FAQ
What formula does this use?
It uses the cylinder volume formula "V = ฯ ร radiusยฒ ร height", converting cmยณ to liters by dividing by 1000.
Will the actual amount of soil needed differ?
Since this doesn't account for the pot's exact shape (e.g. tapering toward the base) or drainage material, the actual amount needed may be somewhat less. Treat this as an estimate.
Can this be used for square or rectangular pots?
This tool assumes a cylindrical (round) pot. For a rectangular pot, calculate the volume directly as length ร width ร height.
