BIODEGRADABLE GROW POT

Our biodegradable grow pots are made of 50% sphagnum peat, wood fiber and lime to adjust the pH. The peat content provides a combination of superior root penetration, good drainage and aeration whilst the wood fibers strengthen the pot.

Designed for easy transplant. They are 100% compostable and approved for organic production. Simply place the entire biodegradable pot into your planter and the roots of your plant will soon grow through and decompose the pot.

ECO-FRIENDLY ROOT POUCH

Our recycled & semi-degradable eco-friendly fabric bags are made from a mix all natural fibers and recycled plastic water bottles saved from landfills. The breathable fabric allows for your plants to stay cool in the summer and provides good drainage to avoid overwatering. They provide a healthy environment for your plant to grow by pruning the roots and creating dense, healthy root structures.

These fabric bags are washable and recyclable. It will take 1-2 years for the bags to semi degrade. Use your fabric bag as a decorative planter and remove from the bag when it is time to repot. This planter is designed by Root Pouch.

LIGHT

This plant can adapt to low light conditions but does better in bright indirect light. Too little light and the new leaves may bay narrower than the old leaves. Avoid direct light, too much may cause discoloration in the leaves to fade.

WATER

Prefers moist soil that does not become too soggy. Keep soil moist in growing seasons, but only water when the top 50% of the soil is dry in the fall and winter. This plant is sensitive to chemicals in the water and prefers filtered, room temperature water. If using tap water, poor the water the night before and allow for the fluoride to dissipate overnight before watering your plant.

TEMPERATURE

Ideal temperature is 70-90°F if possible.

AIR

High humidity is preferred but can also do well in basic household humidity if necessary.

GROWTH

This plant can grow up to 4' tall. Fertilizer is not necessary, but consider feeding your plant once a month in spring and summer. Use only half the recommend fertilizer for best results. Give this plant a rest in winter from any fertilizers. 

PETS
