Do I need to take off the mesh/net like thing that wraps around the pebbles? Or do I put the entire thing in the pot?

Yes the whole piece goes in the bottom of the pot. The mesh helps to keep any large materials from draining out of the pot or stopping up the drainage holes; the rest is to ensure the water drains the way it should.

are these rigid? or are they soft and flexible?

They are not rigid. I would not say they are soft. They are more like a plastic mesh with pebbles inside it. The mesh is somewhat stiff, but still can be "squished". Hope that helps.

Can these be used to provide drainage in pots without drainage holes?

No. This product consists of tiny marble-like round beads inside a mesh cover. Water is not absorbed by the beads. Water just passes through the mesh cover and then out through the pot’s drain hole. No drain hole = no water drainage.

what is the diameter of the disc?

I used the 5 inch size for pots that are 10-12 inches wide. I also used gravel in each pot,since drainage is always a problem for container gardens. (I believe they also have other sizes, but 5 inches worked best for me.)

All of the 4 plants we've used these in are thriving!

A bit expensive, but it is tough to argue with the results. Recommended.

Great insert for my hanging pots.

Used these for some hanging pots. Light weight so did not add weight. Keeps the soil from washing out

A treat for a big transplant

I have purchased these before and really like the ease of just putting in the bottom of the pot and adding soil etc. However, I am only able to use on a few select plant because of cost.

Great items for flower pots to prevent soil from just leaking out

I looked for these last year but was unable to find them. I am happy to see they're available again. They are much better then the mesh-type I purchased when I could not find these.

Ingenius product

What a brainy idea this was to come up with.I adore these!Makes re-potting plants one step easier and a little less messy.It will be interesting in the future to see if they can be reused after time into a different pot.A hint: make sure you move the little white tag out of the way so it doesn't cover up your draining hole.
