What are Fabric Grow Bags?
They are unique lightweight planters made from breathable and recycled fabric. They are ideal for growing various plants such as succulents, indoor plants as well as outdoor plants such as herbs, flowers, vegetables and fruits.Why are they so popular?
Here are some of the key features of Fabric Grow Bags that overcome the limitations of other regular planters!Prevent root circling and encourage root pruning
- When the plant roots reach the edge of a plastic pot, they continue growing in search of more water and nutrients and begin encircling the pot. The roots thus become constricted leading to less water and nutrient intake.
- Fabric grow bags help to alleviate this issue because as the roots meet the edges of the fabric bag, they sense the drier soil that is exposed to the air. At this point, they know they have reached their growth limit. The roots become “air pruned” which prevents their overgrowth.
Provide superior drainage and aeration
- Majority of the plants die due to overwatering as plastic containers only have drainage holes at the bottom but do not have breathable walls due to which excess water is not able to drain out efficiently.
- Grow bags are made of breathable fabric which helps in draining out excess water, thus preventing the plant from root rot due to overwatering. They are also better aerated than traditional plastic pots.
Do not trap heat
- During the scorching heat of summer and in direct sunlight, plastic pots can get quite hot. Since they are not breathable, they trap all the heat which is harmful for plants.
- Fabric grow bags regulate temperature due to their breathable quality. Excess heat can escape from all sides of the grow bag.
