Tan Smart Pots with Handles, Commercial Bulk Cases, 5 to 20 Gallon

Tan Smart Pots With Handles, Commercial Bulk Cases

Smart Pot builds its fabric containers for growers who want roots that breathe, and these are the natural tan version with handles. This listing sells them by the case for commercial rooms, nurseries and farms filling hundreds of containers at once. The walls are a porous geotextile fabric that lets air reach the growing media and the roots. Excess water drains through the fabric instead of pooling at the bottom of the pot. When roots reach the wall, they meet air and stop growing in that direction, a process called air pruning. The plant responds by branching new feeder roots throughout the media instead of circling the pot. A fibrous, well-distributed root mass takes up water and nutrients from the whole container. The natural tan color fits in on patios, in outdoor beds and under greenhouse cover. Smart Pot makes these containers in the USA. The fabric has been tested and verified free of BPA and lead. Sizes of 10 gallons and under carry cut-out handles, while the 15 and 20 gallon pots have sewn-on strap handles.

Filling a Room With Fabric Pots With Handles

Bulk cases make sense when a whole room or field gets planted on the same day. Unfold the pots and set them out on the bench, floor or field rows before filling. Fill each one with media to about an inch below the rim, then water lightly to settle it. Top off any pots that sink before transplanting. Use the handles to move filled pots into position, lifting with both hands on the larger strap-handle sizes. Space pots so air can move around the sides, since the fabric breathes through every wall. Fabric pots dry out faster than solid plastic, so check moisture more often in the first weeks. Drip irrigation or a saucer under each pot helps keep watering consistent. Between crops, empty the media and knock out the old roots. Rinse or soak the pots, let them dry fully, and stack them flat for storage. With care, the same pots go back into service for many cycles.
