Comments about Paperpots:
I really like using the paper pots to put my transplants into.

Comments about Paperpots:
I expected individual pots to put in expanded honeycomb then plant the pots. The picture indicates that's what I would get. Just a piece of honeycomb paper was a big dissappointment. Messy to separate the pots,wasted about half the paper.

Comments about Paperpots:
This is my go-to product for seed starting and growing on tiny seedlings, and has been for years. I split the paper honeycomb in two -- it's easy to pull apart if you moisten the strip with warm water first. Each half fills a standard plant tray. Then I fill the individual cells with seed starting or transplant mix. Then either sow seeds directly into the cells -- lettuces, Chinese greens, basil,nasturtiums and other flowers work well -- or transplant tiny seedlings from a germinator tray into the paper pots. Tiny filaments of petunias grow into nice healthy plants in the paperpots, ready to harden off for the garden and containers. The best part is there is no transplanting shock. The paper keeps each plant segregated, without suffocating them in plastic. Simply strip off the paper surround, and you've got a plant with a healthy batch of undisturbed roots to plant. The paper is compostable, so there are no plastic pots to wash or dispose of.

Comments about Paperpots:
I grow lots of bedding plants and garden vegetables every year using these. If I am growing enough to fill the whole unit, I fill them in a clear plastic storage box or tub ~ 6"-8" high. I have found some boxes that fit perfectly, and I fill the cells in the box and grow it in situ. I keep the boxes to use each year for this purpose. If I seed the whole unit and some plants grow faster, I just peel those cells out and put them in another container. If I don't want to use all 80 cells in a unit, I cut them (carefully) to fit a few cells into another smaller tub. Even rectangular deli tubs work well for 6-10 cells at a time, or maybe 18-24 in a clear shoebox type size. Watering is easy in the tub, no drips. No mess, no fuss. If humidity is low, I cover the boxes with plastic. Works great! If the cells are moist, they usually peel apart from one another with no problem. Even when larger transplants grow together, they separate and transplant well. [...]

Comments about Paperpots:
I did not have a problem with the fact that the pots were connected, until I found that it wasn't as easy to separate them as was described. I also was not at all fond of the fact that there was no bottom.
Comments about Paperpots:
I soaked these in water to seperate before planting with transplants. I use these inside a planting tray so I can carry them to the garden from my basement. I start everything in Feb. and March so my plants are ready to plant when the weather breaks.

Comments about Paperpots:
I use the paper pots mostly for tomatoes and peppers.
Storage--no need to have tons of various size pots all around.
The tray is bigger than the pots when extended. I use clothespins to keep it in place while I fill. Since the tray is bigger, you tend to waste some soil.

Comments about Paperpots:
I'm a hobby gardener. I Think this is by far the best paper pot system I've ever used. Plants don't get root bond. The pots can be used year after. Clean and put away for the next year. Every few years I have to buy some new ones. I use the fopur inch pots for tomato's and peppers. Later on it will be for my Zucchini's. The Zucchini flowers are a delicasie. I look forward to eatting them
Back to your paper pots there the greatest. Thank you Mr. Borelli

Comments about Paperpots:
The photo actually shows these as individual pots. They are not, there actually is an illustration below the photo that shows them all together in a honeycomb design. They arent individual pots until you put soil in them and wet them then they can be seperated. Had I known this I wouldnt have purchased them. And granted I only wasted [$] they arent what I wanted. I doubt if I ever plant 80 starts all at once!!
