Flexible plant pots

[Tombob 10]

Does anyone know where to get small flexible plant pots from in Sheffield?

Im after the small ones about 50mm diameter. They should be about 3 or 4 pence each.

Cheers

Hi Tombob,

What are these type of pots made from? Are they like them pots that tomato plants were/are sold in but smaller?

they are like this:

But those are too big and expensive, i think poundland used to sell them in packs of 40 but no more.

I think the material is HDPE

Do you specifically need them to be made of flexible material?

Ordinary plant plots are a little flexible, enough to spearate the soil and roots from the pot. Do you need this type for a specific reason? Have you tried using cheap plastic disposable cups? These are really thin and flexible these days.

Cheers for replies, yeah they have to be totally flexible.

Looks like you can get them from china for next to nothing, but order quantity is 1000`s.

Flexi pots are brilliant . I got mine about 10 years ago from wilkinsons and they are still going strong.

You could have got 6000 for about £25 then. (a few too many) from LBS but can't now

 

now I think you'd have to buy a container full from China- probably about ten million of them!!!!

 

if you do find out anywhere you can get them - please post on here ta
