Sturdy pots and look good on their own unlike standard nursery pots. And a great price. A shame Home Depot only stocks them online and not in stores.

Nice 10 gallon plastic Nursery Pots!
We grow lots of vegetables in raised beds, pots and garden. These pots are better, stronger than most. I got these to try growing pepper plants, then later moving them inside the greenhouse to extend the growing season. They hold up well to packing dirt/soil and are tall to let the roots extend down to the sauce. The saucer is better than most as well and holds just enough water to keep the soil moist. I expect to use these another growing season or more. 10 gallons is about right for 1 plant for all season not just a starter pot. Nice pots!

Worke great for my patio garden
My husband an I decide that this year we would do a patio garden instead of planting in our raised beds. These pots were just the thing we were looking for, an the fact that they came with a saucer for underneath was a great bonus. They were strong enough to support the tomatoe cages we use, didn't fall or tip oer during wind or rain storms, Our parsley doubled in size while in the pots and now we are able to bring it inside during the winter.

Sturdy plant trays!
These are excellent basic black nursery pots, flexible plastic (not rigid) for potting and repotting. However, the trays that come with it seem to be a bit wider than necessary, and a bit more rigid. I love them. You can pick up the pot by the tray because the tray is so supportive. The one thing I would say isn’t advantageous is that the pots seem to be built as single-use, while I can foresee these trays lasting for years.

great size for most plants and small shrubs
This set is suitable for most plants and even some small shrubs. It is 10 trade gallons, which is about 7 liquid gallons. The pots can be used with all types of soil and grow media and can be used indoors because each pot has its own saucer. Construction is durable and should last for a long time. They are stackable for easy storage. And they are made of 100% recyclable plastic. Overall, nice and sturdy, practical size.

Great for all plants!
Viagrow ten gallon round plastic nursery pots with saucers is a great product. The nursery pots are sturdy and each hold 10 gallons. They come with plastic saucers to catch any water drainage after watering. The nursery pots have seven drainage holes, one in the middle of pot and six drainage holes around the sides one inch up from bottom. Very nice for planting trees, shrubs, flowers. Great for tomatoes, even room enough in pot to add a trellis!

A Handy Nursary Pot
Easy for storage as they can stack ability together when not in use. Plastic material made with HDPE as recyclable. A raised rim provide better grip when moving your pot. For 10 gallon of size in 13.5" bottom W. X 17" W. top opening and 14.5" in height. Which is good either for you to plant vegetables, herbs or house plant as you desired. Bottom side hole provided better drainage and keep the plant in better growth. For inexpensive nursery pot, I'm sure you can enjoy your plant work without any hesitation for daily use.

Decent pots, better saucers
I use nursery pots as liners when potting up roses, as place one pot in another keeps the container shaded and lessens heat stress in the summer. At 6 gallons, the Viagrow pots are an acceptable size for small bushes. The plastic is pretty thin on the pots themselves- I would have preferred something thicker, but they will work for a couple of years while Rose is growing. The saucers however are sicker and good quality. I will probably be using those separately for other plants that I placed in Hardscapes to protect the surrounding area.

Pretty Standard
While these plastic nursery pots get the job done, I will say they are not the most substantial or sturdy nursery pots I've worked with. These are thin plastic with very little support or rigidity which means in most cases if you are potting a sapling tree like I have been, the tree and pot will fall over most of the time without some support. In this case loquat trees. If your goal is just a temporary transfer pot then these will definitely get the job done, but as a long term tree potting solution I would opt to use the thicker walled sturdier nursery pots.

Durable grow pots
Very nice size, ten gallon grow pots with saucers for the bottom to catch water if over filled. Made from a durable blow molded plastic. Large enough for tomato plants. I happen to be growing potatoes in mine. They come in a five pack with the saucers, pots are made from recycled HDPE plastic, BPA free and food safe. the rims are designed with a firm ridge at the top for easy carrying or moving of the pots.

Loves these!
These 10 gallon Viagrow Round Nursery pots are perfect to plant both flowers and vegetables in. My whole garden is made of pots and these are a great size and addition to my garden.. Also these have saucers which keeps the water from running through, keeping the plant moist longer then without it. I have plant eggplant , flowers, celery and peppers in these pots and all are doing well. Very please with them!

Good for indoors with the saucer.
Descent plastic pots for large plants. DRAINAGE is great!! There are holes on the bottom but also along the sides of the around the bottom of the pot for a better and complete drainage. I was thrown off by the holes on the side of the pot but the saucer pans’ edges are high enough to catch the water that may pour from those sides so you are good to go. REMINDER If this pot is indoors or on your deck or any surface that you want to protect from water damage/stains, YOU MUST USE THE SAUCER! The saucer pans are clear flexible plastic and solid enough to hold water. You will have to drain the water yourself or let the water evaporate. My experience with plastic and sun exposure the saucer should last outdoors for a few seasons while the pot should last many seasons. And both the saucer and pot should last indoors for many seasons. Overall excellent pot “kit” for large plants where surfaces need to be protected.

Viagrow doesnt disappoint
These 10 gallon containers with the platic bases work great and should last a while. You don't know how many plastic bases I have bought that cracked almost immediately and are worthless. These bases are thicker and ridged to provide air when the water is absorbed by the plant. It's important for plants to be able to absorb water from beneath. It helps the roots grow down and having the tray means you dont have to water everyday. The pots dont look like anything special but they are also well made and at 10 gallons, you can grow any vegetable plant you want. I have brussels sprouts and cabbage in mine. (See pics)

Great for planting projects
Large pot that works perfectly for a variety of my transplanting and seed starting projects. I have several lettuce seeds started in one of these pots - the plastic drip tray is perfect for when I have the pot under the grow light in the garage, and the light weight pot is easy to move back and forth inside and outside as I’m hardening it off. There are indentions on each side that work to grab the pot and move it. I’ve found lettuce seems to grow happily in 10 gal pots so instead of starting them small cartons and transplanting, I just start the seeds directly in a large pot with a blend of coconut coir and potting soil and let it grow there until time to harvest! I also have a volunteer climbing rose that I’m rooting for a friend to plant this fall. This pot is great to give the roots plenty of space, and it’s also easy to transport by car.

Good pots, questionable saucers
These are advertised as 10 trade gallons, or 7.5 actual gallons. But they are in fact about 8 trade gallons, and actually hold only 6 actual gallons - a far cry from a "10 gallon pot." They are made of HDPE, which is completely recyclable and does not have any type of plasticizer. This makes it safe for use with edible plants, fruits and vegetables, etc. The plastic is ultra thin, however it still seems to function well. Less plastic is generally better as far as the environment goes. The bottom is completely smooth and has no reinforcement ridges, so these tend to flex quite a bit. They may not sit flat on hard surfaces. However, in the garden, they do just fine for me. They are somewhat difficult to pick up when full due to the soft and thin material though. They are made by HHP in the US. Mine came filled with tons of plastic debris - shavings and detritus from the manufacturing process. Kind of disappointing, as I had to spend time cleaning them out so I wouldn't have a garden full of plastic. The trays are the typical clear stiff plastic, of unknown plastic type. They are advertised as "100% recyclable" but are not marked as recyclable on the package itself, nor is there a recycle symbol on the plastic. Thus, no recycler will take them. I do not recommend buying the Viagrow trays based on this.

Very good product
Love using the pots for our tender plants which can’t take the cold we occasionally get in Florida during the winters. Only negative and the reason for the four stars is the saucers are thin, crack easily and not the best product to use. I did purchase some separate, heavy duty saucers which takes care of the issue. The pots are good and can be reused multiple times.

Does the job
I recently used these posts to grow some herbs like oregano and basil. They do the job quite well! They may even be big enough for a small tomato plant. They are sturdy enough to not crumble and they are just the right size. I like that they come with saucers because occasionally I move my herbs to my deck. The saucers prevent any puddles of water from occurring.

Great Pots
Needed more of the Viagrow 5 Gal. Plastic Nursery Pots this time with the Saucers. I like that these, they are bigger and more straight  up and down than the 4 gallon ones that taper down toward the bottom of the pots. I planted the Trifolium Rubens, Coreopsis Berry Chiffon, Bee Balm Pink Lace, Hyssop Mango Tango and the Coreopsis Razzle Dazzle. All look great in these pots. These are also great for larger plants.

Excellent product
The pots Are strong and sturdy. The saucers are great for keeping the water contained. The saucers won’t last as they are thin plastic but the pots are heavy duty and sturdy. Even when full of soil, tree and wet the pot is very strong. Should be able to reuse for many years. We use these for some fruit trees which must be brought into the patio during the freeze. The saucers keep the patio floor dry. Excellent pots, saucers are too thin.

Nursery Pots with Saucers
I had several larger plants that had outgrown their smaller pots. One Areca palm had actually split its current pot. The Viagrow 10 gallon round plastic nursery pots were a good new size for the palm's home. The five pots come with saucers which is very convenient. The pots come in 5-pack and are a good value. The pots have a raised rim design that allow for easy handling and storage. There are holes on the bottom sides of the pot for drainage.

Great combo for a planter
Viagrow 1/2 Gal. Plastic Nursery Pots (5-Pack), Black, and saucers. My wife is an avid Gardner who grows many types of plants and trees, she likes the 1/2 gallon pots by viagrow because of the size and how sturdy they are, she likes the upper lip on the pot because it is sturdy enough to carry the pots around with. The saucers come in handy in the greenhouse because she uses them to judge the amount of water she is using for the individual plants. We have had some of the pots for years, they are tough enough to use over and over again. Sturdy and economical you can't beat that, good job Viagrow.

Nursery pots and saucers
Wanted to start some plants and what’s better than a few starter pots and saucers. These work as good as anything else that’s out there. The nursery pots have holes at the bottom that would help the excess water run off to the saucer. The pots are 5 gallons which is big enough for any decent size plant and the saucers are perfectly paired with them.

Great for getting things growing
We have built a little grow room in our garage so we can get a head start on our short New England growing season. These arrived a little late for this year but we will be prepping them this fall for starting our plants over the winter for next year. The pots are great size for starting some of our larger plants like our elephant ears. The pots have a lot of drainage and with the Saucers it will be easy to see when to add more water.

Durable
We grow lots of vegetables in our yard, and these 5 gallon pots do not disappoint. I use other various sizes of Viagrow pots, these are the same great quality. The material is US made HDPE; this type of plastic does not degrade, has no plasticizers, and it safe for food and the environment. HDPE is also very durable. I pick up full pots by the edge all the time, and never had one rip or tear. These 5 gallon pots will hold just under 1/2 cu.ft. of soil. They are great for somewhat larger plants that need to stay in pots, or for starting slower growing things like trees. They seem to last forever, they don't get sun damaged or deteriorate in the weather, so you can keep growing the same plant for years. These came with saucers for drainage. I find these useful for 'mobile' plants that I put on makeshift platforms, because it keeps the drain water from making a mess. The saucers are somewhat thin, and they do hold a full pot if you are careful, but they are still not fragile. Viagrow claims that they are 100% recyclable, but there is no indication of what type of plastic they are.

Perfect size for young plants.
These 1/2 gallon nursery pots are the perfect size for transplanting seedlings into them, which allows for the right amount of space for their roots to spread for maturing into larger plants. The plastic pot is sturdy with holes in the bottom for water drainage. The saucers are sturdy also, and have indented ridges which, in theory, allows water overflow to collect in the bottom of the saucer instead of allowing the pot to sit in water. However, the 'valleys' in the saucer are not big enough or deep enough - water will still collect around the pot's bottom. But not a big deal - just empty it after a few minutes of water settling. I had some date palm seedlings which were ready for transplanting, and these pots were perfect for the interim stage of the seedlings' life. Later they will need transplanting again to a larger pot and/ or to be placed in the ground for their permanent home.

Very good 1/2 gallon pots
This is a 5-pack set of 1/2 gallon pots that can be used for all your growing needs. The pots are well made yet very lightweight so they're sturdy when filled with soil. They came in grey color unlike the stock photo but that wasn't a problem for me. They have no plastic odor and come with more drainage holes than I expected. It comes with a 5-pack of 8 inch plastic saucers which is nice as they are clear and have a ribbed surface to provide friction and also to ensure adequate drainage from the pot. They worked well for me.

Very Handy
I am an avid gardener and I ise these to keep larger plants as well as shrubs and smaller trees in my greenhouse until planting. They come with drain holes in the bottom of the pot and they also come with a clear saucer to capture any excess water. This acts as a reservoir that the plant can use as it dries out. It also increases the time between waterings. This is really helpful if you have a lot of plants. The pots are a lottle thin but they are holding up well to the sun here in the south.

Half Gallon Nursery Pot
I like these pots. The half gallon size is the perfect size for transplanting small shrubs or larger ornamental plants. The saucer that comes with it is really handy too. Adding water to it lets you go longer between waterings. The plastic container is a little thin but adequate. I use these for transplanting cuttings or seedlings from my greenhouse. This is a good size pot to let the plant develop and strengthen before planting in your garden. I highly recommend them.
