Products Introduction：
Geotextile Fabric for Planters is a lightweight functional geotextile material designed specifically for container cultivation in horticultural pots, planting boxes, and other containers. It is made from polypropylene (PP) short fibers or polyester (PET) long fibers and processed through needle punched non-woven technology, and has the characteristics of non-toxic, soft, and breathable. Its core function is to be laid at the bottom or side wall of the flowerpot, and through the triple function of "filtering water to prevent blockage, protecting soil and roots, and ventilating and moisturizing", it solves the problems of root rot, soil loss, and blocked drainage holes caused by excessive watering of potted plants, creating a healthy growth environment for plant roots.
The core advantage of this product compared to ordinary plastic filters lies in the balance between environmental friendliness and functionality - it can efficiently filter moisture while maintaining soil permeability, and the biodegradable model (some products) can also reduce horticultural waste pollution, making it suitable for various scenarios such as home gardening, balcony planting, and greenhouse cultivation.
Product Features：
1. Precise water filtration to prevent root rot and water accumulation: The fabric has uniform pores (0.1-0.3mm), which can quickly drain excess water and avoid root rot caused by water accumulation at the bottom of the flowerpot. At the same time, it intercepts soil particles to prevent soil from flowing away with water and blocking drainage holes during watering, maintaining the integrity of the soil structure in the pot. Compared with traditional mesh, the water filtration efficiency is increased by 40%, and it is not easily blocked by soil particles.
2. Breathable and moisture retaining, promoting root development: The three-dimensional porous structure allows for free air circulation, providing sufficient oxygen for the roots and reducing root blockage; At the same time, it can slow down the evaporation rate of soil moisture, extend the watering interval during high temperature seasons (can be extended by 1-2 days), balance the needs of "drainage" and "water retention", especially suitable for moisture sensitive varieties such as succulents and flowers.
3. Environmentally friendly and corrosion-resistant, suitable for various environments: using food grade raw materials, no odor, no harmful precipitation, can directly contact cultivation soil and plant roots, safe and suitable for planting edible plants such as vegetables and herbs; Resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, it can be used stably in damp soil environments (with a service life of 8-12 months), and some biodegradable models can naturally decompose after disposal, reducing environmental burden.
4. Easy to cut and use, suitable for various containers: light and thin texture (30-80g/m ²), strong flexibility, can be freely cut according to the size of the flowerpot (round, square, irregular), and the edges are not easy to fuzz; When laying, no tools are required. It can be directly laid on the bottom of the pot or wrapped around the side wall, without affecting the filling of the pot soil and plant planting. It is suitable for various flower pots and planting boxes with a diameter of 5cm to 50cm.

Product Applications：
1. Home balconies and indoor potted plants: Lay them at the bottom of succulent pots, green ivy pots, and rose pots to solve the problems of leaking mud and poor drainage at the bottom of the pot after watering indoors, and keep the balcony and tabletop clean; When used for hanging flower pots, it can wrap the pot soil to prevent soil from spilling during watering, suitable for the daily planting needs of home gardening enthusiasts.
2. Greenhouse and Nursery Seedling Cultivation: Lay at the bottom of seedling trays and nutrient bowls to improve the air permeability of seedling roots, reduce root rot diseases during seedling growth, and increase seedling survival rate; When combined with plug cutting, it can prevent soil erosion at the base of the cuttings, stabilize the root growth environment, and adapt to large-scale seedling cultivation scenarios for flowers and vegetables.
3. Courtyard landscape and outdoor flower pots: used for large planting boxes and flower troughs in the courtyard, to cope with soil erosion caused by outdoor rainwater erosion, while slowing down the compaction speed of pot soil and reducing the maintenance frequency of landscape plants; Used in lightweight flower pots in rooftop gardens, it can also reduce its own weight and improve overall waterproofing with a drainage layer.
4. Hydroponic and semi hydroponic plants: Lay in a transitional container from soil cultivation to hydroponics, isolate the root soil from nutrient solution, and avoid turbid water quality; Used for the bottom of semi hydroponic plants such as lotus and copper money grass, it can not only fix the soil, but also allow for free exchange of water, taking into account the needs of the water and soil environment.
Geotextile Fabric for Planters focuses on the core pain points of potted planting, with the core advantages of "precise water filtration to prevent root rot, breathability to maintain moisture and promote growth, environmental protection, safety, and easy operation", providing efficient root protection solutions for various container cultivation.
