By taking advantage of the benefits of traditional plastic gardening
containers while eliminating the shortcomings, Smart Pots truly live up
to their name! These soft growing containers allow more air to reach
the growing medium and roots, improving drainage and keeping the root
system from overheating on hot days. Plant roots also benefit from
their natural tendency to grow into soft surfaces like the Smart Pot,
becoming thick and healthy instead of circling the inside of the pot
and becoming root-bound.  This ten-inch, three-gallon Smart Pot is
equivalent to a #3 nursery pot.
