Unit price perEstimated delivery between November 01 and November 03.
The RootMASS 1L Propagation Fabric Pot is a compact, breathable container designed for young plants, rooted cuttings and early-stage propagation. Its tall fabric construction provides useful root depth within a small footprint, while the porous sides encourage natural air pruning, free drainage and increased aeration around the developing root system.
At just 1 litre, this is a useful starting size for plants that have progressed beyond plugs or small propagation cells but are not yet ready for a larger container. The narrow format also allows multiple plants to be positioned efficiently together during early development.
Unlike a rigid plastic pot, the breathable RootMASS fabric allows air to reach the outer edge of the growing medium. This changes the way roots develop within the container and helps reduce the continuous root circling that can occur against solid pot walls.
Why choose the RootMASS 1L Propagation Fabric Pot?
- 1 litre capacity - compact growing volume for young plants and rooted cuttings.
- Tall propagation format - provides useful rooting depth without occupying excessive growing space.
- Breathable fabric construction - allows air to reach the perimeter of the growing medium.
- Natural air pruning - encourages root branching rather than continuous circling around a rigid pot wall.
- Free draining - excess irrigation water can pass through the porous fabric.
- Root-zone aeration - increased air exchange around the substrate supports an aerated growing environment.
- Space-efficient footprint - useful when establishing multiple young plants together.
- Lightweight and flexible - easy to handle and compact to store when empty.
- Reusable - can be cleaned, dried and reused where its condition remains suitable.
- Versatile substrate compatibility - suitable for compost, soil, coco and other appropriate growing media.
Compact fabric pot for propagation & early growth
The 1L RootMASS is particularly useful for staged plant production. Once a seedling or cutting has established sufficiently in its initial propagation environment, moving into a 1 litre container gives the developing root system additional space without immediately surrounding it with a large volume of growing medium.
The tall profile provides good rooting depth while keeping the overall footprint compact. This makes the pot suitable for propagation areas, nursery production and any application where efficient use of space is important.
Encourages a fibrous root system through air pruning
Roots growing inside a conventional rigid pot eventually reach an impermeable wall. They can then continue growing along the inside edge of the container, producing long circling roots.
RootMASS fabric provides a breathable boundary instead. When an actively growing root reaches the aerated edge of the growing medium, continued extension at the root tip is naturally restricted. This encourages additional lateral roots to develop further back within the root system.
The result is a more highly branched root structure that makes use of the available growing medium rather than simply following the perimeter of the container.
Excellent drainage & root-zone aeration
Fabric containers provide a large porous surface through which excess moisture can move. Rather than depending only on drainage holes in the base, water can pass through the fabric around the container.
The same breathable construction increases air exchange around the root zone. This makes RootMASS pots particularly useful where a freely draining and well-aerated growing environment is required.
Because moisture can evaporate through the fabric, watering requirements may differ from an equivalent rigid pot. Check the growing medium regularly and adjust irrigation to suit the crop, substrate and environmental conditions.
Suitable for soil, compost & coco
The RootMASS 1L Fabric Pot can be used with a wide range of suitable growing media, including potting compost, soil-based mixes and coco-based substrates.
Fill the pot evenly without heavily compressing the substrate. Maintaining suitable pore space within the growing medium complements the drainage and aeration provided by the breathable fabric.
Ideal for staged potting-on
A 1 litre fabric pot provides a useful intermediate stage in a progressive potting system. Plants can establish within the compact root volume before being transferred to a larger RootMASS or other suitable finishing container as their requirements increase.
Potting-on should be based on the development of the individual plant and its root system rather than a fixed timetable. Avoid leaving rapidly growing plants in a container once substantially more root volume is required.

RootMASS 1L Propagation Fabric Pot FAQs
Why is the 1L RootMASS pot tall and narrow?
The tall format provides useful rooting depth while keeping the footprint compact, allowing multiple young plants to be positioned efficiently together.
What is air pruning?
Air pruning occurs when actively growing roots reach the breathable outer edge of the pot. Extension at the root tip is naturally restricted, encouraging additional lateral root development within the growing medium.
Can I use the RootMASS 1L pot for rooted cuttings?
Yes. It provides a useful next-stage container for suitably established rooted cuttings that require more growing-medium volume than a small propagation cell or plug.
Can I grow in coco with this fabric pot?
Yes. The RootMASS 1L can be used with suitable coco-based substrates as well as compost, soil-based mixes and other appropriate container-growing media.
Does the fabric need drainage holes?
No. The porous fabric itself allows excess irrigation water to drain through the container. Position the pot where run-off can drain or be collected appropriately.
When should I move a plant into a larger pot?
Pot on when the plant is sufficiently established and its root system requires additional growing-medium volume. The correct timing depends on the crop, growth rate and growing conditions rather than a fixed schedule.
Can RootMASS fabric pots be reused?
Yes. Provided the fabric remains in good condition, the pot can be emptied, cleaned, allowed to dry thoroughly and reused.
Do fabric pots dry faster than plastic pots?
They can. Moisture can move and evaporate through the breathable sides, so check the substrate regularly rather than following a watering schedule intended for rigid plastic containers.
Are the 1L pots easy to store?
Yes. The flexible construction allows empty pots to fold down, making them compact to store and transport compared with rigid containers.
