Square Basket, 9" (Bag of 24)

A Square Mesh Basket for Even Drainage and Root Support, 9in

Square footprints make more efficient use of bench and shelf space than round containers of the same volume, and a mesh construction spreads drainage evenly across the full base instead of concentrating it through a handful of holes. This Hydrofarm 9 inch square basket combines both, giving growers a space-efficient container with consistent drainage across a variety of growing media.

This 9 inch square basket ships in a bag of 24, sized for growers filling out a full bench or tray rather than buying baskets individually.

• 9 inch square footprint — uses bench and shelf space more efficiently than a round container of the same volume

Who Should Use This Square Basket

Growers who want a space-efficient square container with even, mesh-based drainage across a variety of growing media will benefit from this 9 inch basket.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this basket?

This listing is for the 9 inch square Hydrofarm mesh basket. Its square footprint is measured at 9 inches per side.

How many baskets come in this bag?

This listing ships in a bag of 24 baskets. That count suits growers filling out a full bench or tray.

How does mesh drainage differ from standard drainage holes?

Mesh construction spreads drainage evenly across the entire base of the basket rather than concentrating it through a handful of drilled holes. This helps prevent uneven wet and dry pockets in the root zone between waterings.

What growing media works in this basket?

It's built to support a variety of media, including standard soil or soilless potting mixes, coco coir, and coarser hydroponic media like clay pebbles. The mesh base drains freely regardless of which medium is used.

Why choose a square basket over a round one?

A square footprint tiles more efficiently across a flat bench or tray than a round container of the same volume. This leaves less wasted space between adjacent containers when growers are trying to maximize the number of plants per bench.
