50 Pack 1 Gallon Plastic Plant Nursery Pots Thickened Soft Plastic Plant Pots with 50 Pcs Waterproof Plastic T-Type Plant Tags and 2Pcs/Set Transplanting Digging Mini Tools

I saw several complaints about how flimsy these pots were and, to be honest, I was hesitant to purchase these. I needed a large quantity of 6" pots and this seemed like the best value around.First thoughts on the pots:My very first thought was: "They were right, these things are flimsy;" however, they are *nursery* pots! They are supposed to be flexible around the base of the plant to allow easy removal for transplanting without damaging the root-ball inside. That's exactly what these pots were designed for.The rim is actually quite thick and durable - and once this pot is filled with dirt, it stands and holds its own quite nicely. If you were to go to a local nursery and purchase a few plants, this is pretty much - if not exactly - what you would receive your plant in.This is a nursery pot, and as such, I would not recommend using this as a long-term pot. This could, however, be used if you wish to store your plant in a decorative pot without drainage - as a liner so you can remove the plant to water and then place back in the decorative pot. Just be mindful, if the plant is too top heavy, the pot will likely not withstand the weight and will topple over.The drainage holes are quite large, so I would recommend lining the bottom with a small piece of thin paper towel to keep your dirt from falling out. The paper will break down and will not prevent water from passing through - this just keeps your dirt from falling out until the roots can grab hold. The cut outs do still have the little tabs inside... not a big deal, as buying thicker plastic pots from your local garden center, some will still have the tabs in them. I tried to remove the tabs but I couldn't. They don't just pop off like the thick plastic ones. I pulled extremely hard for about 3 minutes and the only thing I could manage was a tiny little tear that made the drainage hole a little bit bigger. As long as the tabs are folded in, they won't get in the way or block the hole - the dirt will prevent them from closing once its filled so leaving them in is the best option (unless they bug you, then I recommend cutting them out).Final thought on the pots? **Perfect for what I need.**- They are thin, but are difficult to tear.- Sturdy enough to hold my aloe pups that are too large for a 4" pot.- Great valueTools:My very first thought on the tools were: "These are kinda gimmicky .... " However, while I was transplanting over 30 of my aloe vera pups, the long, tapered tool became VERY useful at creating the perfect size and depth for a hole for the small pups. A+ on the nifty tools - I will be using them again for other things.Plant Tags:Honestly, I've not used them yet. They I feel thick and durable and are a nice size. I haven't tried writing on them so I'm not sure what type of marker would be best. Plan on using them in the future for other plants in my garden.

I read the reviews prior to purchasing and knew that the pot is very light weight and flimsy. I am satisfied with them. I suspect that I can get a few seasons of use out of them. I am in Tucson, and they have tolerated the hot sun. Empty or half full pots can warp in the sun. I transplanted my super-hot pepper plants from 4-inch pots to these pots. They have since been transplanted to their permanent 12-inch pots. I don't think I would use them as a permanent pot. I have plenty of these pots and probably will not run out of them but I will purchase again if I need more.

As others have said, the pots are VERY thin. I think they will work OK anyway. Many of my other pots I reuse several times, but these I doubt will hold up to multiple uses. I appreciate that the cost is lower than other pots, so I got many more pots for the money. The plant tags are surprisingly substantial, heavier than I expected, a nice addition.

I use hundreds upon hundreds of seedlings pots each year and these are my favorite!

Yes, the material for these pots is quite thin, but they have held up absolutely fine to the full weight of soil and water, transporting back and forth in and out of the greenhouse every day for two weeks to harden off plants, and they look quite nice as well. I haven’t had a single tear in the plastic even when I’ve accidentally jabbed the side pretty good with stakes and the plant labels that are included with this pack. Some reviewers have complained that theirs were all crinkly and I understand how that could be upsetting if it’s severe or if they got fully smashed (time to return I would say). Several of mine were wrinkly as well, but once I had filled them out with soil and put them in a toasty greenhouse, I haven’t even been able to tell which ones had those merely cosmetic issues. I was so happy with these that I ended up buying another set of 80 so I could keep transplanting away. I even got some use out of the cute little seed tools that are included. These pots and accessories are a great value plain and simple. They get the dang job done!

I have never placed a review for any product and I am 70 years old now. However, this product is well worth praising. I just placed my third, 80 6" plastic pot order. Although the pots are quite thin, they are very robust. The top rim is very, very sturdy. I like starting bulbs in containers until the plants start showing good growth before moving the plants to permanent ground areas. I did not tear a single pot after I used my first 160. I just place a 4 cup paper coffee filter at the bottom to keep soil in the pot, but still enable good drainage. After I move the potted plants to soil, I will clean all of the used pots in a bucket of water and bleach and use them over next year. The provided plastic T-Tags are also outstanding. These are made of heavy white plastic and are very, very durable. This is a terrific product that I wholeheartedly recommend!!!

Holds a lot but the containers are hard to separate and are easily dented and punctured.

I have been buying these for a couple of seasons now and while they are not super robust, they definitely offer good value for the money. The drainage holes are not punched out very well so you have to do just a little bit of cleaning to pull off any punch-outs that are not completely "punched-out". If you are careful with them as you are up-potting, you will get several seasons out of them as long as you are not completely crushing them (I'm fairly gentle with them). They also tend to hold up pretty well if you leave them out in the sun. Overall, lots of value for the buck and I will buy again.
