Example of an indoor LED setup — illustrative lifestyle scene.
A FABRIC POT FOR YOUR GROWING SPACE
Air around the roots. Room for your plants.
From repotting a young plant to arranging an indoor LED setup, choose a container that fits your space. The Meliflor PROPOT brings together a square base, permeable fabric and six capacities so you can match the container to the root ball.
The geotextile lets air and water pass through. Keep the sides exposed and allow surplus irrigation water to drain.
A square footprint
Plan the layout of your containers with clear base measurements. Include the tray footprint and room for foliage.
Sewn handles
An accessible grip when rearranging your setup. Support the base of a heavy filled pot and move it carefully.
Fabric or plastic pot: what changes for the roots?
Left: fabric pot. Right: smooth-walled plastic pot. Educational illustration of root development, not a measured trial.
Inside a fabric pot
When a root tip reaches a wall exposed to air, it may dry out: this is the principle of air pruning. It can encourage branching rather than roots circling along the wall.
Inside a smooth plastic pot
Roots reaching a smooth wall may follow it and circle within the container, especially when repotting is delayed. Plastic pots remain suitable when pot size, drainage and repotting are managed well.
The outcome depends on the plant, growing medium, watering and exposure of the walls to air. Fabric may dry faster: check moisture and avoid leaving the base standing in water.
Start with the root ball and the space you have. Bigger is not automatically better: watering must suit both plant and growing medium. Compare width and height before choosing a capacity.
Tray sizes are starting points, not a measured fit guarantee. Check that the flat internal base supports the filled pot without squeezing the fabric. The tray’s nominal dimensions do not guarantee that usable area.
Repot in three straightforward steps
Preparing and positioning a root ball — illustrative lifestyle scene.
Prepare Set the pot on a level surface and add a growing medium suitable for your plant. Position the drainage tray before filling.
Position the root ball Set the plant in place, fill around the root ball and firm gently. Leave a little space at the top for watering.
Water gradually Moisten the medium in several passes if needed. Let it drain, then remove surplus water from beneath the pot.
Watering and collecting runoff — illustrative lifestyle scene.
Plan for drainage from the start
The PROPOT is permeable and is not a water reservoir. Use the square plastic grow tray to collect runoff and protect the surface below. Check root-ball moisture before watering again: temperature, airflow, the plant and the mix all affect water demand.
Move the pot carefully and support the base when it is heavy after filling. After a growing cycle, remove the medium and root residues, wash and rinse the fabric, then let it dry before storage.

Questions to answer before you choose
Can I stand it directly on furniture or flooring?
Use a suitable runoff tray. Water can pass through the fabric, so the pot alone does not protect the surface beneath it.
How much room should I allow in a grow tent?
Measure the pot and tray together, then allow room for foliage and watering access. Pot width alone does not determine the number of plants a tent can hold.
Should I follow a fixed watering schedule?
Check the moisture in the growing medium and the weight of the root ball. Frequency changes with the plant, its growth and the environment. Avoid leaving the base standing in water.
Do the images show every capacity?
The white-background photographs show the product; the growing scenes are illustrations created from those photos. Apparent proportions do not replace the measurements for your selected capacity.
Can I reuse the pot?
After a growing cycle, remove the medium and root residues, wash and rinse the fabric, then let it dry before storage. Inspect the seams before using it again.
Does it arrive ready for planting?
It arrives empty. Choose a suitable growing medium and runoff tray separately. Your selected capacity is for one pot, rather than a pack of several pots.
