Nursery Supplies 3-Gallon Trade Pots 26-Pack — 2.296 gal Actual Capacity, Stackable with 5 Drain Holes

Nursery Supplies 26-pack of 3-gallon trade pots are durable blow-molded containers that actually hold 2.296 gallons each and measure 10" diameter by 9" deep with five drainage holes.

These lightweight, reusable plastic nursery pots are made for professional growers, landscapers and home gardeners who need uniform, stackable containers for seedlings, transplants and finished plants. Often called “3 gallon trade pots,” they are blow-molded for consistent wall thickness and strength, and are built to withstand repeated use outdoors or in greenhouses. The stackable design and standardized dimensions make them easy to store and transport, while the five drain holes help prevent root rot from excess water.

How much soil or actual water capacity does each pot hold?

Although marketed as a 3-gallon trade pot, each container’s true liquid volume is 2.296 gallons (actual measured capacity). That discrepancy is common between trade names and measured capacity; plan potting mixes accordingly. Use the actual volume for scheduling water and nutrients if you measure by volume.

• Actual liquid capacity: 2.296 gallons per pot
• Labelled trade size: 3-gallon trade pot
• Useful fill volume for potting mix: slightly less than 2.296 gallons to allow headspace

What are the physical dimensions and drainage features?

Each pot measures 10 inches across the top and 9 inches from rim to base, offering a stable footprint for medium-sized plants. The base includes five drain holes that improve outflow and reduce waterlogging, suitable for both container mixes and nursery bench systems. The shape and wall rigidity help resist collapsing when filled or stacked.

• Top diameter: 10 inches
• Depth: 9 inches
• Drainage: five pre-formed holes in the bottom
• Construction: blow-molded for even thickness and durability

How many pots are included and what are they best used for?

This listing contains 26 identical pots, making it convenient for small commercial runs, nursery propagation, or larger home projects that need consistency across many containers. They suit seedling hardening, short-term nursery use, repotting and temporary shipping of plants. Because they can be cleaned and reused, they’re economical for repeated cycles.

• Quantity: 26 pots per pack

Are these pots compatible with greenhouse racks and transport systems?

Their blow-molded construction provides uniform stacking and helps optimize pallet space during transport. They are lightweight, reducing handling fatigue during loading and unloading.

• Standard trade dimensions for bench/tray compatibility
