    We are excited to welcome you to our MANTS virtual booth; things are crazy this year for all of us and we are sad we can’t do this in person.  It’s great each year to say hello to our customers and meet new growers!

    We would really like to tell you more about ourselves, although the best way to hear about us is from some of our customers such as J. Frank Schmidt, Oregon Pride and Kankakee to mention a few. We have created a Résumé to help share some of these videos and studies, make sure to check it out in our virtual booth!


    In addition, we’ve included some videos – talking about the differences in Root Pouch fabrics over other brands. 

    We realize you have many choices out there in fabric bag companies and may wonder,

    “Is there any real difference in different grow bags?”

    The answer is, 

    ABSOLUTELY!

    Think of a face mask, a dust mask from the hardware store and a medical N95 mask look the same but they are definitely different. Just because other fabric bags look similar to Root Pouch, none of them perform like Root Pouch. We offer a full line of grow bags for growing indoor, in-ground and above ground and they are not the same bag.

    We are offering a show special: all orders booked will receive free freight.

    We will also be hosting some live Q&A sessions during the event. 

    Let us know if you would like a quote or samples.  We look forward to working together. Stay safe!

    What are Root Pouch Pots made of?

    Root Pouch degradable plant pots are made of PET derived from recycled plastic water bottles.
    This material is melted back to a sterile liquid state then spun into fibers. Because the plastic is re-melted it is once again sterile making it a great choice for growing plants for human consumption. Root Pouch does not use new petroleum as some other fabric companies do. So Root Pouch does not contain any toxins and it is BPA free and UV resistant.

    What makes Root Pouch Plant Pots a more sustainable choice?

    Root Pouch is made from recycled plastic water bottles. These water bottles were destined to end up in landfills. This not only prevents the water bottles from ending up in oceans and the environment, but also eliminates the need to make additional pots or bags that are petroleum based using natural resources.

    What makes Root Pouch the best choice for healthier plants?

    Root Pouch fabric does not simply hold dirt it provides a healthier root environment.

    • The fabric is breathable allowing oxygen to reach the roots.

    • The fabric has superior insulation protecting the roots from heat and cold.

    • The fabric weave traps the root tips preventing circling and girdling of the roots, encouraging the plant to produce a dense lateral root structure.

    • The fabric disperses the suns rays preventing root tip damage from direct sunlight.

    • Less damage from winds - the bags conform to the ground and there is no taper to the pot so there is less blow over.

    Easier for shipping

    • The Root Pouch bags are soft enough to minimize damage during shipping, allowing stacking without trunk guards.

    • The bags also will nestle in between one another when California stacked, creating a tighter load and less damage to plants.

  • Root Pouch - Black Line
    THICKEST
    Semi-degradable fabric, durable for 4-5 seasons.

    Recommended use:
    • In-ground
    • Pot-in-pot
    • Above ground

    Made from recycled plastic water bottles and natural fibers.
    Available in sizes #1 to #65 with or without handles...

  • Root Pouch Black Line - our most durable semi-degradable natural fiber blended fabric.

    Why are natural fibers a must for in-ground growing?

    The natural fibers will draw water towards the bag from surrounding soil. The natural fibers also absorb and retain the water diminishing the need for supplemental watering. Fabrics without a natural fiber blend cannot do this.

    Another advantage of Root Pouch fabric over other fabric bags for in-ground growing is Root Pouch does not air prune as other fabric bags do, rather it prunes by entrapment. Air pruning fabrics allow roots to squeeze through the fabric looking for air. Root Pouch traps the root tips creating a dense fibrous root structure while containing roots in the bag. It is best for in-ground applications.

    “Whether using Root Pouch for in-ground or above ground growing,

    Root Pouch offers the most advanced root pruning technology available”

    What other advantages are there to a natural fiber blended fabric?

    When using in-ground, the natural fibers draw water towards the bag from surrounding soil. In addition, there are superior thermal capabilities of natural fibers. When used in-ground, pot in pot and also above ground
    applications, natural fibers help keep the roots warmer in winter and cooler in summer providing a more consistent temperature zone evenly around the roots.

  • Root Pouch Charcoal One & Done Line - Natural fiber blend - Specifically designed for medicinal grow rooms - hydroponic commercial growing
