Jiffy-PotsOrganic Seed Starting 4" Biodegradable Peat Pots, 6 Pack

I use these to start seedlings and eventually plant the whole thing in a larger pot so I don’t need to pull the plant out and risk root damage. They work great. I use a small pair of scissors to make small holes at the base for drainage. When away, I put them in pans with water so they’ll continue to get water. The material can get a little weak if they’re in water for a while, but so far none has become unusable. The roots come through fine and all plants are growing well. Plus, biodegradable! Used to use plastic orchid-style pots but I feel good knowing I’m not putting plastic into the environment. Only downside is you can’t re-use, but that’s fine with me. Honestly, I think a fresh pot for every seedling is best. I’d say 80% of seeds germinate and end up as strong plants. Highly recommended if you grow from seeds.

Don't waste your time with peat pots from the dollar store. I rely on Jilly Pots for classroom use and they haven't let me down yet! They come in a variety of sizes so even though this particular pot was 4" in diameter, know that there are both larger and smaller pots available in both round are square pot formats.

I love planting my rooted clippings in this pot! So far it has been a blessing to my indoor gardening attempts. It does disintegrate, though. So, eventually you’ll have to plant the pots in the ground. Otherwise, mold will begin growing in the outside of the pot.

These are great seed pots. If you want to maintain moisture for your seedlings, keep the pots inside a tray and add a little warm water to the bottom of the tray every other day, the pots will saturate the water from the bottom up and keep the soil and moisture in and around the pots. Best of all, you can plant them directly into your garden without pulling them off. I tend to take mine out to give my roots more freedom but these are perfect for starter plants indoors and great for use outside during warmer weather months. For a very quick jump start, use a Garden grow mat under the trays....

I love moving my little baby aloes into these. They hold up great even with all the watering. These are my go-to because they cost so much less than the competitors. I should also mention that the size is perfect for taller plants so it doesn't tip over.

I used these to repot seeds after they germinated and grew to 2-4 inches. They make transplanting easier however you should still check the root systems before doing so.

There are fakers on the market. Make sure that your product has the Jiffy Pot label. I have been a Jiffy Pot fan for many years, 40 to be exact. Last year I ordered Jiffy Pots and then a couple of planting pots that said they were jiffy pots that were not. As always my real Jiffy Pot sprouted my seeds and held them till planting and then quietly dissolved. I am not exactly sure what the jiffy pots were made from but although my seeds sprouted they got root bound and the pots did not dissolve. These were the real deal.

Impressive. Using these side by side vs the pots I've used for years and it's easy to see these will not waste your time. They do their job.
