Regardless of where you are growing plants; whether outdoor or indoor, Fabric Grow Pots offer a very conducive environment not possible in plastic or metallic containers. The adequate air flow via the sidewalls of the fabric bag does immense wonders for the root system of any type of plants you desire to grow. One can purchase these fabric pots or better still make home-made grow bags from fabric. Here are some advantages of these fabric pots that have made many growers and by extension gardeners to switch from other types of grow bags such as plastic to fabric bags.

Fabric containers enhance air pruning of the root system and also prevents roots from circling. In the standard plastic grow pots, roots normally grow outward and hit the airtight impenetrable walls of the pot, leaving them stranded with nowhere to go. Henceforth, they begin spiraling on one another, choking each other and finally being root bound. Consequently, the plants become suffocated, stunted and thus yielding a small harvest. On the other hand, in fabric bags, the roots grow outward and on reaching the side, they become naturally pruned by light and air instead of growing downwards and circling.

The fabric pots also improve root structure and mass. When these roots become air pruned, new feeder roots shoot out which will result in increased root mass. This will yield a greater root matter which can uptake more water and nutrients. The end result is enhanced growth of the plants.
These pots also prevent over-watering. They provide perfect drainage on all the sides, therefore the roots don’t get over-watered and drown which is the major catalyst for pathogens and mold. Sufficient drainage is very necessary to prevent the latter.

These fabric pots can also be utilized in the hydro system. This is because water can flow in and out. It allows growers to make use of a soil-less medium in a hydrogen system without any form of threat. These bags or pots make gardening possible where the soil condition is poor.
Another advantage is that these bags are reusable and very easy to store. After making use of them to grow some plants, one can wash, fold and store in a dry and cool place for future reuse.

Fabric Grow Pots make gardening a simple task, whether indoor or outdoor. It has really proven that limited space cannot be a valid excuse for not trying out some farming. If you are planning carry out container gardening, you can try out fabric containers for great results.
