RunNico 50pcs Plastic Deep Plant Nursery Pots,11.8”Tall Tree Pots,Black Deep Seedling Container Pots with Drainage Holes for Indoor Outdoor Gardening (3.9" Wx11.8 H)

So these are pretty much what I expected after reading the other reviews. They are thin, flexible plastic which will require external support. They fit nicely 3x3 in a square type milk crate (the 13” x 13” nominal size.) I also have them 4x5 in a larger plastic tote, but I think the milk crates work best. I think the thin, flexible plastic will help when it comes time to replant the seedlings. As for separating them, I found it easiest to pull the outermost pot from the bottom, pushing in the center and pulling on the outside. Sticky gloves might help if you have dry hands. Now if all my acorns grow…

Do not order this product. They are extremely cheap, flimsy, and are impossible to separate without damaging them. This will not stand alone, and were shipped smashed. You’re better off ordering off of Temu.

The dimensions are fine, but they aren't sturdy. This probably doesn't matter, since I'm going to place them right next to each other. They just might not stand alone.

Yes, these are thin. No, they won't stand on their own. They are not standard pots. I needed them to pot up some tomatoes that had gotten leggy and out of control. These pots worked perfect. I potted up 50 San Marzano tomatoes. I was able to bury them deep in these pots without wasting a ton of soil. I ended up with tomatoes that were 3 feet tall with super strong roots when I put them in the ground! In order to stand them up I packed them in boxes. They don't stand well on their own, so you need to keep them in something. Doing that, they work well.

I do not understand the bad reviews for these! I just potted up about 60 dormant saplings. No they aren’t stiff stand up pots. They ARE durable flexible containers, which I LOVE because I can smash them together in a box with no airflow between them. If they have each other for support, they’re perfectly shaped and sturdy. I tried ripping one and could not. They are not “thinner than paper” and they are not more like bags, they’re heavy duty flexible plastic material formed in the shape of a pot. Also - it’s SO easy to get them apart! Just push on the bottom with your thumb while holding the outer pot in the other hand and they slide right apart! You need to remove the outer pot each time, not try to pry out the smashed inner pot. My 8 year old even separated a whole stack of 50. A few of the pots I needed to be a little shorter so I just cut them! Worked great. And the smell, yes they have a plastic type smell but it didn’t bother me. Overall I think they’re fabulous!

These came all packed inside each other, 60 pots all smashed together. Very hard to separate. That's annoying but I guess OK. But once separated they are extremely thin and flimsy, the walls are about as supportive as a paper bag and just as flexible. I would have preferred a more substantial supportive pot like you typically find at garden centers.

look at the great pictures that the seller has on this product and compare it to my actual photo. You get what you pay for. These are by far the thinnest pots that I have ever bought and not looking nearly as nice as the stock photos. I need them right away otherwise I would return them. I expect they are a one time use pot. I'm giving them 2 stars because they do hold soil but cannot recommend.

I grow many vegetables and flowers from seed and always need lots of pots as they grow and deeper ones are always in short supply. These pots are great because they're strong yet flexible so there is no wasted space when packing them near each other. They're made of a sturdy plastic material that's light weight and easy to store for reuse. It's easy to fold them over to make a custom height as the plant grows. The drainage holes are large enough to provide proper drainage. I am so glad I tried these because they are easier than hard pots and are deep enough to satisfy the need of any plant with long roots while waiting to go in the ground when it's warm enough outside.

They are sold as 12" tall pots but are an 8" pot.

Good but flimsy

These are not what I was expecting, very thin and soft, and I only recieved two sizes. They were packaged so tightly together, one inside another, that they were almost impossible to get apart. It finally took two of us to seperate them. Plus, they smelled SO BAD (like a garbage fire) that I threw then out. I couldn't stand being in the same room. Even after a day outside they still smelled horrible.

Pot material is incredibly thin and flimsy, but looks like they’re strong enough to for their purpose. Not sure how many times these could be reused, but I’m guessing twice at the most. The main reason for subtracting a star was the smell. It wasn’t a new plastic smell, but I strong burnt plastic/rubber smell. I gradually went away, but my goodness was it ever strong at first.

Ignore the reviews complaining about quality. These are meant to be cheap and disposable. Also, they are not for tomatoes. They are specifically designed for large scale commercial growers of hard wood tree species: oak, maple, walnut, linden, etc. Those have extremely deep roots and require very tall containers which don’t have to be wide in order to save space which is important when you plant hundreds of seedlings.
