Cosweet 3.2" Biodegradable Peat Pots with Drainage Holes - 50 Pcs Thickened Round Plant Pots, Seedling Starters Kit with 100 Plant Markers for Seed Germination

These pots are somewhat delicate when wet, and will often tear if not handled carefully when lifted while they're wet. However, roots penetrate the pots very easily, and I'm willing to deal with a little more care when transplanting if it means I don't have to bother removing them when actually transplanting to the garden.Great value for the money, will buy again.

These are not peat pots, despite the description. They are made from paper and therefore not as durable as peat pots, so they need a little more gentle handling. When wet they are very fragile. However, I like the fact that they are not made from peat, since peat is a dwindling resource. They seem like they will degrade quickly when planted in the garden.

Convince of once your plant is ready for planting you don’t have to disturb the plant just plant it pot and all

They were perfect for my seedlings

Functional for cost

We compared these pots to ones we purchased last year. This item does not appear to be peat but compressed cardboard.

I always have little sprouts from my spider plant and I thought these would be a good way to plant them and give them away. A few days before I was going to give them away I put them in these cups and watered them. Two days later they had white fuzzy mold growing on the outside. It wouldn’t bother me if I was keeping them, but I obviously couldn’t give them away like that. So lesson learned, give them away as soon as you plant them in the pot and don’t add a lot of water because mold will form!

The pots are sturdy and come with little plastic labels, which is very useful. But like other reviewers mentioned, some molds formed on the outside of the pot, some white and some black. Where I live is desert climate (low humidity) and I don't over water. So if you plan to start seeds indoors at the end of winter, and keep them inside for a month or two, don't get these. I think they are for very temporary purpose, like if you give away some cuttings to friends.

pots fall apart when earth inside is watered….not good quality at all….i ended up putting pots inside empty pots, then they both fell apart…..waste of time and money. i wouldnt even give them one star except i cant send review without choosing a star
