Comparing Fabric Grow Bags vs. Plastic Pots
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.
