Do Grow Bags Get Moldy?
Oftentimes, fabric grow bags can start to grow
mold or moss due to too much moisture and too
little sunlight. In fact, mold thrives in dark
and damp environments, and because most fabric
grow bags are not breathable, the soil inside
stays moist for long periods of time especially
when it is not placed in the sun. WhizzPouches
are breathable, which means that it is less
likely to grow mold on the bags. However, this
does not mean that you should not clean your
grow bags every now and then to ensure the

How To Clean Your Fabric Grow Bags?
We do not recommend washing your fabric grow bags
in a washing machine. Instead, hand washing them
is the best option to ensure that your grow bags
last even longer. Follow these steps to clean
your grow bags Empty out the grow bags. Scrub
off any debris stuck on the bag with a soft
brush. Fill a bucket with water, dishwashing
soap, and baking soda. Submerge your bag in the
bucket and allow it to sit for a couple of
minutes. Scrub your bag gently while in the
bucket to ensure it is completely clean. Rinse
your grow bag and ensure the soap mixture is
washed off. Leave your grow bag out to dry in the
sun.
Benefits of Using Fabric Grow Bags
Your plants gain tons of benefits when you switch
over to fabric grow bags. Three of the many
benefits it offers your plants are
No Root Binding
In plastic pots, the roots start to circle around
each other causing your plants to suffocate,
limiting their ability to absorb the necessary
water and nutrients. Fabric grow bags are
breathable and allow for air pruning and proper
root growth. Air pruning burns the plant roots
off naturally, inhibiting root binding and
allowing healthier roots to grow.

Can Be Reused
Fabric plant bags can be reused multiple times,
which lessens the amount of plastic that lands
up in our oceans and landfills each year. They
can simply be washed out and a new plant can be
put in. Excellent Drainage One of the best
benefits of grow bags is their drainage. This
helps to prevent overwatering your plants and
causing the roots to rot. Unlike plastic pots
that have large drainage holes at the bottom that
cause water and soil to wash away quickly,
fabric planters allow excess water to seep out
slowly, ensuring that all the necessary nutrients
are properly absorbed.
