Strong enough to hold their shape, soft enough to nurture thriving roots – our 10cm Coir Pots strike the perfect balance between functionality and sustainability. Whether you're potting on herbs, veg seedlings, or even a few leafy houseplants, these natural coir pots are a brilliant choice for gardeners looking to reduce plastic without compromising plant health.
Made from coconut coir fibre (a by-product of coconut husks) and bound using natural rubber latex, these biodegradable pots are as tough as they are earth-friendly. They hold up well during watering and handling but still break down naturally once planted into the soil – leaving nothing behind but happy roots and improved soil structure.
What makes coir such a fantastic material? It’s breathable, moisture-retentive without becoming soggy, and allows for excellent drainage. Even better, the fibrous texture means that roots can grow through the pot walls without restriction, which not only prevents root circling but also prepares your plants for a smoother, healthier transplant. No root damage, no shock, and no plastic pot to remove or throw away.
The 10cm size is ideal for growing herbs like basil, coriander, or chives on your kitchen windowsill, potting on young chilli or tomato seedlings in the greenhouse, or for decorative planting with small succulents and leafy greens. It’s also a great step up from smaller coir starter pots when your plants need more room but aren’t quite ready for the final planting stage.
Perfect for both indoor and outdoor use, these pots are a great match for gardeners of all levels – from beginners starting their first seeds to seasoned growers running a greenhouse or tending to raised beds.
Eco-conscious growing doesn’t have to be complicated – with coir pots, it's as simple as planting, growing, and letting nature take care of the rest.
