Let us find out more about j and their features: 

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT FABRIC POTS

They Offer Superior Root Systems: Fabric pots facilitate air pruning, which means the roots reach the wall and healthy roots replace old damaged roots. This makes the root systems more efficient and helps keep the roots healthy in the long run.
They Help with Temperature Control: Since fabric planter pots are isolated from the external environment, it is easier to regulate temperature control. This helps provide the required temperature and water and also helps avoid over watering.
Better Drainage System: Fabric potshave a better drainage system compared to other materials used for pot saucers. This helps the sustained development of the roots.
They are More Sustainable: Fabric planter pots are more sustainable than other types of pots for two reasons. They are easy to manufacture and the material is more environment-friendly. It outlasts plastic containers and is recyclable too. 

HOW CAN I USE FABRIC POTS FOR GARDENING?

Before using fabric pots, it is important to know the ratio-proportion of the soil mixture to encourage better growth of plants. By ensuring the correct ratio, you can use the same soil mixture just by adding a small percentage of new compost.

A good ratio would be reserving one-third of the soil (33%) for each – compost mixture, moss and vermiculite. This helps you retain moisture in the most efficient way and can help even when there is over drainage or if you miss out on watering the plants.  

WATERING SYSTEMS FOR FABRIC POTS

You can use either a pipe drip or self-water the plants. Using a pipe drip ensures a constant flow of water, and the speed can also be regulated. This helps, especially when you are unable to regularly manage the watering. Self-watering is best if you are regularly monitoring your fabric pot saucer.  

IDEAL FABRIC POT SIZE

An ideal fabric planter pot size should be anywhere between 3 and 5 gallons. A smaller size is ideal for single plants such as home-use spices, while medium-sized pots are best for vegetables and fruit such as tomatoes and potatoes. Larger fabric potsare ideal for whole gardens with multiple plants and bigger green vegetables.
