Natural Smart Pot with Strap Handles – 15 gallon

A soft fabric pot in natural with two strong strap handles, so two people can carry it full, or you can drag it across the balcony. The fabric lets air reach the soil from every side. Roots stay cool, water drains on its own, and the plant grows a fuller root system than it would in a plastic pot of the same size.

Why we use fabric pots

• Roots breathe. When a root reaches the fabric wall it stops and branches, instead of circling. The result is a strong, healthy root ball.
• Hard to overwater. Extra water leaves through the fabric, so the soil never sits in water.
• Cooler soil in our heat. The fabric releases heat instead of holding it like black plastic does.
• Lasts for years. Empty it, rinse it, fold it, and use it again next season.

How to use it

Open the pot and fold the top edge out once so it stands well. Fill it with potting mix, not garden sand, and plant. Water until it comes out through the fabric. In summer, check the soil more often: fabric pots dry faster than plastic. Place it on a tray or tile if it sits on a balcony floor, because water passes through the base.
