Dirt Pot Flexible Portable Planter, Tan, 5 gal, with handles

A Breathable Fabric Planter for Container Growing, 5 Gal Tan with Handles

A solid-walled plastic pot lets roots circle the container wall once they reach it, which can lead to a dense, tangled root mass that struggles to take up water and nutrients efficiently. Dirt Pot is a flexible fabric planter built from breathable, BPA-free fabric that lets air reach the root zone at the container wall, which air-prunes root tips instead of letting them circle, and lets excess water drain through the fabric rather than pooling at the bottom.

This 5 gallon tan Dirt Pot measures 11"w x 10 1/4"h and is suited for medium potted plants. Reinforced handles make it easier to lift and move once filled.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this Dirt Pot?

This listing is for the 5 gallon Tan Dirt Pot, measuring 11"w x 10 1/4"h. It's sized for medium potted plants.

How does a fabric planter help root health?

The breathable fabric lets air reach the root zone at the container wall, which air-prunes root tips instead of letting them circle the way they would in a solid-walled plastic pot. This tends to produce a denser, more branched root mass rather than a tangled one.

Does this Dirt Pot have handles?

Yes, this size includes reinforced handles that make it easier to lift and move once filled. Check the no-handle version of this size if you prefer a simpler design.

Can I reuse this Dirt Pot for multiple seasons?

Yes, it's built to be reusable season after season rather than treated as a single-use container. Rinse and let it dry between plantings to keep the fabric in good condition.

How do I water a plant in a fabric planter?

Water as you would any container, checking that moisture reaches the full root zone. Because the fabric walls are free-draining, a fabric planter can dry out somewhat faster than a solid-walled pot of the same size, so more frequent watering may be needed in hot or dry conditions.
