from 4cm to 8cm in diameter. So a P6 is a ‘plug’ in a 6cm diameter tray or pot.Dimensions: 60.5cm diameter top, 43.5cm diameter base and 52cm depth. Internal top diameter 55.5cm. Capacity: 100 litres. Although these are the smallest pot size that we currently sell, they are still substantially larger than many online offerings. Measuring an approximate diameter of 13.5cm, they offer great value for money, especially if you have lots of beds and containers to fill. Our 1 litre pots are predominantly used for herbaceous varieties, which means that after a few weeks of good weather, you will be able to enjoy a handsome plant specimen, at a fraction of the cost. Phlox douglasii ‘White Admiral’ is a great example of a Litre Pot, a small but delightful addition to any garden. 1.5 Litre Pots: The majority of our shrubs are available in 3-litre pots as their roots tend to be a little larger than the perennials. Later in the season, more of our perennials will be moved into 3-litre pots.
