Grow Bags: the Pros and Cons

Grow bags for plants have many pros and cons. We outline each one so you can decide if they're a good fit for your garden or outdoor space.

Fabric grow bags feature air pruning because when roots meet the edge of the fabric pot, they feel the dry soil exposed to the air. At this point, they know they've hit the limit of growth. The roots become air pruned, which is essential for growing healthy plants in containers. You also get more fibrous roots when you air trim. A fibrous root system (many small root tips) allows the plant to absorb more nutrients and water.
