5L Square Blueberry Pot – Nursery Pot for Young Plants
The 5L square blueberry pot is built for rooted cuttings, liners and first-year bushes — UV-stabilized PP, 3 cm elevated feet and bottom drainage for healthy nursery roots.
The First Pot Every Berry Nursery Reaches For
Every commercial blueberry planting starts in the nursery. Naturally, that is where the 5L square blueberry pot earns its keep. First, it is built for rooted cuttings, young liners, and first-year bushes. Indeed, this compact square container gives seedlings just the right root volume. It is big enough to establish a strong root ball. But it is small enough to avoid the soggy, under-used substrate that wastes money in propagation.
It also holds 5 liters (1.3 gallons) of acidic mix. The rectangular top measures 22 × 15 cm (8.7 × 5.9 inches), and total height is 19.6 cm (7.7 inches). So it stays low and wide. The wide, low bush profile is the form factor propagators prefer for young berry plants. It is also stable on benches and easy to space. It is also simple to sleeve for shipping to your own fields or to retail customers.
Why Square Geometry Pays Off in Propagation
Indeed, nursery benches are expensive real estate. Square pots pack edge to edge with almost no wasted gap. So you fit far more young plants per square meter of bench. You also fit far more per truck when you move rooted stock to the field. That tight nesting is also why this small container ships in volume. A single 40HQ container holds up to 100,000 pieces (5,000 per pallet).
Thus, more pots per container means a lower landed cost. That number matters when you propagate hundreds of thousands of plants a season. It matters for both North and South American production blocks.
Root-Smart Design for Young Plants
Blueberry roots are shallow, fibrous, and highly sensitive to standing water. This 5L square blueberry pot combines elevated feet (3 cm) with a multi-hole drainage floor. Plus, the feet lift the base off the bench. So excess water exits freely, and air circulates underneath. In addition, internal guide ribs steer roots toward the open bottom instead of circling.
The result is clearly a well-branched, white-rooted plant. It transplants into the final 25L or 30L pot, or into the field, with minimal check. And there are no root-bound setbacks.
Built From the Same Commercial-Grade PP as Our Field Pots
We injection-mold these nursery pots from UV-stabilized, food-safe polypropylene (PP). It is the very same tough resin as our full-size field pots. Similarly, the black color warms young roots early. The pH-neutral resin also stays friendly to acidic peat and pine-bark mixes. And the thickened rim survives automated pot filling and bench handling season after season. Finally, custom colors, printed logos, and barcodes are available for OEM and private-label orders.
5L Square Blueberry Pot: Specifications and Loading
So here are the numbers growers plan around. The pot weighs just 180 g. It measures 22 × 15 × 19.6 cm, with 3 cm elevated feet. It ships 5,000 pieces per pallet. And a full 40HQ container takes 100,000 pieces (20 pallets). Every figure on this page is measured from production, not estimated.
Grow the Full Crop Cycle With One Supplier
Growers step plants up from the 5L square blueberry pot into the 7L or 10L square pot. That move happens in the second year. Then they move into the 25L or 30L square, or the round 25L/30L, for mature production. Every size also uses the same stacking discipline and ships on pallets. As always, we sell B2B by the pallet and container on FOB Ningbo terms. So just click Request a Quote with your quantity and destination port. We will reply with pricing, lead time, and a freight estimate. You can also pair it with our plant label tags and drip irrigation kits for a turnkey nursery setup.

What is the 5L square blueberry pot used for?
Rooted cuttings, young liners, and first-year bushes — the wide, low 22 × 15 cm profile is sized for propagation benches and sleeves cleanly when you ship young stock to fields or retail.
What is your highest-count container loading?
The 5L ships 100,000 pcs per 40HQ (5,000 per pallet) — our largest loading count, which keeps landed cost low for nurseries propagating hundreds of thousands of plants a season.
What size blueberry pot do I need — 25L or 30L?
Most commercial growers use 25L (6.5 gal) for standard mature bushes and 30L (7.8 gal) for vigorous varieties, older plants, or heavy substrates where you want extra root buffer. Square pots (RB-SG25L/SG30L) pack at the highest field density; round side-hole pots (RB-R025L-S) fit standard Ø38 cm nursery racks. The 5L/7L/10L squares carry young liners through propagation.
Are these pots UV-protected for outdoor use?
Yes. They are injection-molded from UV-stabilized, food-safe polypropylene (PP), designed for 3–5 seasons of outdoor exposure. The black color absorbs heat to warm the root zone. Frost-resistant and reinforced grades are available on request.
What is the difference between the square and round pots?
Square pots pack edge to edge with almost no gap, giving roughly 15–20% more plants per hectare — ideal for new high-density blocks. Round pots match traditional Ø38 cm nursery rack spacing and move smoothly on automated handling lines — ideal when your benches and equipment are already round-pot. Same PP grade, same B2B pallet programs.
What is the MOQ and how do I get pricing?
We sell B2B by the pallet and full container. Prices are not published because they depend on quantity, destination, color, and custom options. Click Request a Quote with your quantity and port — we reply with FOB pricing, lead time, and a freight/landed-cost estimate. Small trial orders are also accepted.
Can I order custom colors or my own logo?
Yes. Standard is black; custom colors and printed/branded pots are available for OEM and private-label orders. Black-and-white barcodes up to 3×5 cm are free; color barcodes and custom branding are quoted separately. Tell us your needs in the quote form.
Do you supply irrigation and accessories too?
Yes — we offer matching drip irrigation kits, plant label tags, berry support stakes, and hooks, so you can source pots and planting hardware in one shipment. Mention accessories in your quote request for a bundle price.
