great planters

I received the Hydrofarm pro cal 5 gallon premium nursery black plastic planter garden grow pots from try it sampling for my honest review. The pots provide great drainage since there are holes on the sides and bottom. I can use them indoors outdoors or in a greenhouse. They are made with a pretty wide rim for easy carrying and transport. The pot allows for durability and will also protect my plants. Made very well.

These pots were excellent

I am very happy with these pots. They are well made and feel like a thick good quality planting pot. Not heavy though which is nice. They came with pre-drilled drainage holes on the side which was nice so that I didn't have to drill or pop out any little pre-formed circle thingys at the bottom of the pot to allow for drainage. Overall I am very happy with these and look forward to my plants happily growing in them!

Good to have on hand for new season

Glad to have Hydrofarm - Pro Cal 5 Gallon Premium Nursery Black Plastic Planter Garden Grow Pots 5 Pack on hand for the new spring and summer season. Great for beginner pots and heavy duty enough for large bushes or palms. Did have to put my own drain holes but it was easy.

Perfect Pots!

For some reason I was thinking this was going to be one giant pot but to my surprise it was 5 pots! How wonderful. These pots are not too heavy so I can lift them even if there’s a plant in it. They have drainage holes built in which I love because I’ve planted in buckets before and had to drill the drainage holes in. I can’t wait to plant in them outside in the spring.

Never knew I wanted so bad

I've been searching for the perfect size pots to easily plant some bushes that bloom. My garden bed is covered in rock and it's so difficult to keep the weeds down. Using these pots makes it easy to keep my bed cleaned.
