Smart Pots - Commercial Bulk Cases

Smart Pots Bulk Cases for Commercial Growing Operations

These commercial cases pack the original black Smart Pot fabric container in quantities sized for full rooms, greenhouses and nursery blocks. Seventeen sizes are offered, from 1-gallon pots at 900 per case up to 400-gallon beds at 10 per case. The fabric is the same patented aeration material Smart Pot has made in the USA since 1984. The manufacturer lists every container as lead and BPA free. When a root reaches the fabric wall, it stops growing in that direction instead of circling the container. The plant answers by branching fine feeder roots along the main root, so more of the media fills with active roots. The porous wall releases excess water, which helps prevent root rot from overwatering. Moisture moves through the fabric by capillarity, and the root zone gets air on every side. Smart Pot notes that a plastic pot can pass 120°F on its sun-facing side, while the aerated fabric keeps roots cooler. Empty containers fold flat, so a full case stores in far less space than the same count of rigid pots.

Choosing Sizes From a Bulk Fabric Pots Case

Small sizes from 1 to 3 gallons suit propagation, transplants and short veg cycles on benches. The 5 to 10 gallon cases cover most indoor flowering setups, where containers sit in trays or on a drip line. The 15 to 30 gallon sizes give larger plants room in greenhouses and long-season outdoor beds. From 45 gallons up, the containers work as portable raised beds for single large plants or several crops. The biggest beds are wide and low, standing between 20 and 24 inches tall. Fill the large beds in place, since a filled bed is far too heavy to move. Water slowly the first time so the media wets evenly instead of channeling down the sides. Set containers on a raised surface or tray so air reaches the bottom fabric and excess water can drain. Fabric dries faster than plastic, so check moisture more often in warm weather. Empty and rinse the containers between runs to reuse them for later crops.
