Fabric Pots (Various Sizes)

Description

As it’s name suggests, round fabric pots are made from a breathable fabric. They are made from 350gsm fabric which is much thicker than many on the market – making them more durable and less prone to transpiration loss.

Fabric Pot Durability and Re-use

Fabric Pots are breathable fabric plant containers “air prune” your plants’ roots when they reach the end of the container. The air root pruning process forces the roots to branch out with more fibrous feeder roots which are much more efficient in taking up water and nutrients. The very durable geotextile fabric is porous, allowing air into the root zone and provides great drainage creating a healthy environment for the roots.

Air Pruning Benefits

Fabric pots encourage horizontal and vertical roots, but unlike the case with conventional plastic pots, once the roots reach the wall of the fabric pot they are ‘air pruned’. The root effectively stops growing and will not grow round and round the inside of the pot (pot bound). The plants’ energy instead is focused on growing new feeder roots, creating a dense, healthy root system.

Root Zone Aeration with Breathable Pot Side Walls

Fabric pots allow the movement of air from outside the pot, through the pot wall, and directly to the root zone. Oxygen is able to reach the root zone from all sides enabling roots to breathe and beneficial microbes to thrive. When in direct sunlight, heat is not absorbed by plastic or terracotta which heats the plants root ball, causing sweating and stress to the plant. Instead the breath-ability of the fabric effectively cools the root ball in the same way evaporative cooling cools a house.

Fabric Pots Prevent Over Watering

Over watering is a major problem for all potted plants. Fabric pots allow free drainage through the bottom as well as the sides, making it nearly impossible to over water.

Great for Hydroponics

Fabric pots can be top watered, or used in a flood and drain (ebb & flow) system where nutrients can be absorbed through the pot on all sides.

Portability of Fabric Pots

Like traditional pots, fabric pots are very portable, and can be easily moved. Fabric pots come flat packed so you don’t have to juggle bundles of plastic pots or worry about them being damaged on the way to you. The larger size fabric pots (15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 & 90 Litre) have a wire rim that self supports the pot, holding the pot open, making it easier to add media etc. Fabric thickness: 350 g/m2
