Smart Pot Fabric Pots are soft-sided aeration containers, designed to enhance the root structure of your plants by allowing maximum oxygen flow to the root ball. Plants growing in fabric pots have been scientifically proven through university studies to create an intensely branched rooting structure. Healthy roots result in more leafage and flowers, stronger resistance to disease and pests, as well as improving growth rate due to higher nutrient uptake. Additionally, the aeration effect will also help keep temperatures down, lowering stress levels on the plant. Typically, cloth pots will last between 4 and 6 growing seasons depending on environmental conditions. To clean, simply allow them to dry and shake out the dirt. Smart Pots are machine washable. Available in a range of sizes from 1 gallon to 25 gallon.
