How is a Gro Sleeve® different than other fabric pots or grow bags?

• Octopot’s Gro Sleeve is made from woven fiber instead of felt like non-woven fiber used by other fabric grow bag manufacturers.

• Octopot’s woven fiber does not wick water and stays dry preventing the growth of molds and algae.

• Octopot’s Gro Sleeve is constructed and designed to be open on the bottom so plant roots have unrestricted access to the Hydro Reservoir where they develop a secondary hydroponic root zone.

• Using Octopot Grow Systems instead of fabric pots protects plant roots from growing into the ground where they can be exposed to soil borne diseases or toxic chemicals.

• Using Octopot Grow Systems is cleaner because water and fertilizer or nutrients do not wash out the bottom.

• Using Octopot Grow Systems is saves money because there is no waste of water and no loss of costly fertilizer or nutrients from washout.
