The number of flowers in a flat depends on the size of the plants or pots and the type of flat used. Here are typical counts:
- A standard flat with 4-inch pots usually holds 18 plants.
- A flat with 2 1/4-inch pots generally contains 36 plants.
- Some flats, like the common "standard 1020" nursery flats, can hold about 50 plants.
- Other flats, such as Anderson flats or square molded flats, vary but often hold around 16 to 25 pots depending on pot size.
For example, a flat with 4-inch pots typically contains 18 flowers, while smaller pots in a flat can double that number to 36 flowers
. So, if you are referring to a typical flat of flowers with 4-inch pots, expect about 18 flowers per flat. If the pots are smaller (around 2 1/4 inches), you might have about 36 flowers per flat. The exact number can vary based on the flat type and plant size.
