Round Mesh Bottom Pot, 8" (Bag of 50)

A Round Pot with a Mesh Base for Even Drainage, 8in

A solid-bottomed pot concentrates drainage through a handful of holes, which can leave parts of the root zone sitting wetter than others between waterings. This Hydrofarm 8 inch round mesh bottom pot spreads drainage evenly across its entire base instead, using a mesh pattern that lets water move out uniformly rather than pooling near a few drainage points.

This 8 inch pot holds about 1.5 gallons of growing media and ships in a bag of 50, sized for growers filling out a full bench or hydroponic run rather than buying pots individually.

Key Features & Benefits

• Mesh bottom construction — spreads drainage evenly across the full base instead of through a few holes
• Holds about 1.5 gallons — of growing media in an 8 inch round footprint
• Supports healthy root growth — even moisture distribution across the base reduces overly wet or dry pockets in the root zone
• Bag of 50 — for growers outfitting a full bench or hydroponic run at once

Who Should Use This Mesh Bottom Pot

Growers who want more even drainage across the base of an 8 inch round pot than a standard hole-pattern container provides will benefit from this mesh bottom design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this pot?

This listing is for the 8 inch round mesh bottom pot, which holds about 1.5 gallons of growing media. That capacity suits a single mature plant in most container setups.

How many pots come in this bag?

This listing ships in a bag of 50 pots. That count suits growers filling out a full bench or hydroponic run.

How does a mesh bottom differ from standard drainage holes?

A mesh bottom spreads drainage evenly across the entire base of the pot 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 pot?

It's built to hold standard soil or soilless potting mixes, coco coir, or coarser hydroponic media. The mesh base supports material while still draining freely.

How should I water a plant in this pot?

Water until you see moisture beginning to drain from the mesh base, which confirms the full root zone has been reached. Because drainage is spread evenly across the bottom, you're less likely to see channeling or dry spots than with a pot that only has a few drainage holes.
