No problem, we have compiled here everything you need to know about them.
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.
Require minimal storage space and are durable
- Traditional planters are heavy, prone to breakage and occupy much more space for storage when not in use.
- Fabric grow bags are reusable, washable, durable and can easily be folded up and stored using minimal space each season. They are very adaptable and are a perfect solution for those who have limited space or poor soil conditions. They ensure that maximum harvest can be enjoyed in minimal space.
Are lightweight and versatile
- Plastic pots are difficult to move from one location to another and have V shape which reduces their holding capacity.
- Fabric grow bags are lightweight and have sturdy handles, thus they can be easily moved to different locations. They are ideal for growing several plants in Indian weather conditions. Their straight shape increases their holding capacity and they are available in various sizes which make them versatile enough to accommodate various indoor and outdoor plants including fruits and vegetables.
Enhance the beauty of the home garden
- Traditional plastic pots are common, breakable and not eco-friendly.
- Fabric grow bags are unique, unbreakable, eco-friendly and impart an elegant look to your home garden.
