The HC Companies Short Pot | Green/Black 15cm (6in) - Short - 6in x 4.17in - Max Liquid Volume : 1.3qt (Case of 680)

Full Bench Footprint, Reduced Height Clearance, 1.3qt

Some plants need the full 6in bench footprint of a standard pot but grow better with less depth beneath the root ball, whether for shallow-rooting species or tighter overhead clearance. The HC Companies Short Pot keeps the familiar 6in (15cm) diameter while trimming height to 4.17in, without cutting into usable substrate volume more than necessary.

At 6in diameter x 4.17in H with a 1.3qt capacity, this size suits vegetative-stage plants and shallow-rooting varieties that don't need the full depth of a standard 6in pot. Sold in cases of 680, it's built for growers optimizing bench density and overhead clearance at commercial scale.

Key Features & Benefits

• Short 4.17in H profile — reduces overhead clearance needed versus a standard-depth 6in pot without shrinking the bench footprint.
• Standard 6in (15cm) diameter — matches common bench spacing and tray layouts sized for full-diameter pots.
• 1.3qt capacity — adequate root volume for vegetative-stage plants and shallow-rooting varieties.
• Injection-molded construction — rigid walls resist cracking under repeated handling and stacking.
• Case of 680 — matched to commercial-scale vegetative and bench-density programs.

Who Should Use The HC Companies Short Pot

Growers optimizing overhead clearance under lights or shelving who still need a full 6in bench footprint, including shallow-rooting plant programs and multi-tier commercial operations.

About HC Companies Nursery Containers

HC Companies has manufactured injection-molded nursery containers for the horticulture industry for decades, focusing on consistent tooling that keeps wall thickness and drainage uniform across large production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a short pot instead of a standard-depth 6in pot?

The 4.17in height reduces overhead clearance needed under lights or shelving while keeping the same 6in bench footprint, which matters in multi-tier or height-limited setups.

Does the reduced height limit which plants can use this pot?

It suits vegetative-stage plants and shallow-rooting varieties well; deep-rooting species may do better in a standard or deep-profile pot of the same diameter.

What size plants fit a 1.3qt short pot?

This capacity fits vegetative-stage growth and shallow-rooting varieties that don't require the full depth of a standard 6in container.

Can this pot be reused across growing cycles?

Yes, the rigid injection-molded plastic can be cleaned and reused across multiple cycles rather than discarded after one use.

Is this pot suitable for hydroponic vegetative growth?

Yes, the drainage-ready round design works as a media container in hydroponic vegetative setups as well as traditional soil growing.
