I have been using three prototypes for 6 moths now, and i was initially concerned about the leakage, however they don’t leak water out of the sides. As for the roots, they were initially designed around the basis of replacing the temporary plastic pots you receive in garden centres. However I’m still only 6 months down the line of testing.

I think this is a great idea. It would probably be nicer if it were totally sealed and just folded flat for shipping.

My mom used to grow seedlings in clear glass jars full of water on the window sill. The roots were totally exposed to light and they did just fine.

The reason that plant pots are not transparent is that plant roots do not like to be exposed to light. That’s why they grow … you know … underground.

These look very cute and would be fine for temporarily holding seedlings and very small plants, maybe.

Water will leak along the vertical closure edge, making watering both a chore and not likely to leave the soil “evenly moist” as most plants need.

Above a certain size (bigger than say 4″ tall) the sides will buckle and bow out. It wouldn’t look like the picture for long.
