Recycled Fiber Fabric Pots

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

recycled flower pots
We love them because they are made from recycled plastic fibers, but you’ll love them because they are great for your plants providing proper soil aeration and optimal growing conditions. (plants don’t dry out too fast like clay pots or too slow like plastic, since it can’t breathe) If you want to repot? You can just “unzip” the pot and transplant to your heart’s content. Easy to clean and reuse.
Available in two different shapes and three different fabrics. The pot on the left measures 7.5“ tall, 8.5“ in diameter at the bottom and 6.75“ at the top. The product on the right is 7” tall and 8.5” in diameter.
$40.00 for left pot, and $30.00 for right pot at Hova Design
