VIVOSUN5-Pack 5 Gallon Grow Bags Heavy Duty 300G Thickened Nonwoven Plant Fabric Pots with Handles

I have been growing almost all of our veggies and herbs in our basement under lights for almost 5 years, an initially started many of the veggie greens in bussing tubs. Within a couple of years, I had a 6-foot freezer full of veggie, and decided to keep only a couple of plants from each tub for use in salads and occasion harvests for freezing. Little did I know that some of these plants get huge when allowed to grow for over 3 years.One plant in particular is my collard greens plant. I initially put it into a 10 gallon pot which it quickly outgrew. Then I transplanted it into a 15 gallon plastic pot which it also outgrew. I was having to water it every other day with 3 gallons of water, and I knew it was again root bound.I decided to pot it up into a 25 gallon pot, but the plastic pots of this size were running over $100 for one pot. When I found these grow bags I decided to give them a try. Since I grow my plants indoors, I need to have all pots in saucers and the larger pots need to be on a roller base so I can move them. Since these grow bags are almost 22" at the base, I had to find saucers at least 25-26" interior diameter and a roller base that would work for a saucer of this size. Fortunately, I did find both on Amazon, and got my collard greens plant, affectionately named Seymour, moved to its new home. My next challenge will be transplanting my 3' x 3' rosemary plant moved to one of these grow bags.I have to admit I was a bit intimidated on having to move a large plant to a flexible cloth pot. As I put soil into the grow bag the sides of the bag held up. When I got the plant into the bag and filled it with soil, the grow bag held up and looks like it will work fine.Since this is my first experience with a grow bag, I do have some reservations. Since watering of the plant moistens the grow bag, I wonder if it will eventually grow algae. Should the plant ever expire, I don't know how cleanable this grow bag will be for future use. I don't think I would use the smaller versions of these grow bags since the plastic pots I have are reusable and easy to clean. Anything moved to these large grow bags will have a permanent home in them.UPDATE 06/25/23:The second picture shown is my Collard plant after I harvested it and moved it to this cloth pot. The first picture is the same plant 12 days later. Looks like my Collard plant, we lovingly name Seymour, is happy. I would also like to mention that I had to move this plant after I transplanted it and had watered it. Although 25 gallons of wet soil would not be something one person could lift and move, my husband and I were able to do it using the attached handles. Since the handles didn't break or detach with this much weight, I'm sure the handles be be very strong on the smaller pots.UPDATE 08/03/23:As mentioned previously, I am new to these cloth pots, and have noticed an interesting benefit of using them. If you grow plants indoors, you know that it can be difficult to know when to water them, especially for the plants in larger pots. You can use a moisture meter, but these aren't always accurate and can measure moisture only at the surface of the soil. If the meter show the soil is dry, most of the time you need to water, but what do you do if it measures moist? You can stick your finger in the soils to determine whether the first couple of inches is dry, but what do you do if the roots at the top of the soil are solid and you can't do the finger test? Using most tests for moisture, you can only check the surface soil. This doesn't help much if you have a large plant in a 25 gallon pot such as the ones I have. It does help to know how deep the roots of your plants go and the moisture requirements of your plants. I do know that my large rosemary plant and my collard greens plant go deep into the soil. There is no way to measure the amount of moisture in these deep pots. What I have noticed is that these cloth pots feel cool when the soil is moist deep into the pot. This helps to regulate watering of the rosemary plant that needs to dry out a bit before watering. This also helps with watering requirement of the large collard greens plant that requires more moisture than the rosemary plant. The collard greens plant does not feel cool when it needs watering.Since these grow bags are a new experience for me, I will update this review as I learn more about them. I hope this review was helpful for you.

I purchased a set of (5) 30 Gallon pots. I actually found these by accident when I was searching Amazon for a regular black plastic pots. As always the local box store sold them way too expensive. It was the picture of other VERIFIED PURCHASERS on Amazon that convinced me to give them a try.Have only had them for about three weeks and no negative comments. The picture is of a Pineapple plant being grown in the Fabric pot. Pineapple plants do not require much water and air temperature should be around 72 degrees. I like the fact that the roots will grow to the outer edges as well and will have air circulating to them through the fabric pot. Maybe no much but more-so if it were a plastic pot.It has been three weeks since I transferred my plant to the new pot as it was suffering from over watering in the plastic pot it was in. Since I moved it to the Fabric Pot, the yellow on the leaves (an indicator of too much water or root rot) has gone away. No over watering on Fabric pots. So far very happy! I will purchase more fabric pots and will be looking at the 15 gallon ones.Update 5/17/20So this week I attempted to move one of my 30 gallon pots with full soil and a fully grown Pineapple plant in it onto a 5" Plastic pallet so that the fabric pot gets air circulation not only on the sides but from underneath as well and keep the pot from sitting on the hot concrete. I grabbed the pot from one handle and I tried to JERK Lift it onto the pallet and created a 9 in tear on the the handle I grabbed it from.Let me be clear, this is not in anyway a knock on the fabric pot and it was my fault. I was merely being a "Guy" about the whole thing and not looking for any help to lift it from both sides. The pineapple plant is prickly so I was just trying to get underneath it and get it on the pallet.So here is the "GOOD NEWS". I had a spare same size fabric pot laying around, so what did I do. I carefully Double-Bagged the existing ripped pot into a newer fabric pot and I WAS BACK IN BUSINESS. E.g. one fabric pot into another. Try doing that with a cracked plastic pot. Lesson learned, call my wife next time to come help me :)I love this stuff and can't wait to get my hands on the 15 gallon ones. Last time I checked they were out of stock. Stay tuned for more lovely pineapple fabric grown pics.Update 6/22/20Finally have some good pics using the Fabric Pot Bags with full grown Pineapple plants in them. The bags must be a plus, as my wife and I are not experienced growers. Plastic pallets below Fabric Grow pots help keep them off the hot concrete and avoid having the bag rot due the weather elements.Pic 1 - A harvested Pineapple from a Fabric Grow Bag Pot, YUM !Pic 2 - Original Pineapple that has been in fabric pot since we purchased the grow pot bagsPic 3 - Update from 9/22Pic 4 - Update from 9/22Pic 5 - Pineapple in blossom, YUMPic 6 - Fully grown pineapple plants in 30 gallon grow bagsPic 7 - Side pic of pallet with another 30 gallon grow bagAll in all we have three active 30 gallon bags and looking forward to more. These bags are great.Recommend them highly!Update - 9/22/20- Cannot get enough of these pots. Take a look at the 9/22 pics. I cannot control the order of them when Amazon posts them but I wrote 9/22 on the image. One pineapple from these pots at about 14 inches tall. HUGEEEE. This was the double bagged pot that broke on me (my fault) months ago but going strong.Thanks again

This product is almost the only beige color in the 30 gallons, and it plays a very important role in lowering the temperature of the soil in the pot when used outdoors. Also, if you hold the fabric pot and shine it in the sun, you can see how breathable this fabric pot is. After 2 years of use, durability has been proven.

What I received in comparison to what I expected are two different things. Received are wide short bags. Expected was something closer to the pictures. Think tuna can and can of beans. I got tuna cans.I just put tomato seedlings in. Past experience digging up the end of season plants, I needed something taller.The sizes I got are 15 & 7 gallon. My eyeballing is saying 15 maybe not. I’ll post pictures next to a 5 gallon bucket, you judge it yourself.My original order was lost so I was already behind schedule so I’m using them and hoping for the best. I can say they feel like they’re made well.

Came early in the afternoon the next day, so I was able to take advantage of the daylight and get my antique washing machine planted with trailing & upright plants. The size was PERFECT to fit inside the "tub" --- material heavy duty. Very pleased with them, wouldn't hesitate to purchase other sizes to use!

🍅🌱these are the perfect size for my tomatoes this year. The material feels very sturdy and they drain to manage soil moisture—it has been raining a LOT and I don’t have to worry.

So far so good. I like how they have handles and is easy to move if need be. This is my first time using this type of planter so I’ll have a better review at the end of the season. But at first handling, they are easy to move around and seem to be made of decent quality

Good Grow Bag. I went with 2 gal but probably should have gone a little larger.
