GIANT ROUND PLANT POTS

We also offer a very competitive range of giant plastic plant pots. These are more specialised and ideal for larger specimen plants, bamboos and trees. They are extremely strong made from recycled black rubberised plastic and are very sturdy. The pots are pre-drilled with drainage holes in the sides and base and are generally wider than they are deep providing the stability required for larger plants. When planted, these pots are left in situ hence no handles.

These giant plant pots are available in the following sizes.
160 litre 80cm Diameter x 51cm Height
210 litre 73cm Diameter x 53.5cm Height
230 litre 78cm Diameter x 53cm Height
285 litre 87cm Diameter x 54cm Height
350 litre 87cm Diameter x 70cm Height
