Root Pouch Fabric Grow Bag with Handles - 5 Gallon
The Root Pouch Fabric Grow Bag with Handles - 5 Gallon is a reusable fabric planting container that provides excellent drainage, improved root-zone aeration, and convenient portability for indoor and outdoor growing.
Made from a durable fabric blend incorporating recycled plastic water bottles and natural fibers, the Root Pouch offers a breathable alternative to traditional rigid plastic pots. Its porous construction encourages natural root pruning when used above ground, helping reduce excessive root circling while supporting the development of a more fibrous root system.
Integrated handles make the container easier to reposition, while the 5 US gal / 18.93 L capacity provides a versatile size for vegetables, flowering plants, herbs, greenhouse crops, and container gardening.

Promotes Healthy Root Development
Traditional rigid pots can cause roots to grow along the container wall and circle around the root ball.
The breathable fabric of a Root Pouch allows air to reach the outer root zone. When roots reach the fabric wall above ground, natural air pruning can help slow the growth of the root tip and encourage additional lateral root development.
This can help create a more fibrous and evenly distributed root system.
Excellent Drainage and Aeration
The porous fabric allows excess irrigation water to drain naturally through the container while helping oxygen reach the growing medium.
Improved aeration can create a healthier root-zone environment and help reduce conditions associated with overly saturated growing media.
Because fabric pots generally dry faster than rigid plastic containers, growers should monitor moisture levels and adjust irrigation frequency as required.

How to Use the Root Pouch 5 Gallon Grow Bag
Open the Root Pouch fully and place it on a stable, level growing surface.
Fill the container with your preferred soil, coco, or compatible soilless growing medium.
Position the plant in the centre and fill around the root ball with additional growing medium.
Water thoroughly and allow excess moisture to drain naturally through the fabric.
Monitor moisture levels regularly because breathable fabric containers may dry more quickly than rigid plastic pots.
Use the integrated handles when repositioning the container, and support the bottom when the pouch is particularly heavy or saturated.
