Can anyone who knows how to use this kind of pot explain how it is used? I live in Georgia w/ red clay for dirt.** A: It's very easy. The pot itself is basically made of weed-preventer cloth, sewn together in a pot shape. So, the product arrives folded up in a plastic bag. You take it out, and just "open" the pot up, shape it as it were. Think of a floppy hat, it's the same idea. You take that out of your drawer, flop it open, and put it on. With this pot, similar idea.When the pot is fully opened, it should maintain it's pre-made pot shape. Then, just add your soil. You may have to pull the edges back a bit every so often, as you put the soil in. And most important, you want to make sure that the soil is packed in properly, all the way around the edges and down to the bottom. Don't leave "air pockets" in the soil. My suggestion is to fill the pot up to about 1 to 1/2 inches before the top of the rim.Before filling the pot with soil all the way, you want to make sure you put soil in at the bottom first, leaving enough room for the plant and root ball. Also, for the most part, you want to make sure that you fill the pot up in such a way, that the plant will be planted at, or just barely above the soil line, and within 1 inch of the rim. That is a general rule. Then you are basically finished.One thing to remember is, since this entire pot is porous, you may have to water the plant a bit more often than usual. Follow the general rules of whatever it is that you are planting. And also, clay soil, for the most part, is not great for most plants. I would use a potting mix soil, or some loam soil mixed in for drainage. But again keeping in mind that this pot will aid in draining much faster than others. **Q: Has anyone used these for more than one season? I am wondering if the bag starts to deteriorate over time. Please only reply if you have the answer.** A: They are pretty durable -- I've had them for four seasons, used them for two -- they are still solid. I take care of them -- I wash and dry them thoroughly before storing over the winter. **Q: I live in a second floor apartment and am concerned that water would leak out the bottom of the pot...right onto the neighbor's patio downstairs!Help?** A: Some suggested watering a few times per day in order to avoid water run-off, which is not practical for most people. I would like to see Smart Pots create a solution to water leaking from the bottom of the pot. In the meantime, a saucer may work but I am concerned that the pot fabric will rot from sitting in saucer water. **Q: What size Smart Pot would I need to grow indeterminate staked tomato plants?** A: Depends how many you want to grow in it. This one could grow several, for instance, but if you put two or three they'll be even bigger and more plentiful. This one could grow a few tomatoes with smaller plants in front, such as basil, which is a great companion plant, and whatever else you'd like to grow - perhaps beans or cucs or even a some eggplants. If you're wondering which size pot to get for a single tomato plant, 5 gallon at minimum. 10 gallon would be ideal. Hope this helped a bit. This 100 gallon one I happen to own and it is large - a small garden in itself. It's a great size if you're looking for a large contained area. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very good looking and highly efficient pot *by on Reviewed in the United States July 6, 2015* Smart pots 5-gallon smart pot soft sided container that is black in color is a very good looking and highly efficient pot. Smart pots mimic the condition of the soil and placing the plant in such kind of pots ensures that the plants grow healthily as if they were in the soil. The smart pot goes for $6.76. You might be tempted to think that the pot is inferior if price is anything to go by. But that assertion is further from the truth because the smart pot works efficiently. There are other similar pots that are pricey but I believe that this pot works with the same potency as the pricey ones. There is however no need of investing in the pricey ones yet this one works more or less the same way. This soft sided fabric aeration pot has the rigidity to hold its shape. Aeration helps in the root structure of a plant. I was a bit skeptic because of the soft sides and I thought that the pot would lose its shape but luckily my theory was wrong and unfounded. Good roots lead to more flowers and fruits and ever greens. Roots are the epitome of any plant and nurturing them is the only sure way of ensuring that the flowers and the fruits are healthy and good looking. It also allows excess heat to escape. Everything about this aeration pot is lovable mainly because it works as advertised. I still haven’t found any cons that I would attach to this pot and that’s why I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality and economical aeration pot. I use it to grow trees but you can basically use it grow other plantations. Whichever plant you decide to grow in this aeration pots you can be assured that you will derive the same good results. A plastic pot is suffocating in nature and roots literally die (in that roots circle). Multiple roots boosts quicker growth because roots don’t circle. The plastic pots aren’t dedicated planting pots and they can only do so much. Elated roots eventually lead to good looking plantation and you can be assured of that with this aeration pot. I can’t talk much about its durability because I have had it for some time and it has held up pretty well. My best bet is that this aeration pot will be here for months if not years. Highly recommended!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These work as advertised and plants seem to like them a lot!!! *by on Reviewed in the United States May 26, 2015* After going through several reviews, videos and recommendations from friends, I have gone ahead and purchased few of these Smart Pots to do some R&D and some beta-testing :) These smart pots work and plants seem to like growing in them a lot. I have gotten 2 5-Gal pots and planted a tomato plant in each and at the same time planted couple of tomato plants on the ground. I have used a signature blend potting soil from a local landscaping store with lots of useful stuff in them as that was much cheaper than buying from bigger B&M stores. The ones in the smart pots both have gotten very big and started fruiting, while the ones in the ground have not grown as big and only one of them have started bearing fruit while all of them had the same kind of soil. I also observed the roots at the bottom of the tomato plants within 3 weeks and that shows the healthy root growth of the plant. These smart pots kind of air prune the roots so that the roots are confined and are not out grown crazily outside the pot. I occasionally move the pots from one location to another so as to not attract any kind of bugs under the pot. See the attached pics to see the difference in the growth b/w ground vs Smart PotAs some reviewer suggested, getting bigger pots will definitely help. I would not go anything below 5 Gal and would use 5 Gals for smaller plants and 10G or bigger for the tomato plants or any other vegetable plants that link to have deep roots.These Smart Pots seem to be made of some kind of polyester material that are kind of fibrous that have several air pores. Surprisingly, I found a similar material used as a lining in my Honda Civic's Trunk. I am also doing some research and exploration using big fabric shopping bags as Pots vs Smart Pots for growing plants. I will come back to post my research. Otherwise these smart pots work as advertised.These smart ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pots that grow with your plants. *by on Reviewed in the United States August 24, 2016* School has just started back and I started my garden in May or June. I started off in 8 inch plastic pots but knew quickly my plants needed more space. I live on the 6th floor and can't plant in the ground so I looked every place I could. I needed large pots since I was growing peppers and tomatoes and other plants. I found all kinds of pots but they cost so much. Then I came across this one. It is perfect. Not only were they just $15 each at the time I got them but the pots are soft which makes my plants not get over heated. This is a bonus with the sun shining on them most of the day. The pots allow extra water to drain. This is also a plus since when it rains, it rains hard and when I water, I water a lot. I do not have to worry about over watering because all the extra water flose right out. I have had to rearrange my pots when some plants grew to big for their spots and these pots make it so easy to move them. I also was able to plant them when they were smaller and fold the sides of the pots down then slowly add dirt to them as they grew and raised the pots sides. This was so helpful because repotting plants can be stressful on them. I am inlove with these pots and am going to get them for now on. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/7426748-smart-pots-15-gallon-smart-pot-soft-sided-container-black](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/7426748-smart-pots-15-gallon-smart-pot-soft-sided-container-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
