I have a plant in a 6L fabric pot from RQS. Do the roots grow through the fabric pot? Can I plant the plant with the fabric pot in my garden bed?

It's possible...thinner the material the easier it is... It's super easy to remove it from the fabric pot... if it's ready for a transplant, the roots should hold the medium together along with some minimal amount of moisture will prevent it from falling apart. If roots have grown into the fabric, run a garden trowel along the outside until you free it up... can also fold down the sides of the fabric and slowly slip it out that way too... many ways to skin this cat. Trying to transplant a tiny plant in a large pot may not be as easy.. the roots won't hold the medium together... if that happens, use smaller pots that fit your timeline, next time. or, let them properly grow into that pot, first, then transplant. Yes, the roots probably would grow through it, but it'll certainly slow it down, too. It takes minimal effort to pull it out, so might as well do it before putting in the earth. ------------------ Those look like velcro pots in the 2nd picture.. Are you goofing around?

Yes, the roots grow through the fabric. This is a natural process called "Air-Pruning." Once a root grows through the fabric and comes into contact with air and light, its length growth stops, and it branches out instead within the pot. You can plant the plant with the fabric pot (like the RQS Grow Bag) directly into your bed. The roots will then simply grow through the fabric into the garden soil. This prevents the plant from becoming root-bound. However, it's advisable to completely cover the top edge of the pot with soil so that the material on the surface doesn't dry out.

Good luck with your project!

Yes, the roots grow through the fabric pot over time, that's actually one of the advantages of fabric pots. With air contact, the root tips get "air-pruned," which encourages the plant to develop more fine lateral roots instead of circling around like in plastic pots. 🌱 And yes, you can place the entire fabric pot directly into the ground. The roots usually find their way through the material to the outside. However, I would make a few small cuts at the bottom or slightly open the base to help them reach the soil faster. Just make sure that the fabric pot stays consistently moist in the ground, otherwise it will draw water away from the soil. Happy Growing Growmie! 🌱
