Greenhouse Growing
A perfect balance of controlled environment and sunlight, greenhouse growing is increasingly the choice for short crops with specific needs.
Make your root zone as temperate as your greenhouse.
Whether it’s citrus, fruit, or shade, you made the investment to give your plants the best chance possible to start strong. Now, let Root Pouch take it from there.
With fabrics specifically designed for crops on short cycles, our technology makes sure you hit your deadlines with extra root growth and vitality to show.
Giving your plant a better engine.
From the beginning, Root Pouches will discourage root circling to promote dense, fibrous root balls, even during short growth cycles. This leads to developing a strong root system the tree needs.

Test after test, no root-pruning plastic container comes close to the results from Root Pouch. The reasons are evident — you may get some air pruning from slit pots, but be ready to water multiple times daily. On the other hand, with Root Pouch you can prune by entrapment, and keep your watering down to lower levels not previously possible.
Have a hard time believing us? We get it. Listen to the head grower at J. Frank Schmidt explain their results.
750,000 is a pretty
big number.
A common issue with fabric containers is potting — we will be the first to say, no doubt it is different. Ironically, over-automation can overcomplicate: many of the biggest nurseries in the world push out huge numbers every year by keeping it simple.
Agromillora Nursery, for example, can process over 1,000 2-gallon pots every hour — producing nearly a million plants a year in Root Pouch.
The benefits don’t stop there. Growing in Root Pouch fundamentally changes quality and efficiency during and after harvest.
Your team leads will thank you.
Moving thousands of units — whether between greenhouses or onto trucks — doesn’t have to be hard. Our handles are built tough to give workers a helping hand when go-time comes around.
Continued quality, all the way to your customer.
Compared to plastic pots, Root Pouch’s fabric not only keeps roots more temperate during transit, but it also eliminates the need for cardboard and paper trunk protection. Best yet, load up to 15% more per truckload than the same size plastic.
