The RootMASS 2L Propagation Fabric Pot is a compact breathable container designed for young plants, rooted cuttings and early-stage growing. Its porous fabric construction encourages natural root pruning, excellent drainage and increased aeration around the root zone, providing a practical alternative to conventional rigid propagation pots.

The tall, narrow 2 litre format provides useful root depth while keeping the overall footprint compact. This makes it particularly useful where large numbers of young plants need to be established efficiently before progressing into larger containers.

RootMASS fabric pots encourage roots to branch throughout the growing medium rather than continuously circling against a solid container wall. The flexible construction is also lightweight and easy to store when not in use.

Why choose the RootMASS 2L Propagation Fabric Pot?

  • 2 litre capacity - ideal for young plants and propagation-stage growing.
  • Tall propagation format - provides useful root depth while maintaining a compact footprint.
  • Breathable fabric construction - allows air to reach the outer root zone.
  • Encourages natural air pruning - helps prevent roots continuously circling the inside of a conventional pot.
  • Promotes root branching - encourages development of a denser, more fibrous root system.
  • Excellent drainage - porous fabric allows excess irrigation water to pass through the container.
  • Improved aeration - increased air exchange around the substrate helps maintain an aerated root environment.
  • Space efficient - narrow format allows multiple pots to be positioned together efficiently.
  • Flexible and lightweight - easy to handle and compact to store when empty.
  • Suitable for multiple growing media - compatible with soil, compost, coco and other suitable substrates.

Designed for propagation & young plants

The RootMASS 2L is particularly useful as an early-stage container between initial propagation and a larger finishing pot. It provides substantially more root volume than a small plug or propagation cell while avoiding the unnecessary substrate volume of moving a young plant directly into a large container.

Its tall profile encourages roots to explore a useful depth of growing medium, while the breathable walls provide air contact around the perimeter of the root zone.

Once the plant has established a strong root system, it can be moved into an appropriately sized larger container according to the requirements of the crop.

How RootMASS air pruning works

Roots growing inside a conventional rigid plastic pot eventually reach an impermeable wall. Unable to grow through it, they can begin following the inside edge of the container and form circling roots.

RootMASS uses breathable fabric instead. When actively growing root tips reach the aerated outer edge of the growing medium, their continued extension is naturally restricted. The plant responds by developing additional lateral roots further back within the root system.

This process encourages a more highly branched root mass capable of exploring the available growing medium.

Free drainage & root-zone aeration

The porous fabric provides a much larger permeable surface than a conventional plastic container with drainage holes only in the base. Excess irrigation water can move through the fabric while air can reach the growing medium around the sides of the pot.

This combination makes RootMASS particularly useful where growers want a well-aerated, freely draining root environment.

Because moisture can evaporate through the sides, fabric pots can dry differently from rigid containers. Irrigation frequency should therefore be based on the actual moisture content of the growing medium, plant size and environmental conditions.

Suitable for soil, compost & coco

The RootMASS 2L Propagation Fabric Pot can be used with a wide variety of suitable growing media, including potting compost, soil-based mixes and coco-based substrates.

When filling the pot, distribute the substrate evenly and avoid excessive compaction. Maintaining suitable pore space within the growing medium complements the drainage and aeration provided by the fabric container.

Suitable for hand watering & irrigation systems

RootMASS fabric pots can be used in conventional hand-watered container growing as well as suitable irrigation systems. Their porous construction allows water to move through the fabric, making them compatible with applications where the growing medium is irrigated from above or allowed to take up moisture from below.

Irrigation frequency and duration should always be matched to the growing medium, crop and particular system being used.

RootMASS 2L Propagation Fabric Pot FAQs

What is the RootMASS 2L Fabric Pot designed for?

Its compact, tall format makes it particularly suitable for young plants, rooted cuttings and early-stage growing before plants are moved into larger containers.

What capacity is this RootMASS pot?

This model has a nominal growing-medium capacity of 2 litres.

Why use a fabric pot for propagation?

The breathable fabric provides drainage and root-zone aeration while encouraging natural root pruning. This helps young plants develop a branched root structure rather than roots simply following a rigid container wall.

What is root air pruning?

Air pruning occurs when an actively growing root reaches the aerated edge of a fabric pot. Extension at the root tip is restricted, encouraging further lateral root development within the growing medium.

Can I use coco in the RootMASS 2L pot?

Yes. RootMASS fabric pots can be used with suitable coco-based substrates as well as compost, soil-based mixes and other appropriate container-growing media.

Does the fabric pot need drainage holes?

No. The porous fabric itself allows excess irrigation water to drain through the container. It should still be positioned where run-off can escape or be collected appropriately.

Can the 2L RootMASS pot be used with an irrigation system?

Yes. Fabric pots can be used with suitable irrigation systems as well as conventional hand watering. Irrigation should be adjusted to the crop, substrate and environmental conditions.

When should I move a plant from a 2L pot into a larger container?

Potting-on timing depends on the crop and growing method. Move the plant when its root system is sufficiently established and additional growing-medium volume is required for the next stage of development.

Are RootMASS fabric pots reusable?

Yes. Provided the fabric remains in suitable condition, pots can be emptied, cleaned, dried thoroughly and reused.

Are 2L fabric pots easy to store?

Yes. Their flexible construction allows empty pots to be folded down, so they require much less storage space than equivalent rigid containers.
