We keep ours in a 1020 tray to give them a little bit of support, but other than that, we don’t treat them any differently from any other pot (and really that isn’t different either). You can top or bottom water them, move them around, fertilize, handle them—everything you’d do with a tray, peat pod, or pot! We wouldn’t recommend growing for a whole season in a newspaper pot, but they last plenty long enough to stand up through a course of seedling care.

We’re going to show you how to make newspaper pots, why they are one of our favorite methods for starting seeds, plus answer all of your questions. Let’s dive in! Why should I use these for seed starting? When you keep germinating seeds moist and warm, mold naturally shows up. In general, a little bit of mold is nothing to worry about in your seedlings as long as the plants still seem strong and healthy. In fact, some minor mold growth can be a good sign of a robust colony of microorganisms in your soil! ECO-FRIENDLY – No waste. No harm. No repotting like with the plastic pots. Simply make a biodegradable paper pot and plant the whole pot straight into the ground! Above all since the finished paper pot is compostable, it is perfect for growing from seed and to not disturb the seedlings roots! REFINED DESIGN – e-pots have refined the design and made the wood seed starting pot maker super comfortable to use without sharp edges – in conclusion it has greater quality than other pot makers. Cut a strip of newspaper approximately 3” x 10” in length. It doesn’t have to be exact. A slightly longer strip will give you a sturdier pot.Firstly just make pots using scrap paper, secondly add your seeds or plugs and thirdly enjoy without harming the environment. Plus, the premium seedling plant pot maker is made of durable wood and so our tool has no sharp edges being nicely curved and professionally finished so it’s extremely enjoyable to make pots without getting tired. But, of course, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, and we haven’t seen any more mold growth with newspaper pots than we have with other kinds of seed starting methods—in fact, we’ve seen noticeably less mold growth with newspaper pots than we’ve seen with plastic pots in the past. Probably because the newspaper is so breathable! Here’s another DIY tutorial which shows you how to make paper plant pots using a brown paper bag. The idea is here. 10. Paper Pot Seed Cups
