Who This Is For

  • Stunted root development happens because your pots sit flat on trays and cut off oxygen to the bottom.
  • Your plants start wilting under intense lights because dark containers are cooking the root zone from the outside in.
  • Seedlings develop unevenly because standard drainage holes alone cannot prevent water from pooling at the base.

What We Found

  • The extra height on these 5-inch squares is perfect for encouraging deep vertical root growth during propagation.
  • The perimeter slits do more for air-pruning roots than the bottom drainage holes do for simple water runoff.

What Users Say

  • Growers who switched from standard nursery pots say the raised base cleared up the algae issues they had on trays.
  • Facilities using these at scale report that the white finish keeps root zones cooler in high-PPFD environments.

Active Aqua 5" x 5" Square White Pot, 7" Tall – Case of 100

Inconsistent drainage and poor root zone aeration are two of the fastest ways to stunt plant development — especially when scaling up production across dozens of sites using an Active Aqua Grow Flow 12 Site Ebb & Flow System. The Active Aqua 5" x 5" Square White Pot addresses both with a purpose-built design: a raised bottom, multi-drainage holes, and perimeter slits that keep oxygen moving through the root zone from day one. The classic white finish reflects light away from the pot walls, helping maintain cooler substrate temperatures during high-intensity grows. Each pot holds approximately 2 quarts (½ gallon) of growing media — ideal for propagation, seedling development, and single-plant cultivation. If you require a larger footprint for later growth phases, we also offer the Active Aqua 6" x 6" Square White Pot in bulk cases.

Features

🕳️
Multi-Drainage Design

Unique combination of drainage holes and perimeter slits promotes maximum aeration and prevents waterlogging at the root zone.

🌿
Raised Bottom for Airflow

Elevated base lifts the pot off flat surfaces, creating passive underside airflow and reducing moisture buildup beneath the container.

☀️
Root-Cooling White Finish

Classic white exterior reflects light rather than absorbing it, helping keep substrate and root-zone temperatures lower under intense grow lighting.

💧
½-Gallon Media Capacity

Each pot holds approximately 2 quarts of growing media — well-suited for propagation, seedling staging, and compact single-plant applications.

🏗️
Heavy-Duty Construction

Built from durable plastic rated for repeated use across multiple grow cycles, resisting cracking, warping, and UV degradation over time.

📦
Commercial Case Quantity

Sold in cases of 100 for growers who need uniform containers at scale — consistent sizing across every site simplifies spacing and fits perfectly within an Active Aqua 2.0 Infinity Tray.

Frequently Asked Questions

What growing media works best in these pots? +

These pots are compatible with all standard growing media including coco coir, perlite blends, rockwool, and soil-based mixes. The drainage holes and perimeter slits are sized to retain media while allowing excess water and air to pass through freely.

How much media does each pot hold? +

Each pot has an inner volume of approximately 2 quarts, or roughly half a gallon. This makes them well-suited for propagation, seedling development, and any application where a compact, single-plant container is needed before transplanting up to a larger vessel like the Active Aqua 7" x 7" Square White Pot.

Why does the white color matter for root health? +

White reflects radiant heat from grow lights rather than absorbing it, which helps keep substrate temperatures more stable and root-zone conditions cooler — particularly important under high-intensity LED or HID lighting. Dark-colored containers can absorb significant heat and stress roots during long photoperiods.

Are these pots reusable across multiple grow cycles? +

Yes. Active Aqua pots are constructed from heavy-duty plastic designed to withstand repeated use without cracking, warping, or degrading under normal grow room conditions. Between cycles, they can be cleaned and sanitized using standard horticultural cleaning solutions, often circulated by an Active Aqua 24W Submersible Water Pump.

Do these fit standard propagation trays? +

The 5" × 5" square footprint is a common nursery industry standard, and these pots are designed to seat neatly in compatible propagation and flood trays. Check tray insert spacing before ordering in bulk to confirm cell-count compatibility with your specific tray brand.

How does the raised bottom improve drainage? +

The raised base elevates the pot's drainage holes above the tray surface, preventing pots from sitting in standing runoff water — a common cause of anaerobic root conditions. This design allows excess water to drain freely and air to circulate under the container between irrigation cycles.

Is this case quantity suitable for commercial operations? +

The case of 100 is designed specifically with commercial and large-scale hobby growers in mind, offering a cost-effective per-unit price and uniform container sizing across an entire facility. Consistent pot dimensions simplify bench layout, spacing calculations, and automation compatibility throughout the grow cycle.
