Plant-based pot Jiffy Pot R3

paperroundrecyclable

Product overview
Jiffy Pot R3 is a plantable fiber pot designed for reliable handling and clean presentation in retail-focused and landscaping production. It maintains shape and cleanliness longer than Jiffy Pot Original while providing a plastic-free option for growers pursuing sustainable production.

Material and sustainability
Jiffy Pot R3 is plastic-free. Main components are bio-based and organic, fully recyclable in the paper waste stream. The pot is plantable and can be set directly into the landscape or into a larger container where it gradually biodegrades into soil- or substrate-like material, supporting plant establishment.

Performance and durability
Compared with Jiffy Pot Original, R3 remains cleaner and retains structural strength for longer periods. Under appropriate conditions the pot can stay visually clean for up to 12 weeks and, depending on the application, can persist up to 12 months. Proper water management and airflow optimize pot strength and appearance across production systems.

Root health and crop development
Jiffy Pot R3 features breathable walls that support natural root pruning and a more oxygenated root zone. This promotes a dense, well-branched root system, can reduce susceptibility to root-related diseases and supports faster crop development and stronger vertical growth.
