Compostable Seed Started Pots
$1.50
These biodegradable coco coir pots are a great way to start your seeds if you plan to ultimately transfer your plants either outdoors or into larger pots. Made from 100% natural coconut husks, they are sturdy enough to hold up on your windowsill but will also break down when you bury them in soil.
Each pot measures 4″ high and the top is 3.5″ square.
