Speeding Up Botany Pot Growth

Fill Both Slots

The single biggest factor in Botany Pot speed is having the correct soil in the soil slot and the correct seed or sapling in the plant slot. An empty soil slot stops growth entirely. Match the soil to the plant so the pot can tick normally.

Use a Hopper Variant for Throughput

A Hopper Botany Pot does not make plants grow faster, but it removes the bottleneck of manually emptying the pot. Variants include Botany Pot hopper forms across every color and material, for example Black Hopper Botany Pot, Blue Hopper Botany Pot, Brick Hopper Botany Pot, Deepslate Brick Hopper Botany Pot, and End Stone Brick Hopper Botany Pot. Concrete and glazed hopper versions exist too, such as Black Concrete Hopper Botany Pot and Black Glazed Hopper Botany Pot. Route the hopper output into chests so the pot never backs up.

Stack Pots for Volume

Because each pot grows one plant, the practical way to increase yield is to place many pots in a row and feed them all with the same soil and seed. Use Waxed Botany Pot variants, like Brick Waxed Botany Pot or Black Glazed Waxed Botany Pot, if you want to lock a pot's configuration so it is not disturbed while you build around it.
