Care information

Proper cleaning, drying and storage will help keep your sprouting equipment hygienic and in good working condition. Always follow any product-specific care instructions supplied with the item.

Cleaning: Wash reusable jars, trays, lids, screens and other growing components thoroughly before first use and after every crop. Use warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse well with clean water.

Sanitising: Equipment used for growing edible sprouts or microgreens should be sanitised regularly using a suitable food-contact sanitising method that is compatible with the product material. Rinse where required by the sanitiser instructions.

Drying: Allow all components to dry completely before reassembling or storing. Trapped moisture can encourage mould, odours and microbial growth.

During Growing: Keep drainage holes, mesh screens and ventilation areas clear so water can drain freely and air can circulate around the crop. Remove seed residue and organic matter between growing cycles.

Handling: Avoid abrasive scourers, harsh chemicals or excessive force that may scratch, warp or damage plastic, glass, mesh or other components. Do not expose equipment to high heat unless the product is specifically rated for it.

Inspection: Check reusable equipment regularly for cracks, chips, damaged screens, worn seals or other deterioration. Replace damaged components that can no longer be cleaned effectively or used safely.

Storage: Store clean, completely dry equipment in a dry, well-ventilated area away from excessive heat, direct sunlight and contamination.

Best Care: Product materials and cleaning requirements can vary, so follow any specific washing, dishwasher, temperature or maintenance instructions shown on the product packaging or product page.

Delivery and Shipping

Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your order size and weight, delivery address and available carrier services. We use Australia Post and other carriers to provide suitable delivery options and rates.

Dispatch

Orders are generally packed and dispatched within 0–2 business days (Monday–Friday), excluding public holidays and unusually busy periods.

Delivery Times

Delivery times begin from the date your order is dispatched. As a general guide, Australia Post Parcel Post usually takes 2–6 business days, while Express Post generally takes 1–3 business days where available.

Regional and remote destinations may take longer. Orders containing seed sent to Western Australia, Tasmania or other biosecurity-controlled destinations may also require additional processing or inspection.

Delivery estimates are provided as a guide only and can be affected by carrier delays, weather, peak periods and biosecurity requirements.

Tracking

All shipped orders include tracking. Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive an email with your tracking information so you can follow its progress.

Authority to Leave

Depending on the carrier and delivery service, your parcel may be left in a safe location if no one is available to receive it. You can provide delivery instructions during checkout where supported by the carrier; however, specific delivery requests cannot always be guaranteed.

Local Pickup – Riverstone, NSW

Local pickup can be selected at checkout when available. Please allow approximately 2–3 business days for your order to be prepared.

Wait until we contact you to confirm that your order is ready and arrange a suitable collection time.

Please do not attend the warehouse without an appointment. All pickups are strictly by prior arrangement.

Seed Biosecurity – WA & Tasmania

Seeds and other plant material may be subject to state biosecurity restrictions.

Western Australia has specific entry requirements for seed, and seed consignments may be inspected by Quarantine WA. Tasmania also regulates the importation of viable seed, with additional requirements applying to certain species and consignments.

Requirements vary by seed species, quantity and destination and may change over time. Customers in Western Australia, Tasmania and other biosecurity-controlled areas should check current state requirements before ordering.

Where an order contains seed that cannot meet applicable biosecurity requirements, we may need to contact you before dispatch or remove affected products from the order.

Biodegradable Seedling Pots – Coco Fibre 10cm

Start seedlings and cuttings in plantable 10cm biodegradable pots made from recycled paper and coco fibre, helping reduce root disturbance when transplanting into garden beds or larger containers.

Description

Biodegradable Seedling Pots for Easy Transplanting

Raise seedlings with less plastic and less root disturbance using our Biodegradable Seedling Pots. Made from recycled paper and coco fibre, these lightweight propagation pots are designed so the seedling and pot can be planted together into a garden bed or larger container.

Each pot measures approximately 10cm in diameter × 8cm high, providing useful growing space for vegetable, herb and flower seedlings as well as many types of cuttings. Simply fill with seed-raising mix, sow or insert your cutting, maintain appropriate moisture and transplant once the young plant is ready.

Plant the Pot & Seedling Together

Unlike a conventional plastic nursery pot, the seedling does not need to be pulled from its container before transplanting. Planting the biodegradable pot with the seedling helps minimise disturbance to developing roots, which can be particularly useful for plants that do not respond well to root handling.

Once planted into moist soil, the fibre pot gradually breaks down while roots continue growing into the surrounding soil. For best results, bury the entire pot, including the upper rim, below the surrounding soil surface.

Suitable for Herbs, Vegetables, Flowers & Cuttings

These plantable seedling pots can be used for a broad range of propagation projects, including herbs, vegetables, flowers, ornamental plants and rooted cuttings.

The individual-pot format provides developing seedlings with more root space than small plug cells and makes it easy to move each plant into its final position when ready.

Use with a Suitable Seed-Raising Mix

Fill each pot with a fine, well-drained seed-raising or propagation mix appropriate for the plant being grown. For applications where additional moisture retention is useful, Vermiculite Growing Medium can be incorporated into suitable propagation mixes or used as a light covering for selected seeds.

A Practical Alternative to Disposable Plastic Pots

The pots are designed for a single propagation cycle and biodegrade after planting rather than requiring the seedling to be removed from a disposable plastic container.

They are available in packs of 50 or 100, making them suitable for home gardeners as well as larger seed-raising and propagation projects.

How to Use Biodegradable Seedling Pots

These biodegradable fibre pots are designed for raising seedlings and cuttings before transplanting the entire pot into a garden bed or larger container.

What You Need

  • Biodegradable seedling pots
  • Quality seed-raising or propagation mix
  • Seeds or prepared cuttings
  • Clean water
  • A suitable tray or saucer to collect drainage

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the pots: Place the biodegradable pots upright in a propagation tray or on a waterproof surface.
  2. Add growing medium: Fill each pot with quality seed-raising or propagation mix, leaving a small amount of space at the top.
  3. Sow or plant: Sow seeds at the depth recommended for the particular species, or insert prepared cuttings according to their propagation requirements.
  4. Water gently: Moisten the growing medium thoroughly without washing seeds out of position.
  5. Provide suitable conditions: Position the pots according to the light and temperature requirements of the plants being grown.
  6. Monitor moisture: Fibre pots can lose moisture through their walls as well as from the surface of the growing medium, so check them regularly.
  7. Allow roots to establish: Grow seedlings until they are sufficiently developed for transplanting.
  8. Harden off where required: Gradually acclimatise indoor-raised seedlings to outdoor conditions before planting them outside.
  9. Plant pot and all: Dig a hole large enough for the complete pot and place it directly into the soil without removing the seedling.
  10. Bury the entire pot: Position the upper rim slightly below the surrounding soil surface.
  11. Backfill and water: Firm the surrounding soil gently and water thoroughly after transplanting.

Why Bury the Rim?

Do not leave the upper edge of the fibre pot exposed above the surrounding soil.

Exposed fibre can dry rapidly and wick moisture away from the root zone. Burying the complete pot helps keep it in contact with the surrounding moist soil as it begins to break down.

Suitable Uses

These pots are suitable for:

  • Vegetable seedlings
  • Herb seedlings
  • Flower seedlings
  • Ornamental plants
  • Seed propagation
  • Rooted cuttings
  • Plants that benefit from reduced root disturbance during transplanting

Watering During Propagation

Fibre pots are porous and may dry more quickly than non-porous plastic pots.

Check moisture regularly and water according to the needs of the plant rather than following a fixed schedule.

Keep the growing medium appropriately moist during establishment, but avoid leaving the pots continuously waterlogged.

Transplanting

Transplant before seedlings become severely root-bound or oversized for the pot.

For seedlings raised indoors, harden them off gradually before outdoor planting where necessary.

Plant the entire pot below soil level and water thoroughly after transplanting to settle the surrounding soil.

Cleaning & Storage

These pots are intended for a single growing cycle and are planted with the seedling.

Keep unused pots:

  • clean;
  • dry;
  • protected from moisture; and
  • stored away from weather until required.

Moisture can begin softening the fibre before use, so avoid storing unused pots in damp growing areas.
