The RootMASS 8L Fabric Pot is a breathable plant container designed to promote natural air pruning, improved root-zone aeration and free drainage. A practical alternative to a conventional rigid plastic pot, its porous fabric construction encourages plants to develop a dense, fibrous root system throughout the growing medium.
With an 8 litre capacity, this RootMASS pot is a useful intermediate size for establishing plants that need more root space without immediately moving into a large final container. The flexible construction is lightweight and easy to store, while integrated handles provide convenient lifting points when positioning the pot.
RootMASS fabric pots can be used with a wide variety of suitable growing media, including compost, soil and coco-based substrates, making them a versatile option for both indoor and outdoor horticulture.
Why choose the RootMASS 8L Fabric Pot?
- 8 litre capacity - a versatile container size for establishing and growing a wide range of plants.
- Breathable fabric - 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.
- Improved root-zone aeration - porous construction increases air exchange around the growing medium.
- Free draining - excess irrigation water can escape through the fabric rather than relying only on holes in the base.
- Integrated handles - provides useful lifting points when positioning the container.
- Lightweight and flexible - easy to handle when empty and compact to store between uses.
- Reusable design - can be cleaned, dried and reused when maintained appropriately.
- Versatile growing media - suitable for compost, soil, coco and other appropriate container-growing substrates.
- Indoor or outdoor use - suitable for a broad range of horticultural growing applications.
How RootMASS fabric pots air prune roots
In a conventional rigid plant pot, actively growing roots eventually reach the solid wall of the container. Because they cannot grow through it, they can begin travelling around the inside edge of the pot, creating the familiar root-circling effect.
RootMASS uses a breathable fabric wall instead. As root tips reach the aerated outer edge of the growing medium, their continued extension is naturally restricted. This encourages additional lateral roots to develop further back within the root system.
The result is a more extensively branched, fibrous root structure capable of exploring the growing medium rather than simply following the perimeter of the container.
Excellent drainage & aeration
One of the major differences between a fabric pot and a conventional plastic container is the amount of permeable surface area. Rather than draining only through a small number of holes in the base, moisture can pass through the porous fabric.
This provides excellent drainage while allowing greater movement of air around the root zone. Good drainage is still dependent on using an appropriate growing medium and irrigation regime, so the pot should not be treated as a substitute for correct watering practice.
Fabric containers may dry more quickly than equivalent rigid pots in warm or dry conditions. Check the moisture level of the substrate and adjust irrigation to suit the crop and environment.
A versatile 8 litre growing container
The 8L capacity makes this RootMASS fabric pot suitable for a broad range of plants and growing situations. It provides considerably more root volume than small propagation containers while remaining compact enough for efficient use of growing space.
Suitable applications include:
- Young and established plants
- Herbs and edible crops
- Ornamental plants
- Container-grown fruiting plants
- Nursery and propagation work
- Indoor horticulture
- Outdoor container growing
Suitable for soil, compost & coco
RootMASS fabric pots are compatible with a wide variety of container-growing substrates. They can be filled with conventional potting compost, soil-based mixes, coco-based substrates or other appropriate growing media.
When filling the pot, distribute the growing medium evenly and avoid excessive compaction. Maintaining suitable pore space within the substrate supports both drainage and oxygen availability around the root system.
Flexible, lightweight & easy to store
Unlike rigid plastic pots, fabric containers can be folded down when empty. This significantly reduces the amount of storage space required when pots are not in use and makes them convenient to transport in quantity.
The integrated handles provide convenient lifting points for positioning the pot. Once filled with wet growing medium and an established plant, however, the complete container can become considerably heavier, so it should always be moved carefully.

RootMASS 8L Fabric Pot FAQs
What is the advantage of a fabric plant pot?
The breathable construction provides excellent drainage and root-zone aeration while encouraging natural air pruning, helping reduce the root circling commonly seen in rigid containers.
What is air pruning?
Air pruning occurs when actively growing root tips reach the breathable perimeter of the pot. Continued extension at the tip is restricted, encouraging additional lateral root development within the growing medium.
Does the RootMASS 8L pot have handles?
Yes. This black 8L RootMASS pot has integrated handles to provide convenient lifting points when positioning the container.
Can I use coco in a RootMASS fabric pot?
Yes. RootMASS fabric pots can be used with suitable coco-based growing media as well as conventional compost, soil mixes and other appropriate substrates.
Do I need to make drainage holes in the fabric?
No. The fabric itself is porous and allows excess moisture to pass through the container. Position the pot where drainage water can escape or be collected appropriately.
Do fabric pots need different watering?
Potentially. The breathable sides can increase evaporation compared with a rigid plastic pot, particularly in warm conditions. Check substrate moisture regularly and irrigate according to the plant, growing medium and environment.
Can the RootMASS 8L pot be reused?
Yes. The fabric pot is reusable. After the crop is removed, clear away old roots and growing medium, clean the pot appropriately and allow it to dry thoroughly before storage or reuse.
Can fabric pots be stored flat?
Yes. Their flexible construction means empty RootMASS pots can be folded down, making them much more compact to store than equivalent rigid containers.
Can I use the RootMASS 8L Fabric Pot outdoors?
Yes. RootMASS fabric pots are suitable for indoor and outdoor horticultural use. Outdoor watering requirements will vary with rainfall, temperature, wind, plant size and the growing medium used.
