FAQs

What are the benefits of using Round Fabric Pots with Velcro Side over traditional pots?

Round Fabric Pots with Velcro Side offer several advantages over traditional pots, including air pruning of roots, better root zone aeration, prevention of overwatering, suitability for hydroponics, and portability. The Velcro side opening also allows for easy removal of the plant for transplant and pot reuse.

How does air pruning work in fabric pots?

When roots reach the wall of the fabric pot, they're exposed to air, which effectively stops their growth. This process, known as air pruning, prevents roots from becoming pot-bound and encourages the plant to grow new feeder roots instead, resulting in a dense, healthy root system.

How do fabric pots improve root zone aeration?

Fabric pots allow the movement of air from outside the pot, through the pot wall, and directly to the root zone. This provides oxygen to the roots from all sides, facilitating root respiration and allowing beneficial microbes to thrive.

Can fabric pots prevent overwatering?

Yes, fabric pots help prevent overwatering as they allow free drainage through the bottom and sides of the pot, making it nearly impossible to over water your plants.

Are Round Fabric Pots with Velcro Side suitable for hydroponic systems?

Yes, fabric pots are great for hydroponics. They can be top-watered or used in flood and drain (ebb & flow) systems, allowing nutrients to be absorbed through the pot on all sides.

How portable are fabric pots compared to traditional pots?

Fabric pots are very portable, just like traditional pots, and can be easily moved. Additionally, they come flat-packed, making them easy to transport and store when not in use.

How durable are Round Fabric Pots with Velcro Side?

The 5 & 10 Litre sized Round Fabric Pots use 300gsm fabric, which is thicker than many on the market. This makes them more durable and less prone to transpiration loss.

What are the results of using fabric pots compared to regular plastic pots?

At Aqua Gardening, we've found that plants grown in fabric pots tend to grow faster and healthier than those in regular pots. For example, our tomato plant in a fabric pot grew about 50% larger than the one in a traditional pot. Additionally, fabric pots can be washed and reused, making them an excellent choice for long-term use.
