HC Companies Elite True 400 Nursery Pot | Black - 7.5in D x 7.25in H - Max Liquid Volume: 1gal (Case of 75)

Reusable Blow-Molded Pot with Secure Grip Lip, Elite True 400

A pot that only survives one growing cycle adds up in replacement cost fast for a grower who wants to wash and refill the same containers season after season. The HC Companies Elite Nursery Pot is molded to stand up to repeated cleaning and reuse indoors or outdoors, with a lip formed around the rim specifically so a wet, soil-covered pot doesn't slip out of a grower's grip.

At 7.5in D x 7.25in H with a 1gal maximum liquid volume, the Elite True 400 steps up from the Elite 300 to fit growers moving slightly larger stock through the same reusable, grip-lip design.

Key Features & Benefits

• Blow-molded for durability — built to be cleaned and reused repeatedly rather than discarded after one crop cycle.
• Top rim grip lip — gives a secure hold when the pot is wet or covered in soil during transplanting or moving.
• Indoor and outdoor rated — holds up to both greenhouse conditions and outdoor exposure across seasons.
• Volume matched to footprint — sizes the pot's liquid capacity to its specific footprint for predictable watering across a bench of matching pots.

Who Should Use This

Growers who reuse pots season after season rather than discarding them after one crop are the right fit for the Elite line, since the grip lip and blow-molded durability are built around repeated cleaning and refilling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many times can this pot be reused?

It's built to be cleaned and reused across multiple growing cycles rather than discarded after one crop, though exact lifespan depends on how it's cleaned and handled between uses. Rinsing soil out promptly and avoiding harsh abrasives when scrubbing extends its usable life.

What does the grip lip do?

It's a lip formed around the pot's top rim that gives fingers something secure to hold onto when the container is wet or covered in soil. That matters most during transplanting, when a slick pot is easy to drop.

What does the maximum liquid volume figure represent?

It's the pot's capacity filled to the rim, sized to this pot's specific footprint. That figure isn't the same as the working headspace left once potting soil and a plant are in place.

Can this pot be used outdoors as well as indoors?

Yes, it's rated for both indoor greenhouse use and outdoor exposure, so growers can move stock between a covered growing area and an outdoor bench without switching container lines. Check for any regional sun or freeze exposure concerns specific to your climate.
