Characteristics of elongated square pots
The elongated square pots are made of very strong and durable plastic . The shape makes it much easier for you to grow the cuttings in an elongated shape and thus prevent them from escaping wide. The design is ideal for planting a plant.
How and why to use an elongated square pot?
Plant cuttings are very weak at first , so no matter what you do, they won't hold much weight until they reach a better size. When you use a very large pot with a different shape, you lose something very valuable, substrate and time. For this reason, elongated pots are ideal for your small cuttings. Planting them in this space gives them an elongated and thin shape, with almost no branches , so you can place a larger number of plants in the same space as always without losing substrate, since it will be used by several plants at the same time. Additionally, it can be used for growth , as more plants can be grown in a small space within a grow tent while others are flowering in the flowering room.
