Better Than Rocks will make your planters lighter and promote better drainage and superior plant health in containers of all shapes and sizes. Not only will you enjoy more beautiful and healthier plants, you can say goodbye to other messy drainage approaches such as rocks, aluminum cans, packing peanuts, and broken clay pot shards!

Better Than Rocks is available in three sizes of pre-cut squares. The sizes are 8" × 8", 10" × 10", 12" × 12" and they are sold in packs of two. A “Jumbo” is 16" × 96" and can be cut to fit many planters.  It is by far our most popular size. And at nearly 11 square feet of product, it is also the most economical purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Better Than Rocks 10" × 10" Twin Pack

What size planters work best with the 10" × 10" Twin Pack?

The 10" x 10" Twin Pack is ideal for 10 inch plant pots and other medium-size containers, both indoors and out. Use it in decorative planters, patio pots or larger houseplants.

Can I cut the 10" × 10" container drainage squares to fit other planter sizes?

Yes! The flexible mesh can be trimmed to fit any container. Use left over pieces in small pots or layer them for added drainage support. We recommend these gardening shears available at Fiskars' website.

How many squares should I use in a 10 inch pot?

One to two layers is usually enough for a 10 inch pot. For medium-sized outdoor planters, especially those used for annual flowers or seasonal plants, you’ll get the best results with two to four layers, filling roughly one-third of the container. For year-round plants or permanent planters, one layer is often enough to maintain drainage without taking up too much space for soil and roots.

How thick is each square?

Each square in the pack has a 1.5-inch profile, offering a lightweight but sturdy base that helps create an air pocket beneath the soil in the container for improved water flow and root health.

Why is the Better Than Rocks 10" × 10" Twin Pack size a customer favorite?

Container gardeners love this size because it's versatile, easy to work with, and ideal for a wide range of plant types and container and pot styles. Whether you’re updating outdoor planters or refreshing your favorite houseplant's container home, the 10" × 10" Twin Pack makes planter drainage simple and effective. Each 10" × 10" Twin Pack is made using five (5) recycled soda bottles.
